Problem Connecting to gateway

[Jaime Machado]

Hi I'm new to arduino world.
I'm really impressed by the library but for some reason i cannot connect my sensor to the gateway.

I'm using a ESP8266 connected to a NRF42 radio as a gateway. All my libraries are fully updated. I connected a 22uF capacitor to the power suply of the NRF24.
Im using a external lab power supply to power for circuits.

The sensor is a Arduino nano conected to a NRF24 radio. 22uF capacitor contected to the radio power supply. Powered by external supply.

Welcome to MySensors! Sounds like you are making great strides already. Usually the gateway is connected to an HA controller that is responsible for vending IDs to nodes during the inclusion/pairing process. In your case, if you are using a stand-alone gateway and node, then you will need to statically define the node id in the node sketch. The node id needs to be unique to each node and ranges from 1 to 254 (note, you can also have up to 254 child sensors per node).

Try setting the following in the top of your node sketch before the MySensors.h include.

#define MY_NODE_ID 1

#include <MySensors.h>

Whenever I need to statically set a node id, I usually do so at the very top of the sketch so it is clear when you open the sketch that the node id is statically defined.

Finally, did you know that you can post code blocks using ``` before and after the code to make it more legible? That is what I used above.

Thanks blacey for the quick response.
I actually was runing a controller on my pc but for some reason assign a ID for the nodes is not working for me.

I tried running it on Domoticz and also using MYSController 1.0.0beta.

I was able to get a conection when i set

#define MY_NODE_ID 10
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC

But without this is, it was impossible to get a connection impossible.

Would know what my problem might be?

Best Regards,

Jaime

@Jaime-Machado
you use gateway for parent ! the node id 0 is for gateway usually.use default sketch for gateway is site
also use a 100uf capacitor and use this in sketchs(gateway and nodes)

#define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_HIGH

also use an other parent for repeater if long distance
