[Newbie] Need help with !TSM:ID:FAIL



  • Hello,
    I started experimenting my sensor, and I'm blocked to a specific point with some questions.

    My setup:
    Gateway: An NodeMcu with Nrf4 module with PA + 330uF cap on 3.3v and option RF24_PA_MIN set to avoid power issue.

    Sensor: An arduino nano + Nrf4 module with PA + HC-SR04 + 330uF cap on 3.3v + regulator board for Nrf4 and option RF24_PA_MIN set to avoid power issue.

    I'm using mysensors 2.2 and with RF24_PA_MIN I can now receive/send message to gateway.

    Here are the logs on the sensor:

    16 MCO:BGN:INIT NODE,CP=RNNNA---,VER=2.2.0
    25 TSM:INIT
    26 TSF:WUR:MS=0
    33 TSM:INIT:TSP OK

    10093 TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
    10095 TSM:FAIL:DIS
    10097 TSF:TDI:TSL
    

    And the gateway part:

    1140857 TSF:MSG:BC
    1140877 TSF:MSG:FPAR REQ,ID=255
    1140911 TSF:PNG:SEND,TO=0

    1140958 TSF:MSG:GWL OK
    1141264 TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-255-255,s=255,c=3,t=8,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:0
    1142805 TSF:MSG:READ,255-255-0,s=217,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
    1144816 TSF:MSG:READ,255-255-0,s=181,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
    1146826 TSF:MSG:READ,255-255-0,s=144,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
    1148837 TSF:MSG:READ,255-255-0,s=107,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
    1160862 TSF:MSG:READ,255-255-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
    

    So now I'm blocked with some ID issue.
    I don't know how to decode logs.
    I tried https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs/group__MyTransportgrp.html
    and the Log parser without success.

    1/What line should I feed the Log Parser with? Do I have enabled too much log (time data on first parameter???)
    2/Can someone explain better how to analyze debug output?
    3/I suspect an issue with sensor ID registration,
    Do I need to register my sensor to the gateway? If yes, how should I do this. I don't want to install a button yet, is it possible to pre register my slave sensor?
    (or auto register option?)
    4/When does the sensor enter the main loop and display distance? Once my sensor protocol is all OK?
    5/Is there a more general doc on how the protocol work, I must admit I'm a bit lost trying to find the good doc 😕
    6/I've seen in the forum some are defining:

    // Define Node ID
    #define MY_NODE_ID 10
    #define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0
    #define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC
    

    On my sketch I got
    #define CHILD_ID 1

    Should I set MY_NODE_ID and MY_PARENT_ID?
    Are they usefull at all, how do they compare to CHILD_ID?

    Thanks for any directions 🙂 !


  • Mod

    You need to define the my node ID, child ID is only used to identify each sensor.



  • @gohan , Thks works better now.
    Why someone would use CHILD_ID different than NODE_ID?
    I mean if NODE_ID is needed, for what CHILD_ID is used for?

    Thks!


  • Mod

    @nekopep a sensor node can report multiple data. Example: temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. Child id is used to differentiate between the different data.



  • @mfalkvidd ha thanks, I've found one of your forum post where you discuss about a code you did, and I now better understand CHILD_ID.
    Everything working perfectly now, thanks a lot!
