Node dont connect to RaspBerry gateway

[Jeff Willecke]

Try assigning a node ID. Sometimes controllers will provide an ID but the gateway will not. Currently it is using the ID of 255. I think the line of code to add to the sketch is

#define node_ID #

Where the # at the end is the number of your node. Any value between 1 and 254 should work.

@gohan hehe N00b misstake thougt --branch Master was referens that the rest downloaded master...have just started to try out git :)

OK got version 2.1.1 on place on Rpi deffined Node Id but still no luck connecting to Rpi GW :cry:

Going to replace radio and try again.

[gohan]

Double check node ID, I don't see it in node log

[keldandorin]

@gohan Changed radio on Rpi
and node log looks like this now, Forgot MY_ before node :smile:

@keldandorin Looks like I get som data to GW now but it dosent connect. Node has ID 3

[gohan]

Do you have cap on the radio?

[keldandorin]

@gohan yes

[keldandorin]

@keldandorin If I pars log from GW it says

Just like its acctualy responding to Node !
But the node dosent like the awnser

[keldandorin]

Hi guys, realy need som help here. Got my Rpi gateway up and running and logfile looks ok, see below.
have a working Node running with DTH22. (know its working sins its conenct to my Arduino GW)
Tryed to onfigured Node Id on node. Connecting to my RpiGW with MYScontroller and can see the gateway but no nodes connect.
Log on PRI looks like this

From my basic understanding it looks like the GW dont responding in the correct way or the node dont like the awnser. Anyone with more experince out there that can give me some ideas how to fix this.
Thx

[gohan]

The gateway is replying but node is not receiving. Where are you getting power for your nrf24 radio on the rpi? Are you using a capacitor ? size?

[keldandorin]

@gohan taking power from 3v3 pin number 1 an using capasitor that is 10uF

[gohan]

Other users reported a similar problem and they solved by using something like this (that's the one I have on my rpi) or any other similar voltage regulator + capacitor

[keldandorin]

@gohan had it running now for a cuple of hours and sudenly it registerd. No luck efter reboot though. Guess I have to order one of them Voltage regulators/capacitors....realy wish I hade one now in my Man Cave :joy:

[gohan]

I ordered them by mistake some time ago, but they turned out to be very useful 😂

[keldandorin]

@gohan had it running again for some time and at message1890739 It got connected again and seems to be able to send message to GW. But as you say its the GW sending part that dosent seems to work.

@gohan You think one of this could solv it to.

Using 5v as output insted and regulat it down to 3.3 v and capasitator on that.

Got them in local store :)

[gohan]

I suggested those modules because you can quickly swap the radio module, but that may work too. Pls post back your results
