💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway

[gohan]

Have you tried both ethernet or mqtt?

[Richard van der Plas]

@gohan the latest stable version i guess. Where can i check?

[gohan]

@Richard-van-der-Plas try the 2.2 beta, it usually works better

[Richard van der Plas]

@gohan just checked it's 2.1.1, is it easy to upgrade?

[gohan]

@Richard-van-der-Plas just clone the 2.2 dev instead of the stable, the rest is the same

[Richard van der Plas]

@gohan fatal: destination path 'MySensors' already exists and is not an empty directory. It goes wrong with the first command, could you please give me some pointers ?

[gohan]

you need to either delete or rename the Mysensors folder :)

Hello,
I designed a PCB for rfm or nrf -> raspberry pi
https://www.openhardware.io/view/470/MySensors-Gateway-for-Raspberry-PI

[gohan]

I am trying to get the gateway to run the RFM69W radio but when I issue the "make" command I get this

In file included from ./MySensors.h:318:0,
                 from examples_linux/mysgw.cpp:83:
./drivers/RFM69/new/RFM69_new.cpp:658:12: warning: ‘void RFM69_ATCmode(bool, int16_t)’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
 LOCAL void RFM69_ATCmode(const bool onOff, const int16_t targetRSSI)
            ^

It is latest beta.

@gohan what configure command did you use? Knowing that would make it easier to reproduce the problem...
Does this warning cause any problem?

[gohan]

Just simple rfm69w 433 with default options. It compiles but I get no communication with nodes and 100% processor, but maybe I did a bad wiring

[mfalkvidd]

@gohan debug output could be useful ;-)

[gohan]

I would have posted it but it just shows as no nodes are trying to connect and nodes are unable to find a parent of course. I'm using the rfm2nrf pcb in order to have the pins to connect to the raspberry.

PS here is the log of the startup

On my test RPI3 it is working.... I have to double check the other one.

@gohan Hi there updated to the latest dev, but i still have to restart the service after a few days, this is the message in the log:

Hello, I'm also have issue with this question. My Raspberry Pi 2 type is a01041, but by the original "configure" file it is not recognized:

[SECTION] Detecting target machine.
  [OK] machine detected: SoC=unknown, Type=unknown, CPU=armv7l.

Maybe someone could explain why it is not recognized?

"Configure" file lines:

function detect_machine {
...
    case $hardware in
...
    BCM2835)
        soc="BCM2835"
        if [[ $machine == "Raspberry"* ]]; then
            local rev=($(detect_rpi_revision))
            if [[ $rev == "a02082" || $rev == "a22082" ]]; then
                tp="RPi3"
            else
                tp="Rpi2"
            fi
        fi

Double radio or alternative pin for spi1:

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7702/double-spi-radio-raspberry-pi/2

[arraWX]

I followed the instructions carefully. However I get an error. Can someone help?

git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch master
cd MySensors
./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet

This results in a warning:

[SECTION] Detecting SPI driver.
  [WARNING] No supported SPI driver detected.

When I run make I get the follwing error:

In file included from examples_linux/mysgw.cpp:74:0:
./MySensors.h:254:2: error: #error No support for nRF24 radio on this platform
 #error No support for nRF24 radio on this platform

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Maybe you didn't enable SPI on the pi.

From command prompt type 'sudo raspi-config', then select option 5 from the menu. This takes you to where you can enable the SPI bus on the pi. Then try again.

@skywatch Thank you! That solved my problem.
