    • RE: Using an UNO for Sensor With Negative Results

      Thanks for the suggestion, I've never had to manually specify a nodeID before, but I took your advice and did that and it accepted the ID but it's still coming back with the "st=fail" messages:

      connecting at 115200
      send: 119-119-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,st=fail:
      sensor started, id 119
      send: 119-119-255-0 s=255,c=0,t=17,pt=0,l=3,st=fail:1.4
      send: 119-119-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1,st=fail:255
      send: 119-119-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=12,st=fail:Light Sensor
      send: 119-119-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=12,pt=0,l=3,st=fail:1.0
      send: 119-119-255-0 s=0,c=0,t=16,pt=0,l=3,st=fail:1.4
      46
      send: 119-119-255-0 s=0,c=1,t=23,pt=2,l=2,st=fail:46

      I'm not savvy enough in this to know exactly what that st=fail is indicating, I assume it's indicative of the communications failure between the sensor and gateway?

      Anything else to look at?

      thanks!

    • Using an UNO for Sensor With Negative Results

      Hi, I've been having some really great success with the example sketches using the Nano's. I wanted to experiment with an Uno so I could use the dedicated DC adapter power input for a more permanent install. Trying to combine a light sensor and a motion sensor in one, but that's another thread.

      I'm simply not having any success getting the Uno to talk to my gateway at all. I've gone through all of the troubleshooting steps here, cleared my eeprom, triple checked and triple checked again my radio wiring, but I'm convinced it's in the radio that I"m having trouble.

      I stripped things down to just the Uno and the radio only and uploaded a known-good light sensor only sketch but don't have the light sensor plugged in(though I've tried that).

      I'm getting the following repeating:
      connecting at 115200
      send: 255-255-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,st=fail:
      req node id
      send: 255-255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=fail:
      sensor started, id 255
      req node id
      send: 255-255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=fail:
      req node id
      send: 255-255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=fail:
      req node id
      send: 255-255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=fail:
      req node id

      The exact same sketch with the exact same wires, and radio on my Nano work great and I'm getting good communication between the Nano and my gateway.

      I've tried the Uno on USB power as well as AC Adapter power with the same result. The only thing I've not tried is the adding the capacitor to the radio's power, mainly because I don't have one and would have to order it. I've never needed the capacitor before with the Nano, but maybe the Uno's are more finicky? I've put my multimeter to the 3.3v out on the Uno and it looks as stable and correct as can be read with a cheap multimeter.

      Any ideas? I certainly could just go with the Nano at the end of the day but for the application I have in mind, the ability to power it with the AC adapter would make the Uno a better fit...not to mention I have a couple of more Uno's here that I'd hope to use someday as well.

      Thanks in advance,
