If I understand OTA well with an MQTT gateway it is not possible. This at least using MYSBootloader

[Mikhail72]

Hello, in one of the devices on mega2560 I want to use MYSBootloader for FOTA. Is this even possible for mega2560?
I changed the MYSBootloader sources for mega2560, the update is on, but it is looping (i.e. it reaches 100% and starts again), I think that the problem is in calculating the CRC of the firmware and I need to fix the static uint16_t calcCRCrom (const uint16_t len) function, but I have lack of knowledge, as I'm not a programmer, but just an amateur. Can someone help or suggest?

P.S. Sorry for my english, it's all google translate

Hi, have been using myscontroller more than a year now and at some point i couldn't use OTA on devices, all the sensor data is coming in nicely. I don't know if it was due to updated arduino or i messed up something in my doards.txt or something else...
So question is if someone can give me versions/links to working solution?
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsBootloaderRF24/tree/development doesn't work.

I'm using ProMini 16Mhz with external oscillator. Arduino is 1.8.13, MySensors 2.2.2,
Myscontroller 1.0.0beta:b3316.

@iguaan "doesn't work" is a bit too vague for us to help. Could you share a bit information on what you did, what you expected to happen and what happened instead?

[iguaan]

That's the problem, i don't know what exactly happened/caused this. That's why i'm asking for working solutions/versions so i can try to trace back what might be wrong with my setup.

Also now i remembered that i had to renew gateway with esp8266 since previous broke down. I don't know for sure that i had previously ota feature for gateway enabled.

I remember when i got it first working year(s) ago i tried also different bootloaders, fiddled with fuse settings and eventually got it working perfectly, but now (since i've updated arduino) maybe my board settings are incorrect.

[iguaan]

Well found the problem.
I had also changed gw nrf module to NRF24L01+PA+LNA 2.4GHz:
and it seems to be the issue.
Although regular traffic monitoring etc is working ok.
Changed back to usual nrf24l01+ module and updates are working again.
Both variants are ali merchandise.

@iguaan Try to set MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL to RF24_PA_MIN on gateway then use NRF24L01+PA+LNA module - in my case the OTA begin work perfect!

Well finally got time to try it out and it worked like a charm, thank you!
Also no problem with a node that is about 1,5m away from GW.
LOW also worked, but OTA was slow.

Hello,
I've been coming to this forum for a long time, and this is my first time posting.
I have a node, that has a DFPLAYER (mp3) and it works with the stock arduino (nano) bootloader. When I burn MYSBootloader 1.3.0, the node continuously restarts every 20 seconds. It stops at "Enable to begin" and restarts.
The library I use for the DFplayer is "SoftwareSerial". The problem would not come from there?

@Trand Do you mean that it stops at "Unable to begin"?? I don't see "Enable" in there.

If it's "Unable" then I would suspect that you don't have it wired up correctly. Are you sure about the RX_PIN and TX_PIN? If it were me, I would double check them again. And then swap them in the code after double checking them, just in case.

If there's absolutely no doubt that you have the correct wires connected, do you also have a ground wire connected between the Arduino and the DFplayer? Finally, are you sure that 9600 is a good speed to communicate with the DFplayer? (I have no experience with this module, so these are just general troubleshooting ideas.)

[Trand]

@ejlane Thank you for your answer. I don't think I have any connection problem, it's soldered on a PCB and it works with the original NANO Bootloader. The speed 9600 is the one given in the example of the library, and I think that the problem comes from SoftwarSerial... I continue to search.

[ejlane]

@Trand Well, sorry, but nothing else comes to mind. If you have a scope or logic analyzer then you need to watch the actual signals on the wires and see what is happening.

If you don't, then you should pick up a cheap logic analyzer. You can get one for $10 and it's invaluable for tracking down things like this. I don't know where you are based, but I see them on Aliexpress all the time.
