[solved] RPI Gateway with RFM95 does not receive any nodes

micropet

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?

mfalkvidd

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

micropet

Fine.

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

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

micropet

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.

mfalkvidd

@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.

micropet

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....
