💬 Building a Orange Pi Gateway

[SdeWeb]

@Reza
after "chmoded" the file you don't need anymore chmod command, run directly ./configure .

Regards

[Reza]

@SdeWeb thank you . this is ok

[Reza]

can i add this lines ? for orangepi ?

#define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_MAX
#define MY_RF24_CHANNEL 0

but after add i have problem :

@Reza

Are you sure your git environment is okay?
Maybe do a fresh git pull for mysensors?
See the howto on the orangePI page just follow from the start.... I have serious questions that your env is correct since configure was not executable....

[Reza]

@Tag i use same files that use for raspberry. for raspberry worked. is this different between mysensors for raspberry and orange? i must download again ?

[SdeWeb]

@Reza <- Yes do all the procedure from the beginning :

https://www.mysensors.org/build/orange

[Tag]

@Reza
You must use the OrangePI instructions, these are different conmpared to the RaspberryPI instructions
Thx SdeWeb!, same toughts!! :)

[Reza]

@SdeWeb i do all steps that is orangepi page. but just i dont run this :

git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git

and copy this files from flash memory . is this incorrect ?

[SdeWeb]

@Reza Bad idea :-( , wich OS are you using on your Orange PI ?

[Tag]

@Reza
I got this working like a charm on armbian( Debian Jessie) https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/

But you need to follow ALL steps........

Which OrangePI board do you use?

[Reza]

@SdeWeb
armbian for orangepi one
now i add this line :
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24

so i think ok but :

@Reza

Seems you are not able to communicate with your radio..... you need to figure out which GPIO pins you need to use, and which SPI channel.....

The steps from the OrangePI page are based on the OrangePI zero model

[SdeWeb]

@Reza
Your GW is OK, so exit debug mode by use Ctrl + C command, then follow the end of the procedure to install and auto start GW services.

Regards.

[Reza]

@Tag i am using similar to zero . i dont know how configure GPIO for orange pi one :(

i thought orange one is similar to zero for configure....

[Reza]

@SdeWeb so now my problem is related to GPIO and configure this ? can you help me that how i can configure this ?

[Tag]

@Reza

I do not have the OPI One HW available..... so that will be a problem.
you need to start reading the OPI documentation, and see if the pinout you are using is correct, I know for example that OPI Zero used the SPI1 channel since SPI0 is used for the NAND flash. now it might be that the OPI One does not have the NAND flash so you can use the SPI0 channel.

Try to start here

or here

If you read carefully you will see that pin 19-21-23 are on the opi ONE SPI0, and on the OPI Zero SPI1.....

This is the OPI Zero page: http://linux-sunxi.org/Orange_Pi_Zero#Orientation_of_the_GPIO_header

ANd the OPI One page:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Orange_Pi_One#Orientation_of_the_GPIO_header

@marceloaqno helped build this for the OPI Zero.... and SPI was an important part to get this working...

Try this:

./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=2 --my-rf24-cs-pin=3

worth a try if you use SPI0, and GPIO3 for the CE pin (on the ONE the ce SPI0 pin is 3 according to the wiki page)

[Reza]

@Tag thank you. but i can not setup this . very complicated :) perhaps @marceloaqno can setup this.
thank you

[Reza]

@Tag

GPIO3 is pin 15? so change wiring? CE to pin15 ?

[Tag]

@Reza

Can imagine that it is complicated, assuming you used the OPI zero pinout, try the configure example from my previous post. might work.

Another option you have is get an arduino with the radio attached and just plug it into usb, your messages will appear on i.e /dev/ttyUSB0

[Tag]

@Reza

try this:

./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=2 --my-rf24-cs-pin=3

See this page for your header pinout: http://linux-sunxi.org/Orange_Pi_One#Orientation_of_the_GPIO_header

the --my-rf24-cs-pin= is key to have it right on your system
