@Mark-Swift Hmm, that's odd - just tested it here with the latest dev and all is ok. Can you post the logs + node sketch?

@tekka, just tried again, perhaps I'm missing something obvious?

I have the gateway and node using the latest dev branch, I click the node in MYS and then request a signal report - I see a tx in the log but nothing further? Do I need anything in the node sketch or the gateway? Does this work with the NRF's?

Did you try with 1.3.0-beta.4? https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsBootloaderRF24/tree/development

@tekka that did it, it's now working... now to figure out what the returned signal report numbers mean :)

@tekka thank You for the answer. I'm not sure is answer was dedicated for me or for Mark, but I tested 1.3.0-beta.4 in the same way I described before:

• Tested with 2 different Atmega328p
• First try was with 1MHz - working on both Atmega328p
• Second try with 8MHz - same situation as with beta 3, skecth won't upload and I get answer from Arduino Avrdude (this time I post full log after uploading):

avrdude done.  Thank you.

It would be best if someone also could try to burn same bootloader on standalone Atmega328p and post results to be sure all wiring and steps I did is without mistakes.
Strange if I I burn 1.3pre2 8MHz bootloader - it works.

What troubleshooting I could make?

@tekka, Thanks for the link to the beta.4. bootloader. I have tried burning nodes using these and tested them by uploading the FW using MySController 1.0beta_b3316 (latest update meant for MySensors2.2.0) with SerialGatewaySketches using both MySensors2.2.0_rc1 and MySensrs2.2.0_pre1 libraries.

MysController doesn't seem to even recognize the Beta.4 bootloaded Nodes (Promini 5V16Mhz with default provided fuse settings from Makefile). The extra nRF chip wiring checks and precautions (0.01uF and 100uF Caps) have been taken. What might be the problem? How to debug when SerialMontitor cant be used? Any Network Sniffer link if that helps...

I guess the MySensors library version of the SerialGateway sketch may be posing a problem. Can you please help me with a link of the correct MySensors library version to use with beta.4 bootloaded nodes?

Any help will be appreciated...

Hi @tekka!
Do you plan to add support for the RFM69 module in MYSBootloader?

[vikasjee]

No help from the community! Sad!!!

[tekka]

@wanvo This would certainly be a great addition to MYSBootloader - but very limited dev time atm. Community contributions on that topic are welcome ;)

[tekka]

@vikasjee Apologies for the late reply - I have no idea what's the issue with your setup - my guess is that something is wrong with the fuses and/or wrong .hex used: Can you post the MYSController log, used fuse settings and any other important information?

[wanvo]

@tekka thanks for the answer. I'm still a newbie.
Now I can not make a contribution to the development due to my incompetence.
I can help as a tester :)

Hello, maybe someone was trying 8MHz bootloader for standlaone Atmega328p?

Hi,

Anyone seen this error on latest 1.3 release? It seems a define is not done for F_CPU, what am I missing here?

@cdr Same Problem here!

@cdr @Henry I ran into the same issue. Turned out to be a syntax issue in the boards.txt file. If you change:

MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL16.f_cpu=16000000L

into

MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL16.build.f_cpu=16000000L

Then it works again. Adding build. needs to be done for the other menu entries as well.

@tsjoender

PERFEKT!!! thx!!!

Fix: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsBootloaderRF24/pull/24
Thanks for reporting.

Hello,
I am currently testing the OTA features with a "My Slim 2AA Battery Node", MYSBootloader 1.3.0-rc.1, MYSController Build 3316 and the original example sketch "PassiveNode" (MySensors 2.2.0). Unfortunately, no reboot will be performed if I want to execute it via the MYSController. Even with a firmware update, no reboot is performed. If I disconnect the sensor from the battery and reconnect, the firmware update will be executed. Am I doing something wrong or is this a software bug?

Regards
Thomas

Try using smartsleep instead of usual sleep

[thm]

Hello, thank you. It basically works with smartSleep. I only have to press the FW update or reboot button several times. After several attempts, the desired action is then executed.

Hello.
First, thanks to everybody developing all the stuff that is here, these are awesome projects and sorry to resurrect an old thread.

Second, i am trying to use the firmware update feature from MYSController, build 3316, with MYSBootloader, 1.3.0-rc1 8MHz, on a barebone atmega 328pu 28dip .
The device is running a simple thermistor sketch and reports happily to my RPi running MySensors ethernet gateway version 2.3.1-alpha(I have tried with version 2.2.0 as well).
I get the "reboot" screen if i choose the firmware after setting the device as a "Board with MYSBootloader" and the device clearly reboots but does not start any firmware download.

And of course, i am running nrf24l01+. Device is batterypowered from an 18650 li-ion, through a mcp1700 LDO 3.3v 250mA. 10uF on the nrf between vcc and gnd.
Device is set to sleep for 60 secs, but is also set to smartsleep for 500ms, as i read somewhere had solved other peoples issues.

Edit: I believe i was being stupid as i first burned the bootloader using arduino as isp and then burned the sketch, alas, erasing bootloader.
