Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors
-
so from what I know.
you DONT need the MYSBootloader on the gateway. just normal arduino bootloader. you DO need the MYSBootloader on ALL the sensors you with to connect to your gateway.
Do the MYSBootloader first then use this tool to upload the firmware to your sensors OTA -
I think I have flashed MYSBootloader finaly, after ~6hours of trying and reading (persistent guy :) )
The instructions are for the older version I guess, right board should be copied from MYSController/bootloader/boards.txt, not from this topic post#75. Now I am trying to figure how to flash the sketch, but I guess that is explained somewhere on the topic@dakipro I use the settings mentioned in #75 in Atmel studio, however, AVRDUDE does not support the upper two bits of the lock fuse (therefore the error message 0xFF!=0x3F). Changing the lock bits to 0x3F should do the job.
And yes, as @p0lar pointed out, only the nodes and not the gateway should have MYSBootloader.
-
Aha, I get it now. Then I just flash MYSBootloader on the sensor, and attach the radio and it will automatically connect to the gateway (it has some sort of sketch/communication with MySensors built in)? And then I use the MYSController to upload my sketch as described?
Or how do I upload a initial sketch if I cannot use arduino anymore?
Btw, I love MYSController, i use it all the time in development as it shows all that is going on with the sensors, thank you very much for developing it!

correct. you build the .hex file in arduino studio or whatever and copy it to the MY gui firmware folder and edit the csv file and then reload.

This should help

I thinking I am build a DEBUG version of the GW code. but I dont think the logging is working in the app with my eth GW. am I mising something?
So. when I build a DEBUG version of the GW code I get this in the serial console hex size=29k so its bigger.

Still nothing in the MySensors Debug tab... and only the NON debug info in the log files. maybe this is a ethernet GW issue? So I get debug info in the Arduino Serial monitor but no debug via TCP?

@tekka : I tested the ID reassign by hardcoding the functionality in the serial gw sketch. Reboot node 6, wait for FW_CONFIG_REQUEST, answer with FW_CONFIG_RESPONSE.
Works as expected & described in the MYSBootloader code. Please give me some hint why MYSController does not send the FW_CONFIG_RESPONSE packet with the bootloader commands after the reboot.
I trigger the reassign via the node´s context menu in the gui, MYSBootloader Commands --> reassign ID. Anything wrong with that ?
Maybe someone else has an idea what is happening/not happening ? @tekka could you find something in the log file?
Thanks a lot...
-
Has anyone tested successfully reassigning the node-id with MYSBootloader 1.1 and MYSController 1.2.282 ? Would give me some new motivation to hear it's possible and has been done before. At the very moment I m at a dead end.
If it is not working for you, I would also appreciate your feedback. -
@tekka
Is the (dev branch) MQTTClientGateway supported by MYSController?I'm in the process of moving from Vera and Ethernet GW, to Openhab with MQTTClient gateway and would love to have the OTA functionality your bootloader and controller provides. I looked at this a while back, but ran out of time to play!
So yeah.. Can MYSController talk with the MQTTClientGateway ( over Ethernet) ?
Cheers,
Greg -
In answer to my own question... No..it doesnt seem to.. ;-(
I tried with the IP address of my MQTT client gateway board, and port 5003 ( same port that works for my 1.4 Ethernet GW )
It says it connects, but no data flows in....@tekka @hek - Is it unlikely that the MQTTClient Gateway will be usable with MYSController??
If not, would this work?
Have two networks -
1 for MYSController to perform OTA's using a serial gateway on the PC we typically do sketch changes on.2 for normal MySensors operation. When you want to invoke an update, you could send a I_REBOOT command ( MQTT message in my case), which would reboot the node and if i understand correctly, look for an update on the other network channel.
I guess you would loose all the other functionility of MYSController, but at least we could do OTA.

@gregl MYSController is currently not supporting MQTT, I'll add it to my feature request w/o ETA.
@tekka You might not have to. I've been working on Node-Red as a controller and more.
With my kit, you need Node-Red, node-red-contrib-mysensors , Mosquitto, and some of my flows which I have available ( http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2802/flow-to-turn-serialgateway-into-mqtt-serialgateway ).
And it makes this:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2815/flow-to-turn-serialgateway-with-mqtt-flow-to-ethernetgatewayThe only flaw is that when you first connect MYSController, you need to send a junk topic so that MYSController can receive data. It's a bug/peculiarity with Node-Red, but honestly not a big deal. I'm also working on how to fix even that.

First time i try OTA. Everything went well until fw update (Pro mini). It sends/recieve like 20-30 packages, and then ends. I need to reconnect Myscontroller and it will start to flow again. I can see there is requests from node on gw led, but nothing comes through in Myscontroller (.282). Using 2.0b ethernet gw. Its just like either GW stops sending to Myscontroller or Myscontroller doesnt accept it. Also getting in domoticz that "MySensors: Connection reset!" Do i need to disconnect Domoticz while I do updates?
Any clues?
Edit: Sorry, jepp - needs to disconnect Domoticz and it works... I bet its those new gateway pings from Domoticz killing it.
-
A quick one: How long does the OTA takes for Blink sketch?
I press update FW, it start rolling and the node changes status from "fw updating" to "booting" but then goes back to fw updating... have been going like this for a long time now (1000 packages sent/recieved).
Also - is it possible to upload via fdti with MYSBootloader or you need to use OTA?
Edit: somethings is not right, its rebooting or starting over again:
