RFM69 new driver delay

mickecarlsson

OK,
Here goes what I have:
Arduino Pro Mini, chinese clones. Regulator and led removed. Soldered on EasyPCB rev 9.
Radio is RFM69 868 MHz with helicoil antenna on the nodes, 86 mm antenna on the Gateway
Bootloader is from https://github.com/MCUdude/MiniCore
The bootloader settings are:
Board: ATmega328
Bootloader: Yes
Variant: 328P / 328PA
BOD: 1.8v
Clock: 1MHz internal
Compiler LTO: Disabled (default)

On the EasyPCB I have only soldered the radio, the antenna and the Arduino. No booster, no capacitors, no resistors.
I have put a link on the REG and run the node on two AA batteries.
The nodes only have one sensor, the BME280.

The controller I use is Domoticz, latest version (I think).

I have now reprogrammed some of the nodes to 2.30 and I use NEW_DRIVER.
Gateway - 2.3.0
Patio - 2.3.0
Test-node - 2.3.0
Kitchen - 2.3.0
Bedroom - 2.3.0
UV and LUX - 2.3.0

No problems at all.
However, I do not use the receive() function on my nodes.
And I see that you use the REPEATER setting, if your node can reach the gateway the disable repeater.

@mickecarlsson

Tell me for what you change bootloader ? And i also have clone chine arduino pro mini... I also must change bootloader on this Arduino Pro Mini CLONE CHINA ? Because i dont change bootloader after buy...

And if you can show also your antenna...and where you buy this antenna ? I try found on Aliexpres but not found.

And I see that you use the REPEATER setting, if your node can reach the gateway the disable repeater.
But i can not use REPEATER function to to increase the range from the gate - something like the MESH network ?

And is any chance to you test my SKETCH with relay on your arduino ?

mickecarlsson

You don't ned to change bootloader, I do because I run on battery and it fits my need.
I can't test your sketch as I don't have the necessary hardware to test it.
How far apart are your nodes?
My antenna is from AliExpress

@mickecarlsson
Now my node is very near my Gateway about 6meters. Because now i project my automation in my new home.

But if you only have Arduino Pro Mini with Radio RFM69HW you can test my sketch. I think that you dont need 2xrelay to test it... Please...

But for what is function REPEATER ? To increase range from Gateway to very far node ? Then the node with the repeater function extends the range?

When come back to home i try build node without option REPEATER and try run this...

Also can you give on priv info how upload this bootloader ? I can only write by ArduinoIDE or i must do other actions ?

mickecarlsson

You only need repeater fi you have a node far away that can’t reach the gateway, then you add repeater on a node nearer the gateway.
See here: MySensors Network
And if the node has repeater defined it must allways have power and no Sleep.
Sorry, I can’t test the sketch.

@mickecarlsson
Can you share me your all sketches ? Thanks
And tell me how you have connected Gateway to RPI3? By ethernet or by serial ? Because i see in your building Gateway that you dont use parameter ETHERNET on port 5003

And anybody has any contact to developer @tekka007 ?

This is info what show in debug on version 2.3.0 gateway and also node on version 2.3.0

@mickecarlsson I done next test.
Updated my Gateway on RPI3 to 2.3.0
Then also update my nodes to 2.3.0
One node which i use is to control Switch Relay. It works ok also with Repeater function and also without Repeater function.
Second node is to control cover by relay. It no working correct also with Reapeater and also without Repeater function. Status is not update in the same time. Sometimes no respod reaction on click button.

Below i see SWITCH releay SKETCH and also to Cover.
Please help me.
Also i need help to convert this sketch for Switch 1xRelay to Switch 2x Releay. ANybody can help me. ?

Finally
In my opinion on MySensors 2.2.0 all my sketches (switch relay and cover ) works better. With no problem. NO PROBLEM.
Cover works perfect and switch works perfect without any timeout and delay. ANd all node works without REPEATER.
My opinion is that in version 2.3.0 something not working correct with radio RFM69HW.
Maybe for sensors which send data from time to time is ok , but for cover which transfer data when cover is roll, it is problem... and gateway can not recived all data when node send position cover. Maybe developer read this thread and can do any changes to correct it.

@mickecarlsson

ANd tell me how you connect Gateway to your Domoticz Controller ? What path to usb or serial you setup in Domoticz ?

Like I said, we will take a look as soon as we get time. For the moment, busy (at least on my side). And we're a few, using rfm69.
So if 2.2 fixes your issue, it can be a good idea.

pepson

@scalz

Ok thanks. WAiting for info... and good info for me will be that problem with RFM69HW on version 2.3.0 will be resolve and i can update to this version. Now i must come back to version 2.2.0

gohan

If you don't need specific features in 2.3, then stick to 2.2 that works well.

RFM69W / HW user here. I can confirm that V 2.3.0 on both nodes and PI has some broken. My nodes, stable for 3+ months, with new version they have issues. In detail, they cannot get ACK. In my sketch, I check for ACK when transmitting, to force the watchdog or no. NO ACK received (1 every 20/30) :(

And my nodes are "perfect". LifePo4 or AA, someone feeded directly, RPI3 with 2.5a... And I repeat, no issues in 3+ months from switching from NRF to RFM.

mickecarlsson

This is my generic temperature/humidity/battery level sketch that I use. I have upgraded all my nodes and gateway to 2.3.0 yesterday and I don't have any issue whatsoever :-)

@pepson said in RFM69 new driver delay:

And tell me how you have connected Gateway to RPI3? By ethernet or by serial ? Because i see in your building Gateway that you dont use parameter ETHERNET on port 5003

I use Ethernet to connect to my Domoticz.
The reason that you don't see my configuration for ETHERNET or PORT is because they are default when you configure.
If you look at the file Makefile.inc you will see the build options. In my case the file looks like this:

SOC=BCM2837
CPPFLAGS=-march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard -DMY_RADIO_RFM69 -DMY_RFM69_NEW_DRIVER -DMY_GATEWAY_LINUX -DMY_DEBUG -DLINUX_SPI_BCM -DLINUX_ARCH_RASPBERRYPI -DMY_RFM69_FREQUENCY=RFM69_868MHZ -DMY_IS_RFM69HW

PREFIX=/usr/local
CC=gcc
CXX=g++
BUILDDIR=build
BINDIR=bin
GATEWAY_DIR=/usr/local/bin
INIT_SYSTEM=systemd

So in my case I have these defines:
MY_RADIO_RFM69
MY_RFM69_NEW_DRIVER
MY_GATEWAY_LINUX
MY_DEBUG
LINUX_SPI_BCM
LINUX_ARCH_RASPBERRYPI
MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY=RFM69_868MHZ
MY_IS_RFM69HW

@mickecarlsson
You dont have issue becuase temp/hum send data from time to time every defined time.
My sketch with relay also looks that works ok.
But problem is on sketch with relay to control covers. WHen cover roll node send still data and it is problem...
This is my opinion.

@pepson
just to know, when you get this issue, do you send to one shutter only? (because i see you're sending each %, each 200ms). Well we have already did a stress test in the past, one packet each 50-70ms with a dozen of nodes and it worked but that was with a local unoffcial lib, and not with rpi as gw.
I don't remember if buffer has been implemented in regular branch, for rfm69 (but I think so). And it should work like you said it works with 2.2
We'll be able retry some stress tests, unfortunately not on rpi as gw (not using this setup), I'm not sure but maybe only marceloaqno may be using rpi with rfm69 (not sure), and we're a very few rfm69 users. Let us check if it's a general problem or rpi as gw only.
Sorry for disturbance ;)
