Barometric Pressure Sensor Using MS5637
-
Did you try something like this:
void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); delay(1000); Serial.println("Serial begin "); gw.beginEdit: newermind, I don't think you can get anything from the section before setup()
-
maybe i missed it, but did you have a sketch that worked (with the appropriate libraries) at least outputting the sensor data to the serial monitor?
If you have that, post it. It will be easy to add to that the 'stuff' you need for MySensors, I believe.
-
Yes, I have that. It is just a really a really basic sketch that prints the sensor data to a serial output. I am also very interested in the weather forecast part of the MySensors sketch which is why I was trying to mod it.
#include <Wire.h>
#include <BaroSensor.h>void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
BaroSensor.begin();
}void loop()
{
if(!BaroSensor.isOK()) {
Serial.print("Sensor not Found/OK. Error: ");
Serial.println(BaroSensor.getError());
BaroSensor.begin(); // Try to reinitialise the sensor if we can
}
else {
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.println(BaroSensor.getTemperature());
Serial.print("Pressure: ");
Serial.println(BaroSensor.getPressure());
}
delay(1000);

put some delays in here... especially if you do not have the caps on the radio!!!
BaroSensor.begin(); // Register sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices) gw.sendSketchInfo("Pressure Sensor", "1.0"); delay(250); gw.present(BARO_CHILD, S_BARO); delay(250); gw.present(TEMP_CHILD, S_TEMP); delay(250); metric = gw.getConfig().isMetric;if that isn't enough, you can try to add a little more time to the delays....
-
Tried delays right up to 5000 and also added a few others but unfortunately it still only presents the repeater node to Vera
Try deleting the devices it created and starting over. Give it a new device number and try it without it being a repeating node:
change:
gw.begin();to:
gw.begin(NULL, DEVICE_ID, false);where you defined (added) in the header of the sketch:
#define DEVICE_ID 10or some other number that is non-zero and not greater than 254
-
By adding those changes it went back to not outputting to the serial interface. I was able to get it to output again by removing the DEFINE DEVICE ID and the DEVICE ID section (not sure why that made a difference) but then it goes back to only adding a node to Vera.
Really appreciate your determination to solve this and I am learning lots along the way!

you mind posting the code you tried last?
Can you confirm that you have deleted the Vera devices that were created (I believe you said it was a relay)

I have deleted the Vera devices and I have also tried removing and re-adding the MySensors plugin in Vera. When I add the pressure sensor now it still adds as a node. Code is below:

Try this, and tell me what the serial output looks like.
Have you added a capacitor to the radio? It could be electronic...

The Sensor and Ethernet gateway both have 4.7uf electrolytic capacitors across the power input of the radio's (I cant get much distance out of them, maybe <10 metres, but they do work for the relay sensor).
The serial output looks like this: ��Ah���Y5���������� i��`q!���J�����

Great, now just plug the loop() back into the sketch, flash your arduino, and you should be good to go
oh... and add a Serial.begin(yourDesiredBaudRate) to setup() ;)

Ok, so close! Adding back the rest I get and endless string of � in the serial monitor and nothing adds to Vera.

}hard to read your code like that...
indent your code 4 spaces or put it between three ` [backwards apostrophe just left of the 1 on your keyboard]
are you sure your serial monitor is set to the correct speed?
I'd leave compilable alone until you get the devices set up... you didn't delete the vera devices after you got them set with the correct device number before, right?
-
I did delete it but understand now why I shouldn't have. I will re-add it (different device id) and let you know. It may take a little while as I am waiting for some radios with external antennas and an finding in the meantime that my radio reception is too limited to proceed.
