    • RE: RFM95 network problem (RPI & Arduino GW)

      Alright,

      Sometimes the solution is pretty obvious but you fail to spot it.
      @tekka thanks for pointing me to the correct direction, as the problem was in the used frequency.

      Even though I initially tried with 434 MHz, it turns out that when i finally did it right, i had already switched to the default 868.
      After adding
      #define MY_RFM95_FREQUENCY RFM95_434MHZ
      in the sketches initially, i established communication.

      After that i also tried to configure again the rasperry (this time knowing that the node is working) and Hooray! it worked 🙂

      Thank you all for your support and @titvs @mfalkvidd as well.

      Hi @mfalkvidd , 433 is not defined anywhere (also if you check the link you sent).

      Instead, in https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/master/drivers/RFM95/RFM95.h you can see that the pre-defined symbols are:

      // Frequency definitions
      #define RFM95_169MHZ (169000000ul) //!< 169 Mhz
      #define RFM95_315MHZ (315000000ul) //!< 315 Mhz
      #define RFM95_434MHZ (433920000ul) //!< 433.92 Mhz
      #define RFM95_868MHZ (868100000ul) //!< 868.1 Mhz
      #define RFM95_915MHZ (915000000ul) //!< 915 Mhz

      I assume I can override that by setting
      #define MY_RFM95_FREQUENCY (433000000ul)

      but i also guess that these pre-defined are standards to most hardware devices.
      Anyway I will come back once i test these

      Hi Both and thanks for your replies.

      @titvs I have tried also to assign NODE ID, but without luck. I will try again once i get back to it (i m currently at work so cannot test). EDIT The modules are connected on IRQ pin 2

      @tekka Good point. I noticed that the module i use states : 433 MHz only. At some point i did set the frequency to ( #define RFM95_434MHZ ) but i m not sure if i did with the Examples, will certainly give that a shot (i remember i removed to reduce my customisation).
      The #define RFM95_434MHZ should be equivalent with what is stated as 433 MHz, right? Could there be a problem?

      My apologies, the correct module is : https://www.adafruit.com/product/3073 (and not 3072 as i wrote on my initial post )

      Thank you, I will come with an update later today

    • RFM95 network problem (RPI & Arduino GW)

      Hi all,

      I am new to MySensors and I have tried to set up a GW with a Sensor to establish communication among the two without success.

      I am using Adafruit RFM95 modules ( https://www.adafruit.com/product/3072 ) which I have managed to use with RadioHead library (so i know both modules are functional).

      Trying to move over to MySensors, I initially tried to set up a Raspberry Pi Gateway following all the steps of the tutorial, on a serial gw, which (at least and according to the debug info was successful as suggested by the tutorial) and then connected an Arduino Uno according to https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio#rfm6995-&-arduino , using the unmodified example of Mysensors (PingPongSensor as well as a few others).

      Notice that i have been using unmodified (default) options, aka. only turning on the RF95 option (through the ./configure on RPi and #define MY_RADIO_RFM95 on arduino, an leaving everything else to its defaults.

      My Sensor verbose on the serial is :

      20405 TSM:FPAR

      .... (and so on)

      Apparently, the FPAR fails, so after digging a bit on the forums, people suggested that there is no communication with the GW. In order to avoid having a defective configuration on the gw, i tried to set up a serial gateway on a 2nd Arduino. Again, i got successful verbose :

      0;255;3;0;9;0 MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RLNGA---,VER=2.3.0
      0;255;3;0;9;4 TSM:INIT

      0;255;3;0;9;32 MCO:BGN:STP
      0;255;3;0;9;38 MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1

      And the GW get no recv messages.

      In all my cases the sketches are the default ones, with the only change of:
      #define MY_RADIO_RFM95
      #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RFM95

      (similarly was in the RPi Gateway)

      I am also attaching 2 photos of my arduino wirings with the LoRA modules:
      ![alt text](0_1536522585485_20180909_223353.jpg image url)0_1536522599278_20180909_223429.jpg

      I have tried to move on with this communication a few days now and have reached a point where I dont know what to try next. Please suggest where would the problem lie in.

      Thank you in advance
