Necro'ing this topic but I thought I'd post the solution.

I was stuffing around with ILI9341 displays on an Arduino Pro Mini but couldn't really get them to work properly at 115,200 baud, even if I increased the serial buffer to 1k.

Instead, I got a NodeMCU v1.1, and installed the excellent ESP-LINK firmware on it.

I now have a serial console via Wifi to the Mysensors controller with close to zero effort on my part.

The only change I needed to make (on the Sensebender Ethernet Gateway) was the following line to direct the output to the serial port in the MYSX connector:

#define MY_SERIALDEVICE Serial1

I had the same problem.

For some reason I'd connected NRF_CE to Pin D4 instead of D9.

Simply putting #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 4 made all the problems go away but I lost a couple of days figuring that out. I assumed the radio was connected fine as it was talking to the gateway, it would just not ACK messages.

The gateway would show:

7222879 !TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-6-6,s=255,c=3,t=8,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:0

(Running 2.2.0.rc2)

@dbemowsk Nah it's better, I run around with a Surface tablet and look like I'm on %random_forensic_crime_drama% How much more Hollywood can one get?

I did split the serial and send it both to the NodeMCU and the TFT screen, but the TFT kept missing lines as it couldn't keep up (rather the Arduino Pro Mini couldn't keep up) so while it'd look nice, was useless for debugging purposes.

Alexsh1, good point however it doesn't have the Hollywood-wow factor of a LCD scrolling random crap.

Thanks MikeF, that's good idea for a plan B.

The ethernet gateway with debug turned on logs to the serial port.

How can we redirect this to an LCD screen, e.g. driven by u8glib or similar? My gateway is no longer in a convienient location to attach via USB to perform logging when I add new nodes now. I have a bunch of 320x240 LCDs (SPI or I2C ) available.
