    I use the same connections as for a TTN node.

    Board is Arduino Pro mini.

    10 NSS CS
    13 SCK
    11 MOSI
    12 MISO

    4 DI00
    5 DIO1

    And have in the sketch:

    #define MY_RFM95_CS_PIN 10 // NSS
    #define MY_RFM95_IRQ_PIN 4 // IRQ D100

      Yes I understand.
      I'm just checking the pin assignment of the node.
      How did you connect the Node to the RFM95?

      I used this configure command:

      ./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.1.101 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-rfm95-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-rfm95-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway-rfm95 --my-transport=rfm95 --my-leds-err-pin=12 --my-leds-rx-pin=16 --my-leds-tx-pin=18
      

      For the wiring, I used the instructions for rfm69 on the raspberry pi gateway page.

          My gateway will work, I think.

          Pity,

          I am using an Arduino Pro mini.
          I can make a node with esp8266.
          But I can not do that today, I think I have time for it tomorrow.

            @micropet no rush, you've had to wait a long time to get any help :wink:
            Just post here when/if you have some news. If you are unable to find an esp I can probably find a Pro Mini and build a node.

              Have a node with a NodeMCU built.
              Does not work either.
              At the gateway comes nothing.
              Since I must look further.

                A Node with a Pro mini or a Teensy would help me more.

                All my RFM69 Nodes have a Pro mini (50 pcs)
                The TTN Nodes a Pro mini or a Teensy. (Approx. 20 pieces)

                  Now I do not understand anything anymore.

                  I have made an update on the RPI and compiled the gateway software again.
                  I had already done more than 10 times.
                  After the start of the RPI nothing worked.
                  Multiple resets of the NodeMCU also brought nothing.

                  I pulled the micro usb plug and plugged again - suddenly it works. WAU

                  Then I must have a fault in the wiring between the RFM95 and the Arduino Pro.
                    Just for info: I had set up 5 pieces. All do not work.

                    Hi,

                    I have connected my Arduino Pro Nodes. They do not work.
                    The ESP Node has been running since last night without problems.

                    Can you try an Arduino?

                      @micropet great work. I should be able to set up an Arduino node tomorrow. The forecast shows rain anyway :)

                        Fine.

                        I'm just trying a Teensy LC Node.
                        See you tomorrow.

                        Here in Essen, Germany, it should also rain. :)

                          The Teensy LC also works.

                          So the problem is the Arduino Pro mini.

                            @micropet I'm unfortunately not able to reproduce the problem. This is the output of my Pro Mini 3.3V node:

                              Hi,

                              Thank you.
                              Now it works.

                              The trick is D100 must be on pin 2.

                              I try to make the pin assignments the same for all nodes (STM32, Arduino Pro, Teensy LC Tennsy 3.1 / 3.6, ESP8266).

                              D100 I had put on pin 6 and
                              #define MY_RFM95_IRQ_PIN 6
                              In the sketch.

                              That was the mistake with the Arduino.
                              On all other platforms it works.
                               
                              Many Thanks. I had already given up.

                                @micropet great that you were able to isolate the problem. Thanks for the cooperation during troubleshooting.

                                In case you didn't already know, only pin 2 and 3 on Pro Mini can be used for hardware interrupts. See https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardProMini for details.

                                  I thank you. Now I have come a whole lot further.

                                  I know that only the pins 2 and 3 are IRQ capable.

                                  I thought I would have read that the IRQ is not used, but the pin is only polled.

                                  This is how it is done with the LMIC Lib at The Things Network.

                                  I have still determined when I use the following at the Arduino:
                                  #define MY_RFM95_RST_PIN 4
                                  The Arduino does not send anything.
                                  It works with Teensy or ESP.

                                  The sleep mode with the teensy does also not always work.
                                  Sometimes he freezes.

                                  I will continue tomorrow....
