ATTiny85 as a RepeaterNode-just a repeater, no sensors



  • Experts,
    I have range issues, so I want to use a few ATTiny85s I have to be repeaters.

    from the distro:

    #define MY_RADIO_NRF24
    #define MY_REPEATER_FEATURE
    #include <MySensors.h>
    
    void setup(){}
    
    void presentation()
    {
    	sendSketchInfo("Repeater Node", "1.0");
    }
    
    void loop(){}
    

    This appears to be what is needed. Serial is not applicable on stock 85. But burning with 'Arduino as ISP', a TON of compile errors pull up, pointing to internal/lib code. They start like:

    exit status 1
    Error compiling for board ATtiny25/45/85.
    

    This looks a lot like something basic, and not like anything is broken (to me).

    If you want the entire ugly STDOUT/ERR, I uploaded to pastebin here.

    If folks are using ATTiny85 for sensors, then surely I should be able to make it a simple repeater, no? (please say yes!)

    TIA
    🙂
