@mfalkvidd many thanks for coming back. I think I'll keep more complex things seperate, however will explore multiple binary sensors and relays on the same node.

Thanks

No way - found it. Large comment at the top of sketch (not copied to this forum) had a line of *********s across the top.

Removed and all ok. Thanks for your help anyway @mfalkvidd

Does this need a resistor between the Arduino digital pin and the Gate of the MOSFET? To limit current draw?

@mfalkvidd I had it running on a nano.
Now trying to put it in a mini pro.

However, cant get it to compile on either or an uno.

I'll re-install the IDE now and report back

@mfalkvidd just removed from the operating directory and installed via the Library Manager in the IDE - still same error.

Interestingly my RS485 Gateway sketch (Using the same library) compiles fine!

Good morning @mfalkvidd

I've not made amendements, I've tried to upload here, however received an error message with a 100% uploading. The library is 2.3.2 downlaoded from github.

@mfalkvidd many thanks for coming back. I think I'll keep more complex things seperate, however will explore multiple binary sensors and relays on the same node.

Hi, So I had this 'WS2812 actuator' sketch running on a Nano with a nrf24 radio and I'm not converting it to run in a rs485 network. However I encounter the following when I try and compile it. I've uninstalled and re-installed the library, both via the IDE and directly downloading from github - to no avail

Any and all help is appreciated.

I'm looking to use the examples from https://www.mysensors.org/build and combine them together in one arduino sketch so that one node can communicate a number of pieces of information back to the controller via a MAX485 module and network

I understand this is quite simple and possible with multiple, one time actions. Simply double up on the items in the code
For instance an arduino Mega:

• Reading 10 button states https://www.mysensors.org/build/binary

• Controlling 4 relay outputs https://www.mysensors.org/build/binary

And maybe even when a function is called periodically with a "sleep time" between reads, such as:

• Reading and updating temperature sensor https://www.mysensors.org/build/temp

However, it's not clear to me if this can be done with sensors/actuators that are constantly 'working' for instance:

• Controlling the brightness (via PWM) of a LED https://www.mysensors.org/build/dimmer

• Controlling ws2812 LED data signal similar to https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=8039&sid=71a5c0904f9a1662ff5447d264e6bb78

Can I amalgamate these .ino files? Am I only limited by the PWM / SPI outputs? Do I need to understand interrupts? Can a button press here go to the controller, run through an automation rule (I use Openhab) and then action a relay on the same node?

I'm drawing up some Gerber files for bespoke PCBs - the answer to the above will determine whether each function requires its own Arduino pro mini or whether I can simply have the functions ancilliary devices (relay, mosfet, 12v supply) on the pcb. I'll be sure to include the PCB somewhere for anyone else who would benefit from it.

Many thanks in advance, Adam

Hi @xydix , glad to hear you have the sketch working properly. Do you have the pinmode as OUTPUT or did you change to input?

And do you still have the saveStateL(closedPositionEE, closedPosition); line commented out?

If I change the pinMode to input, I get the system powered up and connected to the mysensors gateway fine - serial print repeats 'Button Release'. If I short press the button, the system does nothing. If I hold the button for 3000ms serial print reads 'Button Long Press' and the motor turns - however If I let go of the button, the motor stop and system returns to its 'button release' state.

I'm not able to get the system in to calibration mode.

@AWI Sorry for butting in to an old thread, but automating my blinds is top priority!

I've copied your sketch and have everything setup - however, I have eratic behaviour and a few questions:

void setup() {
  // setup buttons
  pinMode(buttonPin1, OUTPUT);
  stepper1.setMaxSpeed(2000.0);
  stepper1.setAcceleration(1000.0);
  //saveStateL(closedPositionEE, closedPosition) ;      // INIT: save closed position in EEPROM
  closedPosition = loadStateL(closedPositionEE) ;       // need to get last values from EEPROM and assume the current position is correct
  setPosition = loadStateL(setPositionEE) ;
  stepper1.setCurrentPosition(setPosition );
}//--(end setup )---

• Should the pinMode on buttonPin1 actually be an INPUT?

• Can you please describe how to go about calibrating the system?

• Does the //saveStateL(closedPositionEE, closedPosition);
  need uncommenting for one boot of the arduino and the blind closed - then the sketch re-uploading with it commented again?

Your help is greatly appreciated as I have a twitching motor and feel I'm almost there!
