    Thanks - I can only think my connections are wrong then. Can't get any comms going on the rfm69.

      You allso need to connect the DI00 for the RFM69.

        @korttoma That probably explains why I can't get it working. Do you know what pin it needs to connect to on the nodemcu?

        On this link the DI00 is gray (https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio) but here it doesnt show where to connect it (https://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway)

          Did you try @chrille wiring:

          exemple here:

            I do not know about the nodemcu but I connected IRQ (DI00 of RFM69) to GPIO4 on my ESP-07 and added the following line to the sketch:

            #define MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN 4

              @emc2 Thanks for the link.

              I've connected up the missing pin and believe the wiring is all correct. Double checked the wiring on the arduino mini as well to the rfm69 (Via logic converter)

              Still can't get it to communicate using DallasTemperatureSensor-RFM69.ino

                And you set up the pins radio type in your gateway sketch too right?

                // Enables and select radio type (if attached)
                #define MY_RADIO_RFM69
                #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY   RF69_868MHZ
                #define MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN 4
                #define MY_RF69_SPI_CS 15

                    I guess you would need to give the logs for the gateway too, to see if you have a radio fail somewhere.

                        It seems good on the gateway to me, no radio error at least.
                        Past that no idea.

                              On the arduino mini I think you should connect the DI00 (IRQ) to pin 2 like you see on this page

                              For some CPU types the IRQ pin is hard coded and can not be re-assigned.

                                  @emc2 Interesting read.

                                  @korttoma I've connected up IRQ line. Still no luck,

                                  @TON-RIJNAARD Have tried that now as well. No luck.

                                  Tried going back to basics and now have 2 x Arduino pros with RFM69 - both loaded with pingpong script.

                                  Don't know where I'm going wrong but I can't even start the script - entering 1 or T does nothing. (I"ve used the script before with the NRF radio and it works)

                                  Have also tried the latest dev version.

                                  Just keep getting this on both arduinos:
