Raspberry Gateway and first sensor HC-SR04
-
Hi all, I am a complete newbie and this is my first try in the smart home area. My goal is to have a few sensors and actors around the house, a raspberry gateway and iobroker as controller.
So I build the gateway on the raspberry 1 and connected a NRF24L01+ to it. The software build without errors and starting it seems to be successfull. Next I took a arduino uno and connected a HC-SR04 to it. I ran a sketch that I found somewhere and in the serial monitor it reported correct results for different distances. So I added a radio as well, loaded the sketch for the HC-SR04 found on this page and uploaded it. Both gateway and sensor use version 2.3.1. The sensor's the output in the serial monitor is the following:
16 MCO:BGN:INIT NODE,CP=RNNNA---,REL=255,VER=2.3.1
26 TSM:INIT
27 TSF:WUR:MS=0
33 TSM:INIT:TSP OK
35 TSM:FPAR

4061 TSM:FPARthe output from the gateway is this:

I don't have any capacitors (ordered some), but as I understand the output, both gateway and sensor seem to work, but won't get a connection. Am I correct that I would see a message on the gateway if/when it receives something from the sensor? I didn't hook up the controller yet. Aside from waiting for the capacitor, can I check something else?

@hhn10 missing capacitor is the top reason for bad communication so your best bet is to wait for the capacitors to arrive.
