Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

[Samuel235]

@petewill - You are correct regarding no usb/ftdi uploads. Everything has to be done OTA. I'm using a standard arduino bootloader at the moment, attempting to troubleshoot ftdi with that :).

[petewill]

@samuel235 are you using a Windows PC to upload your sketches? FTDI recently released drivers that stops FTDI clones from working with the new drivers. This happened to me and my errors looked very similar. The solution for me was to uninstall the drivers and re-install the older ones. I got the info from this post: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/microcontrollers/ftdi-gate-2-0/msg854401/#msg854401

Also, I had to log in to my computer as an admin to make all these changes. For some reason using a standard account then typing in an admin password at the UAC prompt did not help. Maybe it was a coincidence but tried many times and only after doing it in admin context did I get it to work. Also, make sure you turn off Windows update for drivers. Let me know if you get stuck and I'll do my best to help.

@petewill - I am using a windows system. I was reading about this new driver release the other day and didn't think anything of it. I didn't realize that it could apply to myself when I was reading it.

Just out of curiosity, what does your FTDI converter come under in device manager, i always thought it was supposed to be a USB device, mine comes directly under Ports (COM & LPT). I know its obviously a port, I just for some reason thought it should be under Universal Serial Bus controller?

Just to let you know, windows hasn't automatically updated my drivers. I'm still on the search for an older version.

@samuel235 I changed the view like this:

Then it shows like this:

I am using version 2.8.30.0 and I downloaded them from the FTDI site.

[Samuel235]

@petewill, what device/converter are you using for FTDI uploads?

[petewill]

@samuel235 I'm using a Windows 8.1 PC with the Arduino 1.6.6 IDE. My FTDI adapter looks like this:

[Samuel235]

@petewill - Right okay, well my adapter is slightly different in the sense that it is all in one with a USB 2.0 adapter on the end of the board rather than a USB MiniB that you run a cable to the USB port on the PC. But apart from that the chip on-board is pretty much standard i think, from what i have found out on the internet anyway. Just for reference, this is what mine is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161791651010?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT.

However, when purchasing some Arduino Mini Pros, i have gotten another. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161795041342?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. We will see if they're both the same functionality when it arrives.

[petewill]

@samuel235 A quick way to test if it's your adapter or the drivers is to plug it in to a Mac or a Linux computer and try to upload from there.

[Samuel235]

@petewill - As soon as my Mini Pros arrive I will start to troubleshoot this with more depth. Thank you :)

@Anticimex Can you please share the Nodes Code?

[Anticimex]

@vikasjee not straight away as it contain pushbullet secrets so I need to launder it a bit first. And I have also changed it around in quite a bit and have added some experimental debugging facilities that don't really work so are you sure you still want it? :) if it is the multi controller support you are after it should still be a valid reference.

Here is my current nodeconfig:

You will need @tbowmo's mysensors node-red plugin for this flow. And be aware that the debug log management in this flow is NOT working as it is really supposed to.

To create the socat pipes I use a number of shell scripts of this form executed as root:

#!/bin/bash
while sleep 1; do
        socat PTY,link=/dev/ttyVera,mode=666,group=dialout,raw TCP-LISTEN:5003,reuseaddr
done

Typically, you can invoke such a script using

sudo ./socat_vera.sh &

which would let the script execute in the background. The while loop make sure the pipe stays available even if there is nothing connected to it.

For sure there are a lot of different things about this that can be improved and optimized, but that is what I am currently using in my testing environment.

Ditto on the "very very cool" I looking for a app I could actually see what my sensor builds were doing. Prefect!
Thanks

hi again, I noticed that domoticz would lose connection to the Gateway when I would ask one of the nodes to restart. Is that expected behavior?
For example when I want to introduce a new node/code to domoticz, the moment I hit reboot on some node domoticz would report that it has lost TCP connection with the gateway and it would wait 30s or something and then reconnect to the gateway, which is ok to restart but it will then miss the introduction/presentation data sent by the sensor. This is one of the coolest features of MysController, to update and reset remote nodes, without the need to reopen all the nodes and hitting reset or removing the battery etc.
Anyone noticing this, is there some workaround for this?

Hi tekka,

I have tested MYSController, and it was a massive success ! thanks a lot for your work.

I have just one question, in the csv file there is a type.
According to my reading this is to tag a node type, but where are the already known types ?
Type 1 => only temperature
Type 2 => only humidity
Type 3 => temp & hum
etc
Is there another config file where to specify user types ?

Type,Name,Version,File,Comments
10,Blink,1,Blink.hex,blinking example
20,TimeReporter,1,TimeReporter.hex,TimeReporter
100,Sensebender Micro,1,SensebenderMicro.cpp.hex,Sensebender Micro
110,Sensebender Blink,1,SensebenderBlink.cpp.hex,Sensebender Blink

@hek - would it be possible to get a subforum for MYSController stood up in the Controllers forum? This thread is getting pretty long and off topic (also, the RSS feed stops at the 27th post)

[hek]

I'll have a talk with @tekka about it. But you always have the optaion to start a new thread.

[tekka]

@DomoJimbo No, you are free to choose the node types. This information is used for OTA FW updates.

[ThomasDr]

Hello,

for Linux, it works with wine, with TCP and serial.

@tekka

I'Ve done the steps witch you describe but it doesn't show up in the ArduinoIDE.
Step 1, added the lines to boards.txt
Step 2, made a directory \MySensors under
D:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\bootloaders
Step 3, copied the .hex file into D:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\bootloaders\MySensors

What did i do wrong???
