[SOLVED] OH2 - Mosquito - Raspi Mysensors Gateway

[narf]

i found the board but i don't get how to load the sketch ON the board :/
first thought was to c&p the code from https://github.com/mysensors/SensebenderMicro/tree/master/Arduino/SensebenderMicro

fatal error: SI7021.h: No such file or directory

second thought was to look for an example sketch. no luck.

i have other radios. but i'd really love to upload the (right) sketch first... just... how?

@hek said in [SOLVED] OH2 - Mosquito - Raspi Mysensors Gateway:

Did you decoupling capacitor on gateway? Do you have more radios to test with in the case one is broken?

did i what exactly?
all i can say that i wired the gateway with one of the specified NRF24L01+ Radios.
Same radio on sensebender.

you need to install library for SI7021

took libraries from here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples
will investigate further.

i think i got the sensor up and running and it can't find a gateway?

debug

[gohan]

In Arduino ide open library manager and search for that library or manually download it and choose to install new library as zip file.
For debug you posted it looks the node it is missing the node ID

[narf]

ok, thought this would be auto assigned: "Define a static node address, remove if you want auto address assignment"
new debug: everything ok with this sensor?
debug

Next Stop Gateway? Should i just try another radio?

[gohan]

Auto assign works if everything else is working and you have a controller that is able to assign node id.
Now it seems there is no communication with gateway: do you also have a log for the gateway? Did you put capacitors on the vcc/gnd on both gateway and node? Keep in mind that RPI is not very suited to power the nrf24 radio.

[narf]

the gateway "log" is some posts above.

should i provide another log?

i didn't use any capacitors, neither gateway, nor node.
here isn't anything regarding capacitors.
and [here](lhttps://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry under section "NRF24L01+ Radio" it only says "If you are using the nrf24 PA/LNA version you need to use a 5V->3.3V regulator.", but i'm using these so i thought it's ok without using regulators.
or is a regulator something different than a capacitor?

[gohan]

Voltage regulator is OK but you need a capacitor 4.7uF or bigger on vcc/gnd of radio module. Those modules are probably the same as I bought 4 months ago and they are cheap clones and don't have good range but they work with the proper capacitor.

[narf]

okay :(
i'll take a look around, hopefully i can get a few somewhere.
does the log indicate that there's a problem with radio? (length?)

[gohan]

I bought the adapters for nrf24 on gearbest, they have ams1117 regulator and capacitor. Very easy to use.
