NRF24L01+ problems in 2.1.1 and 2.2.0 Beta
-
@gohan Now I have tried compiling it with one line command but the GW still don't start with 2.1.1
./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003mysgw: Starting gateway... mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.1 mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.1 mysgw: TSM:INIT mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0 mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL mysgw: TSM:FAIL:CNT=1 mysgw: TSM:FAIL:PDT -
@miljume I see alternating !TSM:INIT:TSP Fail and TSM:INIT:TSP OK in your logs.
The fails indicate a failure to communicate with the radio module.
Is there a pattern in these fails between software versions?@Yveaux The FAIL´s all occur with 2.1.1 and the OK is with 2.2.0 Beta. Same radio connections for both so the FAIL´s should not be connected to communication with the radio module. I have also tried 3 radios and 2 different ways of connecting them (Shield and Dupont cables) Even if 2.2.0 starts OK the problem is that it for the Ethernet GW it fails to connect

Did you check if spi is enabled in configuration? Sorry for stupid questions, but I need to broaden the search for the issue
@gohan, I can only speak for me but I have done the following on my RPi 2 B:
Changed out radios
Used shield for radio or just straight wiring to radio
New flash of latest minimal Raspbian
Enabled SPIAnd various combinations of those. Maybe something broke in an update to Raspbian or some other change to the mysensors repo?

With 2.1.1 I have the exact same problems.
However, everything seems to be fine with 2.2.0 Beta:
git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch development cd MySensors ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 --my-rf24-pa-level=RF24_PA_MAX makeIn domoticz:
The result:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw -d mysgw: Starting gateway... mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0-beta mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGL---,VER=2.2.0-beta mysgw: TSF:LRT:OK mysgw: TSM:INIT mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0 mysgw: TSM:INIT:TSP OK mysgw: TSM:INIT:GW MODE mysgw: TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0 mysgw: MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED mysgw: Listening for connections on 0.0.0.0:5003 mysgw: MCO:BGN:STP mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1 mysgw: TSF:MSG:READ,2-2-0,s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0:24.0 mysgw: TSF:MSG:READ,2-2-0,s=2,c=1,t=1,pt=2,l=2,sg=0:58After success with 2.2.0 Beta I tried to go back to 2.1.1. However, it still does not work.
I am on rpi3 and use a socket adapter board for the radio.

So, I did a lot of re-configuring and using 2.2.0 beta when a node sends a value payload (in my case a temp/humidity/battery value I get this while running my RPi ethernet gateway in debug:
mysgw: TSF:MSG:READ,3-3-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0: mysgw: TSF:MSG:BC mysgw: TSF:MSG:FPAR REQ,ID=3 mysgw: TSF:CKU:OK,FCTRL mysgw: TSF:MSG:GWL OK mysgw: !TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-3-3,s=255,c=3,t=8,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:0 mysgw: TSF:MSG:READ,3-3-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0: mysgw: TSF:MSG:BC mysgw: TSF:MSG:FPAR REQ,ID=3 mysgw: TSF:CKU:OK,FCTRL mysgw: TSF:MSG:GWL OKThis continues until I kill the process. In the middle of all of these error messages though, it also reports client PING events:
mysgw: Client 0: 0;0;3;0;18;PINGOther interesting items of note:
Domoticz says the values for temp have not been updated for 3+ hours for that node.
Domoticz says that node only has a temp sensor.
MYSController reports it having 2 sensors (temp and humidity) and it reports the values when i would expect them to be sent (ie, not 3+ hours old but updated continuously when temp changes).I am at my wits end here.

This is getting odder and odder.
I am running 2.2.1 beta on my RPi2B. It is running on channel 76, with power max, and using ethernet gateway config.
I have MYSController running on separate laptop and it is seeing updates to temp/hum and/or battery level. However, neither Domoticz or OpenHab2 have seen a change since last night at 9pm.In Domoticz - Setup - Hardware - Mysensors 2.2.0 Gateway it shows 2 nodes. First node is the gateway, of course, and the second is the sensor node. The data and the last seen times are correct! But, the Domoticz - Setup - Device list only shows the Temp sesnor and a last seen date of last night at 9pm. There are not other mysensors devices available.
So, what is different between MYSControler and Domoticz and OpenHab? -
NACK on the gateway usually means that the radio module is not powered correctly or there is a range issue (or you didn't set max tx power on the gateway)
-
Do you have capacitors on the radio modules? If you move the node closer to the gateway (3/4 meters apart) , does it work better?
@gohan Yes, capacitors on both the node(s) and the gateway radios. Moving the nodes closer to gateway has no affect. The gateway is sending out udpates (per MYSControler at least) but Domoticz sees no new devices and OpenHab has not seen an update either. So frustrating.
-
Try to stop the gateway and run it with debug from console and c'è if you see any NACK occurring, also on the node if you can, because probably the controller is not accepting messages with NACK. If you can, try to make another arduino based gateway and see if you still get same errors. Keep in mind that if radio modules are not genuine you have to consider they are the cause of your problems.

@gohan unable to run my node in debug with radio attached at the moment (no 3.3v FTDI or mosfets available right now).
But, that being said - the MYSControler does get the updated values. Just not Domoticz or OpenHab. So, why does one client connecting to the gateway get data while the other two do not? -
@gohan Yea, I have one on order taking the slow boat from China. But, it bothers me that MYSControler "gets" the sensor node values and the other controlers do not. Same IP config. And the weird NACK errors. Something just seems screwy as this hardware was working up until about 3 months ago - no changes made.

I have now purchased an extra Raspberry Pi to test the raspberry pi gw.
2.1.1 fails with the most basic configure (without any parameters) while the same wiring and configure command works for development (I used commit 901258f16598)
git checkout 2.1.1 ./configure ... make ... sudo ./bin/mysgw -d mysgw: Starting gateway... mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.1 mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.1 mysgw: TSM:INIT mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0 mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL mysgw: TSM:FAIL:CNT=1 mysgw: TSM:FAIL:PDT git checkout development ./configure ... make ... mysgw: Starting gateway... mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0-beta mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGL---,VER=2.2.0-beta mysgw: TSF:LRT:OK mysgw: TSM:INIT mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0 mysgw: TSM:INIT:TSP OK mysgw: TSM:INIT:GW MODE mysgw: TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0 mysgw: MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED mysgw: Listening for connections on 0.0.0.0:5003 mysgw: MCO:BGN:STP mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1I'm not sure how to proceed though. Is there anything you want me to try?
