Can you mix RFM69 and RFM69H in one network?

[Omemanti]

Hi,

I'm busy with the RFM69's atm.
I got a serial gateway with a regular RFM69 and a node with RFM69. Both are working with eachother.

I also got a ESP8266 gateway with RFM69H (wasnt paying attention while soldering) but the RFM69 node isn't connecting to this gateway.

Might the "H" be the problem?

@Omemanti H has more output power, which means it will need a more powerful and stable power supply. Except that, with and without H are the same.

Oke, thnx!

Then I need to search somewhere else.
It says that my radio is oke, so I guess the wiring was right..
Ill connect an extra power supply then! maybe that works.

@Omemanti you'll need to uncomment this line for the RFM69H:

#define MY_IS_RFM69HW // Mandatory if you radio module is the high power version (RFM69HW and RFM69HCW), Comment it if it's not the case

I'm using Moteino's with and without H in the same network without issues.

Now I'm trying to get into mysensors but I'm running into a lot of issues:

• Node MCU with RFM69 keeps crashing after flasing it with the Gateway sketch
• Flashing the same node with a blink script works but when I reset it or flash any larger sketch to it, it is running the old gateway sketch!
• Can't seem to get a simple arduino pro mini to run with the RFM69

I'd like to create a network of ESP8266 (Node MCU) + RFM69 MQTT gateway and Arduino Pro Mini + RMF69 nodes (and repeaters)

Any tips how you got the ESP8266 or the Pro Mini working are welcome?

@mpp best way would probably be to start a new thread describing what you have done, what you expected to happen and what happened instead. Also see https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/ for troubleshooting recommendations.

@mpp
Try reverting to MySensors 2.0.0 and update AVR to 1.6.18. made my node al lot more stable.
