Well I solved the problem... I had a power supply tied to the board and should not have while communicating via USB! https://ketturi.kapsi.fi/2014/04/how-to-fix-moody-arduino-nano/

Hello,
I am new to mysensors and trying to get started... However, I am having a lot of trouble getting the device drivers to load for my Nano. I have read a number of posts regarding this and tried many different things.. Please help -
The Nano is using a FTDI 1441-c chip, I am not sure if that is a real or fake FTDI chip? I am using Win 7 with an HP 6360t laptop. I can get as far as it accepting the bus driver file date 9/9/2014, however it still has a code 10 error and the device is stopped. When I try to load the port driver on the device showing under COM ports it is not successful .

1. I have downloaded the most current driver from FTDI website - ver 2.12 I believe.
2. I have followed the process of loading the Bus driver and then port driver.
3. I tried loading the driver listed in win../system32/driverstore. I have also tried the drivers within the arduino dir
4. I have tried to change the ftdibus.inf & port.inf file - PID_ version on the driver to 0000
5. I have also tried shutting down the PC, removing the battery and then restarting

I have been successful with being able to communicate to a UNO. However, I would like to use the Nano for my gateway because it is verified with Vera controller. At this time I am just trying to get started with the gateway. Any help would be appreciated

Hello
The checksum results look good..

It does not look like there are any errors on the arduino plugin.. I need to dig ot one of my sensors and see if it is working correctly - thank you for your help

Hello,
Thank you for your patience with this... It looks like the files match but some of the checksums do not. Below is what I found on my vera..

Hello
So I was still unable to tell if the gateway is using a true FTDI chip, using the command lsusb -v -s 002:003.. I went through the process of setting up the gateway and reloaded the zwave engine - Below is the log for the Arduino gateway - There are a few areas that look significant but I pasted all the entries so nothing go missed.

I will go through the steps to connect the gateway and then get the logs..

When I send the command lsusb -v -3 002:003 It just returns the list of the 3 devices..

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0403:6001

Hello Blacey,
Sorry for all the replys.. I got as far as listing the devices, I couldnt't get the details.. This is what I show for connect devices..

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0403:6001

when I try the -v -s commands it returns the same list.

Hello,
I am fairly sure it's a Nano clone for my gateway.. Within the serial port settings in vera it sees the device and the light is flashing on the vera as if it's communicating with gateway. How do I view the port settings / USB devices as you have detailed? I want to check and see if the gateway shows up as a FTDI device.

Hello,
Yes used the zip file in the UI7 branch, looks like the file dates are 3/16/2016.. The version on the plugin is v1.5

Hello,
It's been a while since I have worked with my vera & arduinos, moved to a new home. So I set up vera and decided to update to UI7.758. Everything transferred ok, however my arduino plugin did not recoginze the gateway - I have updated the plugin to v1.5, removed the device and created it again, configured the serial port. It gives me the can't detect device, I try to start the device an nothing happens. The gateway I am using is a Nano serial gateway. Any help would be appreciated

Here is the sketch if anyone can help out.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensor.h>

#define CHILD_ID_LIGHT 0
#define LIGHT_SENSOR_ANALOG_PIN 1

#define NODE_ID 9

int BATTERY_SENSE_PIN = A2; // select the input pin for the battery sense point

unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 30000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)

MySensor gw;
MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, V_LIGHT_LEVEL);
int lastLightLevel;
int oldBatteryPcnt = 0;

void setup()
{
// use the 1.1 V internal reference
//analogReference(INTERNAL);
gw.begin(NULL, NODE_ID, false);

// Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
gw.sendSketchInfo("Soil_Moist_Sensor_grb", "1.15");

// Register all sensors to gateway (they will be created as child devices)
gw.present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_LIGHT_LEVEL);
}

void loop()
{
int lightLevel = (1023-analogRead(LIGHT_SENSOR_ANALOG_PIN))/10.23;
Serial.println(lightLevel);
if (lightLevel != lastLightLevel) {
gw.send(msg.set(lightLevel));
lastLightLevel = lightLevel;
}

// get the battery Voltage
int sensorValue = analogRead(BATTERY_SENSE_PIN);
Serial.println(sensorValue);

// 1M, 470K divider across battery and using internal ADC ref of 1.1V
// Sense point is bypassed with 0.1 uF cap to reduce noise at that point
// ((1e6+470e3)/470e3)*1.1 = Vmax = 3.44 Volts
// 3.44/1023 = Volts per bit = 0.003363075 - changed without ref volt
float batteryV = sensorValue * 0.00305734;
int batteryPcnt = sensorValue / 10;

Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
Serial.print(batteryV);
Serial.println(" V");

Serial.print("Battery percent: ");
Serial.print(batteryPcnt);
Serial.println(" %");

if (oldBatteryPcnt != batteryPcnt) {
// Power up radio after sleep
gw.sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);
oldBatteryPcnt = batteryPcnt;
}

gw.sleep(SLEEP_TIME);
}

Hello,
I have created a sketch based on the analog light sensor sketch for a soil moisture sensor. It incorporates voltage monitor because I am using a 9v battery as a source, using Arduino Nano, sensor is connected to 5vdc regulated.This is connected via a serial gateway to vera. I am having trouble with the sketch if I include the analog ref voltage code from the voltage monitoring code, I do not see a change in the analog value from the soil moisture sensor.

// use the 1.1 V internal reference
analogReference(INTERNAL);

I have verified that that the voltage output is changing on the sensor. If I omit this code I am able to see the value of the moisture sensor change, however as the sensor detects more moisture and changes the value in Vera I notice that the battery level indicator changes. I do not have the 0.1uf cap connected from voltage tap to analog input, could this create the issue? I believe since I am not using the 1.1v reference code, I need to recalculate the ADCmax and also V/bit ratio in order to get an accurate percentage battery voltage. How does setting the analog reference impact other analog inputs? At this moment I don't have the sketch with me but will upload it later.
