Code for beta-testing?

[wannabee]

@andriej Yes, tested that, Even if the python gw handles to assign RAIDO_ID. Also cleared the EEPROM to be sure it didn't conflict between the versions. The interesting part is that it doens't even write to the serial line. Time to sleep and see if I cand find a few hours on Wednesday to get it working again.

Try comment this line: metric = gw.isMetricSystem();

Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch.

We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)

[andriej]

@jka I can't (or I don't know how) to compile the 1.4-dev code. I've tried everything I guess.

OK, there where a few glitches in the Makefile, you can update it now.

I seem to have new problem then, guess it's with g++?

also changed the Data Rate = 1MBPS on arduino to match the RPI preet

any ideas?

thanx a mil

You are experiencing the problem @jka describes above. When the message header bitfield is packed (by the compiler) if differs on the Arduino and RPI which result in garbled header and CRC-check-errors.

We have to introduce our own bit manupilation when adding/extracting stuff from the (bit-field)-header to overcome this cross platform problems.

[Bmlsx]

@hek ooooooh, I thought it was already done in the 1.4 branch... Silly me.

Thanx

[hek]

You could do like @jka did and modify header to only use full bytes for all fields temporarily (on the sensor side as well). This way you will be able to communicate until we fix the problem properly.

[Bmlsx]

please excuse the frivolity

u mean like this both on arduino and Pi?

// The message structure
typedef struct {
unsigned char crc; // uint8_t crc; // 8 bits crc
unsigned char version; // (3 bits) protocol version
unsigned char binary; // (1 bit). Data is binary and should be encoded when sent to sensor net gateway
unsigned char from; // 8 bits. RadioId of sender node
unsigned char to; // 8 bits. RadioId of destination node
unsigned char last; // 8 bits. RadioId of last node this message passed
unsigned char childId; // 8 bits. Up to MAX_CHILD_DEVICES child sensors per radioId
unsigned char messageType; // (4 bits). Type of message. See messageType
unsigned char type; // 8 bits. variableType or deviceType depending on messageType
} header_s;

[hek]

@Bmlsx
Yes. :)

[wannabee]

@andriej and @jendrush, I commited some code to my repository for the python gateway with half (oneway) Domoticz integration. It also support Openhab, The Openhab integarion is what I think I will integarate for my self and continue to develop. Domoticz needs provide a proper API that I can use without spending a lot of time trying to figure out how it works. My code is at https://github.com/wbcode/ham. You can try it out if you want. The installation part and configuration is missing a lot of instructions.

Will create my own thread for my gateway code when I have a name for it and I have spent the time to do a proper update to the wiki and better a presenation on what you cand do.

Please note that iit's not a full replacment for a Vera and it's my first time codeing python...

hi there,

nagging time ...did all that (unsigned char on both ends arduino and rpi) but all i get in my rpi is below

any ideas?!!

Hi there again

A quick question @jka I used the 1.4 branch on both arduino and rpi and all I get o rpi are messed up messages with crc errors, can u point me a direction on what I do wrong?

Thanx
G

[Bmlsx]

Can anyone pls help on this ...I'm about to eat the raspberry

[hek]

Sorry, I don't know why you are experiencing problem. We will soon have a look at the RPI stuff again and make a usable version.
The last week all our mysensors-time has been spend on server infrastructure (prod/stage environment etc) to prepare for the new services.
Getting this right took more time that we initially anticipated.

In the meantime. Anyone having a good low footprint node-database-candidate for storing sensor data in the RPI?
The purpose is having a local backup of all historic data and to keep a record of which data has been sent to cloud-service.
There won't be much local querying, mostly storing.

Right now I'm considering:
NeDB/NEDBLogger (https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb)
Levelup/Leveldb (https://github.com/rvagg/node-levelup)

[ToSa]

The "Message crc error." is a bit misleading. The code in the validate() routine actually checks the crc as well as the protocol version. Looking at the Arduino and the RPi 1.4 branch the versions don't match. I've adjusted the library and protocol version in the Sensor.h file on the Rpi to:

LIBRARY_VERSION "1.4"
PROTOCOL_VERSION 2

and the crc error disappeared.

While changing the data rate from 2M to 1M in line 30 of the Arduino Sensor.cpp, I had to fix a syntax error to recompile successfully in line 361: a missing "}" to close the do/while. The full line should be "} while (--retry);"

With these two fixed the RPi and the Arduino now communicate - but I get a lot of "Send failed" messages on the Arduino and a lot of "Error looking up radioIds" on the RPi now:

RPi output:
Received: from=255, to=0, childId=255, mtype=4, type=5, crc=139, ''
139, 2, 0, 255, 0, 255, 255, 4, 5
Message crc ok.
header.type=5, header.to=0, radioId=0
Got message
Message type: 4
msgTypeId=4 int=4
Error looking up radioIds
...and so on...

Changing the mongo database URL in the dbDetails,js file
from:
mongodb://mysensors:27017/pi
to:
mongodb://localhost:27017/mysensors

fixed the "Error looking up radioIdo" issue on the RPi. Now the Rpi generates a new radioId but the attempt to send this to the Arduino fails:
