💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway
-
I tried for months to get a stable working nrf24 attached to pi to act as a gw and controller.
In the end I gave up and now have a 3.3V 8MHz pro mini gw attached to the pi. I took 0v and 5v from the pi (via a 3.3v buck converter) and serial tx and rx. Only 4 wires needed and has been as stable as can be for over a week now.
Maybe help someone with the same unsolveable problems?

Hello all!
I'm trying to build a gateway with a Raspberry pi2, ethernet and Domoticz.
It looks like the gateway is beeing built ok and seems to run fine but nodes can not communicate with it.
I have read most of the postings here but I can not find any solution.
Hope you guys can help? Please!I run raspbian (Jessie) pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors/bin $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 4.9.35-v7+ #1014 SMP Fri Jun 30 14:47:43 BST 2017 armv7l GNU/LinuxUsing master branch
https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch masterConfiguring like this
pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ ./configure --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=22 --my-rf24-cs-pin=24 [SECTION] Detecting target machine. [OK] machine detected: SoC=unknown, Type=unknown, CPU=armv7l. [SECTION] Checking GPIO Sysfs. [OK] /sys/class/gpio/export found [SECTION] Detecting SPI driver. [OK] SPI driver detected:SPIDEV. [SECTION] Detecting init system. [OK] init system detected: systemd. [SECTION] Saving configuration. [SECTION] Cleaning previous builds. [OK] Finished.Obs! No Raspberry identification, why not? Maybe that is the culprit?
After make I start the gateway and get this:pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ cd bin pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors/bin $ sudo ./mysgw -d mysgw: Starting gateway... mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.1 mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.1 mysgw: TSM:INIT mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0 mysgw: TSM:INIT:TSP OK mysgw: TSM:INIT:GW MODE mysgw: TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0 mysgw: MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED mysgw: Listening for connections on 0.0.0.0:5003 mysgw: MCO:BGN:STP mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1 mysgw: New connection from 127.0.0.1 mysgw: Client 0 connected mysgw: Client 0: 0;0;3;0;2; mysgw: Client 0: 0;0;3;0;2;Get Version mysgw: Client 0: 0;0;3;0;18;PINGSeems nice and dandy and Domoticz connecting fine.
Trying with this example node:#define MY_RADIO_NRF24 #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_LOW #define MY_DEBUG #define MY_NODE_ID 42 //#define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RF24 #define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600 #include <MySensors.h> #include<Arduino.h> #define OPEN 1 #define CLOSE 0 #define CHILD_ID 1 MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID, V_TRIPPED); uint8_t value = OPEN; void setup() { Serial.print("setup()\n"); } void presentation() { sendSketchInfo("Door", "2.1.1"); present(CHILD_ID, S_DOOR); Serial.print("presentation()\n"); } void loop() { value = value == OPEN ? CLOSE : OPEN; send(msg.set(value)); Serial.print("message sent"); Serial.print(value + "\n"); sleep(1000); }And recieve this when running:

Both radio modules using capacitors.What have I missed?
Thanks, Andreas!

@aglock I put a note on the raspberry gateway page to use latest development in case of problems with stable. Did you try?

@mfalkvidd Wow, thanks that works! :D

Got mysensors gateway working on gpio of my Pi again using ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-irq-pin=15 --my-leds-err-pin=12 --my-leds-rx-pin=16 --my-leds-tx-pin=18 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003
However on tx or tx always the two leds connected to pin 16 and 18 are lit. More people with the same problem?

Can we use the "debug ota log" features with the raspberryPi gateway ??
My node is not accessible and runs MYSBootloader.
My gateway is raspberryPI.Now, I need to update the firmware on my node. Via MYSController, no problems, upload runs like a charm.
But how to do for debugging my sketch ? Some bugs appear...... , I need to take a look on some vars values.
Usually, I use the serial port with serial.print(some vars).
Which alternative I have to use without serial port, only OTA features ?Thanks for the great work !!
-
In fact, I do not need to log, but need to look what's happen in my sketch.
The new "OTALog" function, MY_OTA_LOG_SENDER_FEATURE or MY_DEBUG_OTA seems to be the good way.
From the docs, it allows to send a debug message to another node or gateway via OTA.But how to got the debug message from OTA node, on the gateway side (RaspberryPi) ?

MY_DEBUG_OTA

Well, you found the starting point !
MY_OTA_LOG_SENDER_FEATURE & MY_DEBUG_OTA are enabled on my OTA node.
Again the same question: What I have to do on the gateway side ?
Is it possible with the raspberry Gateway ?I'm still looking for debugging my sketch in remote. I need to have a look on the debug messages. I reminder, the node is not accessible and runs MYSbootloader.

@gohan, there are two MQTT plugins for the Vera with varying capabilities. But, the mysensors plugin for Vera doesn't appear to support MQTT at all. I could probably get one of those MQTT plugins working, but I'm not sure how stable they are. I hate installing unstable plugins and having them crash LUUP. I need to maintain a positive WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor), and broken HA doesn't help with that. :)
