Sensor node can't find gateway



  • Hello,

    I'm trying to setup a mysensors serial gateway following the instructions. The only modifications for both (gateway and node) I added '#define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_LOW'
    Gateway is on Arduino Uno (chinese clone) on COM7
    Node is on Arduino Uno (official version) on COM5
    Distance between the 2 in debug : 0.5m. I also tried 3m between when the gateway was connected to RPI3+ (with domoticz)

    I already tried adding a capacitor on the NRF24L01+ (chinese clones)
    Didn't find any marks which is pin 1, but supposed that these are the same
    Connnected to the 3.3V of the Arduino Uno (on both)
    I don't know what capabilities difference (marked bold) in the log means, maybe hint to problem.
    Below snippets from the IDE-monitor

    You forgot the MY_NODE_ID in the node sketch



  • I added the value MY_NODE_ID but did not change anything in the communication.

    While searching how debug further I stumble upon this article.
    https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/878/no-debug-data-from-sensors-or-gateway-bad-radios
    I looked up my order @ wish : https://www.wish.com/product/56c3769856871e13cc67d9b5

    My radios are NRF24L01 not NRF24L01+
    Are these also useable or not?

    If you see

    1635 TSF:MSG:SEND,255-255-255-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:

    It is broadcasting searching for gateway to assign an ID.

    Can you post your sketch?



  • Except the node-id (1) , nothing changed in the logfile

    • The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
    • repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
    • network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

  • All solved with the correct modules. NRF24L01+ instead of NRF24L01
