💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway
-
Hi I followed the instructions, but I can't get it to work, I have a Raspberry Pi 1 Rev1 with NRF24 connected following the instructions.
First I configured it just using ./configure --spi-driver=SPIDEV --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --soc=BCM2835 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=22 --my-rf24-cs-pin=24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003
I also tried with almost every combination but I always get the same errors.
The idea is for it to be used as a standalone GW running from RPI with RF directly attached to it (SPI is enabled and I don't get any errors when compiling)
I can send the logs if needed, any help will be welcome, thanks!

Tried it and got the same output, I also tried with a different NRF24 just in case and doublechecked the connections. are the options I am using ok?

@gohan, Thank you! I got it to work. First I tried with the development branch and it didn't work either, then I used the following instructions https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1151/tutorial-raspberry-pi-nrf24l01-direct-connection
And when that didn't work either I rechecked the wiring which ended up being the reason for it to fail previously, "faulty wires".
I got it to work with the master branch.pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw -d

Hi.
I have a Raspberry Pi already configured as gateway, but I don't know how to interact with. I means, how can I read incoming data from? I tried open /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway as a common serial port but I got a message error:
cu: open (/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway): Permission denied
cu: /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway: Line in use
With 'ps ax' command I can see only '/usr/local/sbin/PiGatewaySerial -d' running as a deamon.
Could someone explain me what's ne next step for? -

It looks like you are using the Raspberry Pi gateway for MySensors 1.5. If you are just starting out, I suggest you use the gateway for the current version instead. Documentation: https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry
That version of the gateway has a debug mode where you can see the messages in the console.
The next step would be to select a controller. Information about this is available at https://www.mysensors.org/about/network

I'd compile it as ethernet gateway, follow the guide on how to configure the parameters, then you can use MySController (search the forum, there is a topic with download link) and use that to connect to it
@gohan Thank you to answer! Good tip, I will do that!

@mfalkvidd Yes, I'm using 1.5. Thank you for suggest me the newer version. I will update it today!

Hello, all!
I read a lot of comments to find a solution to my problem, but seems it's something that I couldn't understand yet.The old version was working in my Raspberry Pi using Raspbian Wheeze, so, to install the new version i updated my system until the latest version (Raspbian Stetch). I could compile MySensors, but I'm getting the common error when testing with mysgw -d:
"MYSGW: MCD:BGN INIT GW, CP=RNNG---,VER-2.1.1" and so on.I used this parameters in configure:
./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet
--my-port=5003 --my-controlle-ip-address=192.168.1.2
--my-gateway=mqtt --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out
--my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in
--my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1I couldn't find a solution yet. Can someone help me?

wow, it's was really fast! Thanks to answer. I'm use an ethernet interface. It's up but have no cable on their. I didn't install a controller yet, so, is there no problem yet, right?
Sorry that, I'm really a newbie using MySensors.[updating]

@Djames-Suhanko said in 💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway:
--my-controlle-ip-address
this also is not necessary. Also for now remove all these --my-gateway=mqtt --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out
--my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in
--my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1
and use it as ethernet gateway to keep it simple -
Ok, I will try it right now!

Hello folks,
my past experience is using nrf24 library at https://github.com/Blavery/lib_nrf24, and i was able to send/receive "text" data (or "string" data) in between Raspi3 (master node) and Arduino (slave). And this is a big issue, because what i need is numerical data (float or integer), not text data, so Raspi 3 can process the numerical data (such as to do the plotting), and based on the processed data to make some decisions. My raspi 3 is controlling a moving robot. Can you advise appropriate nrf24 library for raspberry pi and Arduino, and sample codes for this kind of applicaitons? Thanks -

Not sure how you found us, but the library we use here is...MySensors. It certanly does what you describe. The best way to start is to read how MySensors works at https://www.mysensors.org/about and then go on to the many build examples and build your first node.
