Cannot run MySensors on RPI 3
-
Hello all,
I have been reading and trying for 3 days now without success and simply do not know what to do anymore. I do not know what the problem is. Maybe I am misunderstanding the whole concept of MySensors? Anyways, let me explain.
My main issue seems to be not able to run the gateway.
The way I understand it, is that I can use the RPI 3 as both gateway and run a controller on it at the same time (in this case MyController).
I followed the instructions on the MySensor's RPI page. Here is what I did:
- Connected the NRF24L01+ to RPI3's pins (I triple-checked that all wires are correct)
- I then entered the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch master cd MySensors ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 ./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=[IP-OF-MY-RPI] --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1 make sudo ./bin/mysgw -dBut I get the following error message:
pi@rpi-lite:~/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw -d mysgw: Starting gateway... mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.1 mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.1 mysgw: TSM:INIT mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0 mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL mysgw: TSM:FAIL:CNT=1 mysgw: TSM:FAIL:PDT mysgw: TSM:FAIL:RE-INIT mysgw: TSM:INIT mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL mysgw: TSM:FAIL:CNT=2 mysgw: TSM:FAIL:PDT ^Cmysgw: Received SIGINTSo already here I am stuck...
Then I tried to use a WeMos D1 Mini connected to an NRF24 to create a gateway. I used all default settings to upload the sketch (which I got from Examples > MySensor > GatewayESP8266MQTTClient.
I made sure to add the correct IP for my WeMos in the sketch under
#define MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS 192, 168, 178, 68But when adding it to MyController.org's gateways the status is "unavailable"...
What am I doing wrong?
Ideally, I would wish the NRF24 to be hooked up to my RPI.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance :)

@kkanedaa welcome to the MySensors community! Sorry for your troubles.
All parameters to the ./configure command need to be entered on one line, like this:
./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=[IP-OF-MY-RPI] --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1In your case it doesn't matter, because nrf24 is the default choice anyway. But it might be good to know if you change to another configuration later :)
This part of the log:
mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAILindicates that the gateway software is unable to talk to the radio module. Since you've already triple-checked the wiring, maybe you could upload pictures of the wiring, to get a fresh pair of eyes on it?
If you have another nrf24 radio module, it could be good to replace the one you are using, to rule out that there is something wrong with the nrf24 module. Or try the radio module on another device (your wemos d1 mini for example) to verify that it works there.
Did the make command produce any warnings? If it did, those could be needing attention.

Hi thanks for the quick reply.
I checked the NRF24 module by communicating with each other and it works fine...so I don't think the problem is with the module.
I attached 2 photos of my wiring of the NRF with my Pi so you can have a look.
As for error messages while "make" - none.

Would you know what I am doing wrong? :(
I really want to get this to work.
Thanks again in advance.

Would you know what I am doing wrong? :(
I really want to get this to work.
Thanks again in advance.
@kkanedaa it looks like the "adapter board" you're using for the nrf24 has got an LDO on it. Is that the case? If so, is 3.3V sufficient for it? If you used it when you checked that the nrf24 works then it should be fine. But just to try to eliminate possible problem sources, how about connecting the nrf24 directly to the raspberry pi?
It is recommended to place the capacitor as close to vcc/gnd on the nrf24 as possible. I see on the picture that it is placed at the input to the adapter board.

I dont know if it's important, but your configure didn't detect the BCM chip for SPI?
Did you enable SPI via raspi-config (or /boot/config.txt) ? -

Hi there, thanks again for the reply :)
I have removed the baseboard and attached the wires directly to the NRF24. I also moved the capacitor to Pi's VCC and GND.

As for the baseboard, if you are wondering, the layout looks like this. I always used it in all my NRF projects and never seemed to have a problem.

I will try to get MySensors running now once again and let you guys know the results. Hope it will work this time...
-
@mfalkvidd Should I try to use the dev version? Also, should I "format" my SD card with a fresh install of Raspbian Stretch Lite?
Do you think this might help?
Also, it does not matter if my Pi runs the controller and MySensors at the same time, right?

Download the development version of MySensors and try that. I could not get MySensors to work on a RPI 3 with the 2.1.1 version.
-
There is a note in the raspberry page to use development version. BTW, did you connect the 5v pin to the nrf24 module? It seems so from the picture and if it's the case, say bye-bye to it. Also the capacitor it is better to be closer to the radio module and not on the raspberry gpio

Nope, it's connected to 3.3V. Regarding the capacitor, I had it first near the NRF24, but mfalkvidd told me to move it.
But thank you for your inputs, guys. I'll try the dev version and hope it will work.

Hey all,
So I removed the stable version of MySensors and got the development version.
Let me show you step by step what I did:
sudo rm -r MySensors git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch development cd MySensors ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=[MY-PI-IP] --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1 make sudo ./bin/mysgw -d[MY-PI-IP] has been changed to my RPI's IP.
The output I got first is this:

All help is very much appreciated :)

I struggled with RPi gateway for ages without success. The easiest solution by far is to run the gateway on arduino and interface it to RPI through a serial gateway. Its not a very elegant solution but works. I did some investigation and came to the conclusion that the problem with RPi gateway is to do with the low level library that communicates with the radio but never found a fix.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
If you are telling me that you have had the same issues as me, I am willing to do your method. True, not an elegant solution but I just want it to get up and running...
When you say "run the gateway on arduino and interface it to RPI through a serial gateway", do you mean you built a serial gateway as mentioned here: https://www.mysensors.org/build/serial_gateway and then with an USB cable you connect it directly to your RPI? Am I understanding this correct?
If yes, could you please tell me which parameters you have used while building your MySensors on your RPI. Would this be correct:
./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGatewayDid you leave the value for --my-serial-pty was shown above? Did you add any other parameters?
Sorry for asking so many questions but I cannot fully grasp the concept of MySensors without MQTT.
I appreciate your response and thank you in advance :)

I've been running the Ethernet gateway (port 5003) on my raspi without issues for several months now.
@kkanedaa It looks like the development version finally works with your nrf module. Regarding the MQTT connection refused: Are you sure your MQTT broker does not need a username and password?
