FINALLY! after a journey of almost 2 years, the official MySensors Sensebender Gateway (discussed over here) is now entering pre-sales at our parther itead.cc, with an expected shipment date of around 21st of January.

I know this has been a bit longer than first anticipated, but I hope that you all will bear with me on this one, as my daytime job has taken too much control over my life the past year.

The plan is that it will be released with the latest firmware (we have release 2.1 coming up one of the next days). It will be built for NRF24 radios, without signing. But you can all change this by uploading a new firmware with arduino.

Please head over to https://www.itead.cc/mysensors-gateway.html if you are interested in buying this board, or read the discussions on the openhardware project page https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2761/mysensors-gateway

(By buying this board, you will also support the mysensors community, as we will receive a small commission of the sales from itead)

I deployed 5 sensebender nodes just after release in 2015, all with 2 AA batteries from ikea.1 died within a couple of years, because it was placed outdoors. But the rest kept going, and all have been going until this year. So 8 years of battery time on one set of batteries.. I think that is excellent battery life..

I saw this page and thought I give it a go. So I bought two OrangePi Zero 2. There's a lot of potential (WiFi) as a dedicated gateway. Currently the price is about US$20 on AliExpress (caveat emptor) There are a few flavors of Linux for it. I've dabbled with Armbian, Ubuntu and Debian Another upside is that it doesn't draw a lot of current ~0.5A, though I haven't been successful in getting the radio to run (the reason for me being here) This is also a downside as I suspect the power supply needs to be very close to 5V. Thinking it was a power hog like the RPi, I used a 5V-3A supply. This supply operates on the principle that the load will pull down the voltage. There are dire warnings on the orangepi page about using cheap SD cards, but failed to mention that power supplies have to be matched, too. It has a different CPU than the Orange Pi Zero non-2, the board that is used here. Use the serial interface to configure the board. You're going to be doing all your configuration in a terminal, anyway, so you don't need a monitor or a keyboard. https://www.instructables.com/Setup-Orange-Pi-Using-Serial-Port/ The big downside is that the SPI interface is not supported. My research indicates that in order to get it to work one must jump through some serious hoops and being low on the learning curve, those hoops are probably out of my reach. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/21688-tips-on-configuring-double-spi-through-two-chipselects-on-orange-pi-zero-2/ The armbian OS has another big downside, WiFi is not supported. Putting a TP-Link nano router configured as a client works, but it's another $30! Why did they even release the OS? So! Was anyone successful in getting the Orange Pi Zero 2 configured as a gateway?

Thank you @JeeLet ! I've been struggling with missing msgs for years with my Arduino Mega I changed pin and no issues! In the pjon code I've reached to list of tested pins that communication works properly https://github.com/gioblu/PJON/blob/38e36bb1228c1690143cfbf693a0bcb809514d6c/src/strategies/OverSampling/README.md?plain=1#L12
