Pavel Polititsky

I was build a new button node with new arduino (8mhz) and new nrf24, then update to 2.3.0 gateway and all other devices
But now have a worse result than before

But no incoming messages at the gateway. Only several random messages coming to controller from one hundred button clicks
Sometimes after fast series of clicks I get this:

Then it continue works as before

Actually I have problems only with fu@ing button, most simplest device. Several month I can't to start use it.
All other devices are working properly even on 2.3.0 ver. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

gohan

Have you tried with a debouce? Just in case...

@gohan the default sketch with debounce library works better, but now i see my primary problem.
Occasionally I have an ACK errors

I tried to icrease the time ack on my controller - it does not help
Ithink that I need to ckeck ack state on the node and send the message again, but have no idea how to do

gohan

you are at the limit of the radio range I'd say so randomly it looses a message, so you need to either increase power or get a better antenna (I hope you aren't using any buck/boost converter as power supply)

Pavel Polititsky

@gohan how you know?
Id 21 from range 0..255. Are you sure that is limit?

Same with any different IDs, I tried sending message 3 times, this guarantees delivery of payload, but it using too much power

Now I use power supply with 1117

But my other nodes powered by CR2032 with boost 0.8-3.3V dc/dc with inductor coil on the NRF24 supply pin without any troubles

He means radio range (distance) not ID of node ;)

Pavel Polititsky

@nca78 oke, undestood
Problem stiil not resolved. I want to send message again to the gateway if NACK but dont know how to do it.

send(msg.set(value == HIGH), true);

in this case i have additional ack log in the serial debug, nothing more

gohan

The send function returns a value, so you can check if it was successfully sent or not and in case retry

alowhum

A quick ACK example:

        static boolean tryAgainLater = false; // should we resend?

        if(send(msgDust.setSensor(CHILD_ID_DUST_PM25).set(sensorValue),1)){
          Serial.println(F("Received ACK"));
          tryAgainLater = false;
        }else {
          Serial.println(F("Connection problem, try again"));
          tryAgainLater = true;
        }

There is no need to set the second parameter to send() to true. That parameter is unrelated to the return value (except very unfortunate similar naming). More info: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/1103

Ah, thanks. So ACK basically always happens?

in that case, do you have any better example code on how to check if the ACK is received?

mfalkvidd

@alowhum on nrf24, "hardware" ack is always on. "Software" ack is controlled by the second parameter in the send() function. Read https://forum.mysensors.org/post/34267 for an attempt to sort out the details. It is still quite confusing for me.

tiana

What will happen if i cut the power OFF of the radio after each transmission? is it needed to be initialize again before next transmission?

mfalkvidd

@tiana yes.

But don't cut the power. Use transportDisable and transportReInitialize instead.

tiana

Do you know how much will be power usage in transportDisable mode?

mfalkvidd

@tiana depends on which transport you are using, and if using genuine or clone chips. The nrf24 is rated for 900nA.

tiana

Thanks for fast reply, actually 900nA is to big number and i prefer to use xxx_POWER_PIN to cut the power of the NRF module.
I am building switch powered with CR2032 battery and i want to extend battery live as much as possible, for a switch is not needed to keep radio alive, i need it ON only when transmit signal

mfalkvidd

@tiana 900nA on a cr2032 is 27.9 years battery life. The self discharge of a cr2032 is around 250nA.
But yes, use the power pin setting if you want to.

Would be interesting to see how long sleep times are needed to make up for the extra time needed to wake up the radio from power off compared to sleep. The mcu and the radio will need to be awake for 100ms longer time when starting from power off than when starting from sleep.

Terence Faul

Hi I notice that there is not sleep in this sketch. Is it not required for this build
