So should i be able to delete the hardware folder that the development version created from github and just update from boards manager?.

If this don't work, remove all folder created by hardware and boards manager, close Arduino IDE and reinstall it via Boards Manager.

Hi, I don't us nrf52 yet but as i'm a platformio supporter, There is a new release for nrf52 platform with initial arduino framework support ! Good news, i think I will test nrf52 in few weeks.
https://github.com/platformio/platform-nordicnrf52/releases/tag/v1.2.0

@d00616 said in 💬 MySensors NRF5 Platform:

I2C should be fixed now. Version 0.4.0 is released!

To help clarify for others who are reading this: the Arduino IDE board manager let me upgrade to 0.4.0 from 0.3.0 by just clicking on the board entry "Nordic Semiconductor NRF5 Boards by Sandeep Mistry", selecting the 0.4.0 version, and then clicking Install.

1. I have updated the radio driver with fixes for some hardware errata.
2. I have updated the https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoHwNRF5 with an enhanced definition format. File name and contents are changed! The board description is compatible with the NRF5 variant provided by Arduino, but it's not possible to use this variant at the moment.

Where do we find the update? i.e. is it baked into the regular MySensors development code thread, or is it elsewhere?

[NeverDie]

I'm guessing it's this one? https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoHwNRF5

I refreshed all the libraries. I'm able to compile and upload my sketches, but now it complains a lot about "invalid libraries."

At the moment, I cannot reproduce this with Linux and Arduino 1.8.2. I try to find out what's wrong.

Can you try to remove the .ci and .mystools folders?

Done. So, here it is now:

BTW, I'm using the Windows version of Arduino IDE 1.8.5, which is the most current.

I don't know the correct path on an Windows system. On my system the Sketches are in the ~/Arduino folder in my home directory (~). The arduino-nrf5 is in ~/.arduino15/packages/sandeepmistry/hardware/nRF5/0.4.0 and the ArduinoHwNRF5 files are in ~/.arduino15/packages/MySensors/hardware/nRF5/0.2.1

[mfalkvidd]

on my Windows machine, all boards are located in c:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages
Strange that they've been installed to C:\Users\David\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ on your machine.

Maybe just delete the folders and re-install using the board manager?

[NeverDie]

@mfalkvidd All I know is that if I put a library in the folder: C:\Users\David\Documents\Arduino\libraries
it always gets detected and used. It also means you can completely uninstall/re-install the arduino IDE, and nothing gets lost. I'm not sure about other locations.

Am I the only one doing it this way?

[mfalkvidd]

@NeverDie for libraries, doing what you do should result in the same behavior as when using the Library Manager.
But I'm not sure it works with boards (especially given that the Arduino IDE complains when you put boards in the libraries folder).

[NeverDie]

I use the board manager to manage the boards. I believe it connects directly into github.

Anyhow, I stripped out all the non-library stuff, and now Windows IDE works without complaining.

[NeverDie]

Has anyone here yet figured out how to have more than one type of interrupt at a time wake-up the MCU from sleep? Based on the examples so far, it seems as though only one type at a time can be active. I'm sure there must be some way to do it. For instance, it would be desirable if the MCU could wake up not just from a timer event every, say, 5 minutes, to take a temperature reading, but also immediately if there is a leak detected. Right now it's just one or the other.

[rmtucker]

@NeverDie

So we can not use the normal statement

int8_t sleep(int interrupt, int mode, unsigned long ms=0);

I did not realize that was the case as i have never tried it.

[NeverDie]

I believe hwSleep(..) is the preferred incantation, but beyond that I'm not sure of anything. Maybe @d00616 can comment?

I should be receiving a number of different PCB projects tomorrow for final assembly and test, and if I can't resolve this soon, I'm simply going to release them without full demo code.

In MySensors, the regular way to use sleep mode is by using the sleep() functions:
https://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_20#sleeping

But like you said, you can also use the raw hwSleep() from the hw abstraction layer. Or you could also rewrite it!
Which means at each abstraction layer, there are additional logics. sleep() functions have more logics (regarding MySensors states and features) than the raw hwSleep for example (like testing if there is an ongoing ota, smartsleep, heartbeat etc..). I have nodes where i use raw or not, but it's good to know what's behind.
