Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

[Anticimex]

@tekka Would it be possible in a future version to have the controller save the detected network nodes? Right know, I have to re-present the nodes in order for them to appear properly in the tree every time MYSController is restarted since it starts up with an empty tree.

Hi @tekka , I've gone through the steps in your guide using MQTTGateway as gw sketch.
When I start my new node (burned with mysbootloader) I only see the repeating message "FIND_PARENT" in MySensor Debug window and "RX 0;0;3;0;9;read: 0-0-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:" in the MYSController Debug window.
The message appears every time the led is blinking on the node (approx every 2 seconds).

Any idea why it doesn't request node id? Have also tried with AutoID without success.

Thx!

@Anticimex is implemented in the upcoming release :)

@rubal MYSController does not support MQTT gw. Please use a different controller or change to a serial/tcp gw.

[Anticimex]

@tekka sweet! Any ETA on the next release?

[tekka]

@Anticimex wanna beta-test? ;)

[Anticimex]

@tekka for sure :)

I changed the channel in the mysensors config.h to 77, this was the reason no node would ever show up since the default mysbootloader uses the default channel 76.

I think I am running into the same thing. How did you fix this? I have many nodes so switching back to 76 is not a good option for me.

You can edit myconfig.h and have te recompile after change.

@cdr I've never recompiled a bootloader before but when I did some searching it seems that I need the .c file to do this. Maybe I'm missing something and I can recompile the .hex? How did you end up doing it? Thanks!

[petewill]

I did some more testing and my issue definitely appears to be a result of changing the channel in MyConfig.h. I just built a serial gateway with channel 76 selected and everything worked perfectly. The only problem is I have over 20 nodes located throughout my house so re-uploading the code so they use that channel is not something I'd like to do if I can avoid it. Does anyone know how I can recompile the bootloader so I can change the channel?

I tried the files @siklosi posted here http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2319/how-to-make-complie-mysbootloader/7 but it did not work.

[niccodemi]

in firmware_config.csv file what is the first column "type" for? And where do I get "type" codes?

[tekka]

@niccodemi type can be any numeric value used to identify a specific firmware type - this value (together with FW version and the FW CRC) is used to automatically update the nodes.

@petewill did you have any success finding out how to change default channel?

I recently switch to RFM69 and I know it's not yet compatible with MYSBootloader. But I can't find information about RFM69 and dualoptiboot support for OTA in MYSController (without a sensebender). Is it possible ? I have to make special config ? Thank !

[Anticimex]

@Fabien DualOptiboot is completely radio agnostic. You should not need any custom config to use OTA with DualOptiboot and rfm69. You do need an external flash on your board though.

[Fabien]

@Anticimex ok but in MYSController is there a way in the GUI for setting the bootloader (DualOptiboot or MYSBootloader) or is ti automatic. I ask this because you have to tell MYSBootloader your are running SenseBender (DualOptiboot).

[tekka]

@Fabien yes, select "sensebender"...this will do the trick

[Fabien]

Thank you @tekka I don't test your new bootloader beacuse I think you don't have RFM69 version (perhaps in th future ?)
