RS485 FOTW! (Firmware over the wire)

Re: OTA Programming over wire ? (RS-485)

I can confirm this can be done. I had all sorts of trouble with compiling bootloaders and ended up using the precompiled sensebender micro bootloader (which uses pin 8 for CS (SS) activation of SPI memory). The way around this for now was moving the rs485 to the hardware serial port and disabling all debug output. I went with a 3.3 Arduino Pro Mini and level shifter for the MAX485 module (thats all i have here). I've done 3 firmware updates over the wire using MYSController and so far am impressed with the results. I would like to compile a new DualOptiboot and move the SS pin but can't seem to make this happen.

Very messy breadboard, but just for an idea.

Hi PJR, now it is working with this code in the MyTransportRS485 without any changes on MySensors.h: #if defined(MY_RS485_SWSERIAL) SoftwareSerial& _dev = MY_RS485_SWSERIAL; #elif defined(__linux__) SerialPort _dev = SerialPort(MY_RS485_HWSERIAL); #elif defined(MY_RS485_HWSERIAL) HardwareSerial& _dev = MY_RS485_HWSERIAL; #else AltSoftSerial _dev; #endif As far as I can interpret the peace of code, the #include "hal/transport/MyTransportRS485.cpp" is active as soon as the MY_RS485 layer is defined. This is a great step, I can use all my nodes from now on! Thank you very much for your support! By Kduino

@kimot No, it is an obvious mistake, I am very sorry. Maybe it is becouse the code in master branch is very old, the newest is not yet on github, but the developement branch is quite new. I am going to fix this soon.

Hi @mariuszjozala , Thank you for reporting back. Glad that it works now! In my eyes, the good documentation (and availability of LTS options) is one of the really big plus points of the NanoPi/FriendlyARM products. I did save a local copy of their wiki, just in case it ever disappeared, because these references are really helpful. Best regards pragtich

@kimot in theory you might be right, but in practice... it just works. The propability of collisions is extremely low and this is, as far as I know, the only problem you can worry about. After all, it was not my idea to use MySensors with RS485: https://www.mysensors.org/build/rs485

By the way I have done this with the icsc lib from majenko, if anyone is interested. The rs485 input is directly sent via udp and v v. Additionally I extended the icsc with an ack funtionality to keep track on lost messages on the bus. It runs currently with 57600 baud.

@openhardware-io Hi: (Please direct to Feanor-Anglin if possible) I previously ordered some 4RelayDIN PCBs off openhardware.io and got v1.6 PCBs but the info on the site I found is only for an earlier version of the PCB board. I am trying to build some of the boards but there are additional compomemts on the newer PCB board. The main one which looks to be a driver IC. Would you please share the updated information with me or perhaps update the openhardware.io site. Many thanks, Rod

@YuryPol as far as I know, all licenses require some form of documentation. In all cases I know of, this is documented with the license or on the licenses official site.
