    • RE: [Solved] NRF24L01+ Serial Gateway not starting ( Sanity check failed )

      Thank you so much, scalz.
      That solved my problem.
      Just soldered them and now it works.

      It really seems the arduino needs a good wired connection in order to work.

    • [Solved] NRF24L01+ Serial Gateway not starting ( Sanity check failed )

      Hello Guys,

      i tried to build my first mySensors - Serial Gateway.
      It does not seem to work, since the serial monitor gives the following output messages:

      0;255;3;0;9;Starting gateway (RNNGA-, 2.0.0)
      0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=0, value=14
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=3, value=3
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=4, value=95
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=5, value=76
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=6, value=35
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:read register, reg=6, value=255
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:read register, reg=5, value=255
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:Sanity check failed: configuration mismatch! Check wiring, replace module or non-P version
      0;255;3;0;9;!TSM:RADIO:FAIL
      0;255;3;0;9;!TSM:FAILURE
      0;255;3;0;9;TSM:PDT
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:write register, reg=0, value=12
      0;255;3;0;9;RF24:power down
      

      I setup my software like this:

      1. Download and install Arduino IDE.
      2. In Arduino IDE, downloaded the MySensors library
      3. I took the sketch from the example GatewaySerial ( File/Examples/MySensors/GatewaySerial )
      4. Uploaded the sketch with these 2 additional Defines:
      #define MY_NODE_ID 124
      #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RF24
      

      Since i thought the problem could be, that i need a controller to get rid of those error messages, i put the my_node_id to a random value, and to get some more error details i put the verbose_rf24 in the defines.

      So the final sketch, that i'm uploading is:

        /**
       * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
       * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
       * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
       * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
       * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

       * DESCRIPTION
       * The ArduinoGateway prints data received from sensors on the serial link. 
       * The gateway accepts input on seral which will be sent out on radio network.
       *
       * The GW code is designed for Arduino Nano 328p / 16MHz
       *
       * Wire connections (OPTIONAL):
       * - Inclusion button should be connected between digital pin 3 and GND  
       * - RX/TX/ERR leds need to be connected between +5V (anode) and digital pin 6/5/4 with resistor 270-330R in a series
       *
       * LEDs (OPTIONAL):
       * - To use the feature, uncomment MY_LEDS_BLINKING_FEATURE in MyConfig.h
       * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
       * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
       * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error 
       *

      The OS I'm using running arduino IDE:
      Windows 10 ( I also tried it with my macbook pro MacOs X, same result. )

      The Hardware, that I'm using:

      1. Arduino Nano with CH340g Chip ( Working without manually installing driver on win10 )
      2. NRF24L01+, The text on the chip is:
        NRF M
        24L01+
        1452AB
        0_1480348373185_IMG_0961.JPG
      3. Capacitor 4.7uF
      4. Jumper Cables
      5. Usb - to MicroUsb Cable
      6. Board

      What i tried so far:

      1. Replacing the NRF24L01+ with ones from a different manufacturer.
      2. Downloading MySensors API manually from Homepage and copy paste the sample from the MySensors Site.
      3. Re-wiring all the components.
      4. Searching forum and google for similar problems.

      Sadly, nothing of this helped me so far.

      Here's how i wired things up:
      Note: For simplicity i used the same colors for my cables as the ones in the example

      Arduino:
      0_1480349591566_IMG_0968.JPG
      NRF24L01+:
      0_1480349649574_IMG_0971.JPG

      If you have any ideas what i could have missed, or what i could try to get it working, please let me know.
      Thank you in advance.
