im quite confuse, the voltage sensor read the voltage at solar or at the battery..??

@Faris-Sabri-II It reads the battery voltage.

by looking at the picture the voltage is measured near the battery, so I'd say it is the battery voltage

Hello all, many thanks to @AWI for this great sketch - it performs very well and is my 'go to' for a WS28XX interface with Mysensors and Openhab. I am however, starting to experience problems introduced with the FastLED 'wait' commands and the radio receiving a command - essentially, if I command the node to a pattern that is particularly blocking - I cant them command it to off, solid colour or another pattern. Anyone solved this problem - or able to point me in the direction of solving. I'd be happy to refresh the sketch and re-share.

The code I posted is the raw code for the zero-cross dimmer. When I had tried to merge the "dimmer with rotary encoder" sketch and the zero-cross code I had wired it up with the ZC pin as 2 and the PWM pin on 3. Encoder was wired: SW pin on 4, CLK pin on 5 and CE pin on 6. 7/8/A2 were used for status LED's. I was running it with an older NANO with the 328.

@acb said in nRF5 action!: As far as a step-by-step with actual example code, demo files, etc. I’m more than happy to do it but it’ll take me some time. And would be helped if you could specify a particular board you’d like me to target (especially if I have one lying around), e.g. Nordic’s nRF52840 Dongle, Ebyte module, etc? Yes to nRF52840. Dealer's choice as to which nRF52840 module--i.e. I'm neutral, so whatever is more convenient for you. I suppose for others reading this the dongle might be a good choice though. The other side of this is the FreeRTOS side. Would you like examples for the lowest possible power? Is FreeRTOS definitely required? I suppose I could live with it, but as a simple demo even just some simple code that did nothing more than blink an LED and which resided where the bootloader out to be and which got loaded automatically from protected memory on reset as though it were a real bootloader is sufficient. If I knew how to do that one small thing, then I presume I could extend it to be a real wireless bootloader instead of just an LED blinker. I'm just missing the info on how to put code into the privileged and normally protected bootloader location. I'm hoping it's actually pretty simple and straightforward and not something lengthy and complex like the way the Nordic SDK advocates doing it.

It's always nice to see what people can accomplish. It looks professional and I'm impressed with the battery lifetime. But if it's not open source and I can not create sensors / actuators with it myself. It's probably not something I will go for. In my country using 868Mhz is not available for use in home automation. You need to have a permit to transmit on that frequency. Since Ikea started to use Zigbee in their products, Zigbee technology became cheap and many devices are available (good reliable smoke detectors e.g.) also on Aliexpress. And it's easy to integrate in most home automation system. So to me if I can buy something that meets my requirements for cheap I'll go that route. As I already have a mash up of different technologies for my home automation I'm not really that keen on using yet another one. Right now I have Ikea Tradfri, RF, Zwave, Zigbee and MySensors. For that same reason I don't use Tasmato e.g. I use my sensors for all the things I create, which are things I can't buy or just don't provide the features I want. Or because I love the things other creators have made, like the sense bender and the mysensors gateway. I just think the mySensors audience is not the people that are looking for yet another product like the one in this post. Most build things like this themself. Not always because it's cheaper, but always because we can.

@fabyte said in A tiny BME node - BME280 on ATtiny85: (used 5V instead of 3.3V). Usually after doing that the radio still seems to work, but it's not reliable anymore and it is gobbling a lot of power. It is quite vicious as you think it is still working, but the sensor dies quickly...

Wow. Very cool! Now I'm thinking of some similar projects I need to do for Summer.

im quite confuse, the voltage sensor read the voltage at solar or at the battery..??
