💬 MySensors Gateway for Raspberry PI

[TriXwooD]

@gohan the spi0 and spi1 busses are two separate devices from the pi's perspective and the two MySensors gateways running*. So if v2 worked with a rfm69, and the v3 extra! wiring is good. (didn't check but 99.9999...%, even the logo is there :-).
Yes it will work. There is no conflict there.

• Is it possible to make it one gateway running on the pi for both chips?**

** How do I build a mysensor bridge between 433 and nrf24l01 nodes anyway? I can run domoticz on a pi to be the intermediate. But if I am not running a pi but an arduino gateway?

[TriXwooD]

But if someone could enlighten me why I could not use two nrf24l01 devices working on the same bus using the select... (spi0.0 and spi0.1 and using CS?/CE?) (it really seems that data from the two radio's got mangled together somehow, I notice that cuz sometimes it did work... probably when only one radio was sending)
I would me most gratefull :-)

Hello,
The v1 (without regulator) works for me with an rfm69, so the v2 must work, because is the same wiring. (I have to receive the pcb v2 these days)

TriXwood tested the operation of a second module nrf24l01 on the spi1
see https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7702/double-spi-radio-raspberry-pi

when I have time, I will test the rfm69 with nrf24l01.

[gohan]

I am hoping for the good test results as it would save me quite some wiring/mess for my dual network setup. Will it be able to run both NRF24 PA LNA and RFM69HW both at max power?

Very nice design ! I will buy a bunch of these.
I'm using a BMP180 on my raspberry now, that would be great to add an I2C port somewhere in a potential v5 :)

[qqlapraline]

I did a quick update of the PCB.
It's not perfect but it does fullfill my (selfish) needs ;)

QQ.

@llegoff nice board!!! I think 🤔 I am going to build this. However just wondering if this will support rfm69hcw?
Thanks

[gohan]

Why do you need to have it compatible with the C version?

[hiddenuser]

@gohan I have a lot c version with me :)

[gohan]

Are there any news on this project?

[pepson]

Hi
Can i replace AP1117 to AMS1117 ?

[pepson]

And we can use in one gateway radio RFM69HW and NRF24L01 ? And use node with radio 2,4GHz and node with RFM69HW ?

[gohan]

I have both radio modules working on my raspberry

[pepson]

Can you give me more info how configure it and build ?

[gohan]

Look on the link on the opening post

[pepson]

@gohan
You mean this
https://www.openhardware.io/view/470/MySensors-Gateway-for-Raspberry-PI

Install RFM69HW and then create the same for NRF24L01 on SPI1 ?

[llegoff]

hello,
i have update the description page (it is not automaticaly syncronize with my github page)

OK for AMS1117-3.3

[pepson]

What you update info ?

[llegoff]

edit file Makefile : replace the string mysgw by mysgwSecond (in nano use Ctrl + \ )

copy file initscripts/mysgw.systemd and initscripts/mysgwSecond.sysvinit to initscripts/mysgwSecond.systemd and initscripts/mysgwSecond.sysvinit

cp initscripts/mysgw.systemd initscripts/mysgwSecond.systemd
cp initscripts/mysgwSecond.sysvinit initscripts/mysgwSecond.sysvinit
edit file initscripts/mysgwSecond.systemd and initscripts/mysgwSecond.sysvinit : replace the string mysgw by mysgwSecond (in nano use Ctrl + \ ) and replace the string MySensors Gateway by MySensors Gateway 2

Wonderful project... I did re-create on Eagle. First radio (RFM) works very well. Second instance, I got a wonderful... "Can't open SPI device: /dev/spidev1.0". After editing the boot/config.txt, need to reboot? Thank you very much
