Sleep function breaks code

[martins]

Re: [ Door](Window and Push-button Sensor)

As soon as I use the sleep function with this door-sensor-code it breaks it. Works awhile and then gone.

sleep(PRIMARY_BUTTON_PIN-2, CHANGE, 0);

Serial output:
!TSM:UPL FAIL, SNP
TSM:FPAR
TSP:MSG:SEND 2-2-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=bc:
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR

And there it dies ! Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Martin

@martins which Arduino are you using? Which pin are you using? Which sketch are you using? (I am unable to find a sketch that references PRIMARY_BUTTON_PIN, searched through the code for the library and the MySensorsArduinoExamples reporistory). How are you powering the sensor?

There have been some threads about problems with CHANGE:

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/5807/interrupt-and-sleep/

Thanks. I'm trying these 2 but both givers the same results:

@mfalkvidd

It's almost as if the RFM69 radio is not transmitting anymore:
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR
!TSP:SEND:TNR

What does TNR mean ? Transmitter Not Ready ? I looked through the serial API but can't find any reference. Neither in the sensor API nor library API. Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Martin

[DavidZH]

first of all you should change the delay(2000) right after the sleep to wait(2000). Effect is exactly the same, but this will not stop your Arduino from doing anything. For the rest I'm not sure why the communication between your Arduino and radio stops. TNR is indeed "Transport not ready"...

[martins]

OK it's working. Main fix I think is I used the new 2.1.1 library and all comms to the RFM69 radio seems to be fixed.
