Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

[Fabien]

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

[tekka]

@Fabien perhaps, will have to get some RFM69 hardware first...

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

Sorry, don't know how I missed this. No, I haven't. I got sidetracked (kids) and I haven't had a chance to work on it further.

@niccodemi I just was able to upload the bootloader using the files provided by @siklosi posted here http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2319/how-to-make-complie-mysbootloader/7. The difference is I used a USBASP (V2.0) instead of an UNO. It worked the first time uploading the blink sketch!! It was a pain getting the USBASP to work on Windows 8.1 but after I got the driver installed (and the wiring connections correct) it worked great. I haven't uploaded any sensor sketches yet but hopefully I'll have time to play with it soon.

@petewill thanks, I tried ch77 and it works great.

Hi, download link for MYSController is broken. Error on attempt to download. thank you

[tekka]

@balloonguy Not on my side. Please try again.

@tekka thanks for the quick response - i have tried the {http://goo.gl/9DCWNo} with no luck, all i get is a "this page is not available" message. I have tried with different browsers and different pc's - still the same response.
BTW- Merry Christmas.

@balloonguy just tried this link. Everything is working, MYSController.zip file with md5 checksum dfe98f9e7ed6e1c3d5c418a862c23ee0 is downloaded.

Hi @tekka

When editing/adding items to the firmware_config.csv file, what should go in the types column? Could you please explain it?

Thanks,

The type field is intended for defining a FW type, e.g. a node with a DHT humidity/temperature sensor may be FW type 1, whereas a node with a different sensor FW type 2 and so on...

Now that I have sensors that have the correct bootloader I have been able to upload firmware a few times. But now that I have made changed to the sketch and copied the new hex file over I even bumped the version tag in the file. I can't get it to flash. Nothing I do makes it upload the new code? Thoughts?

[niccodemi]

@p0lar are you still able to remotely reboot node?

[tekka]

@p0lar Please provide MYSController log with DEBUG enabled for further troubleshooting.

[p0lar]

Yes I can reboot the node. trying to upload dallastemp to it.

@p0lar I do not see any DEBUG nor bootloader messages. Can you update the GW sketch with DEBUG enabled? Also, what bootloader did you flash?

[p0lar]

Its turned on in MySensors.h and reuploaded

MyConfig.h

[p0lar]

But i dont see anything. UNO ethernet GW with SoftSPI enabled

[p0lar]

Bootloader on the sensors is the one from your firmware directory. on the GW its the standard arduino one... do I need yours on the GW?

[tekka]

@p0lar No, GW should have normal (i.e. Arduino) bootloader. However, without DEBUG output it's gonna be hard to diagnose what's wrong - can you double-check your settings and re-upload the GW sketch just to be on the safe side.
Also, I'd like to see the log during a manual reset (not remote reboot) of your node.
