As an OH3 user looking to upgrade, I'm wondering, do all of the binding points from OH to mysensor nodes, children etc work after upgrade and loading this new .jar?

Or do I have to re-build everything in OH?

Hi OSD, thanks for your input.

Those are the 4 relays on IO-MCU. I buzzed out the circuit and found that I had an open circuit on the 12v line to the relays.
Furthermore 2 of the relays indicator LEDs were illuminating, 2 were not.

I suspect, when I first juiced up the circuit on this MCU, the 2 relays fired, but I'd made the trace too thin for the required current. I wired up some jumper wire on the reverse of the PCB and the 2 relays started working.

The 2 that remain inoperable?

A6 and A7 can only be analogue inputs, cannot be digitally written to..... - so this part of my PCB is now redundant.

However, all in all, some good fault finding, found the two issues, and I'm now going away to re-think my PCB trace widths and reading the datasheets more accurately

Thanks

Hi, this may be a long one, but I'm seriously at my whits end and could do with some guidance on how to progress fault finding.

I've designed a PCB that, whilst looks confusing, is simple enough. It consists of 4 Arduino Pro Minis - 3 of which have MAX485 circuits, plumbed in to an RS485 network (in and out), Off PCB there is a MySensors gateway in to Openhab Instance.
tinywow_Circuit Diagram_45906714_1.png

On the whole, everything works - there are over 14 'nodes', arduino pro minis dotted around the network which all communicate properly, including the other 2 working nodes on this PCB. And I do believe that the defective node (#12 - IO_MCU) is communicating correctly, but relays just simply do not pull in.

Alarm MCU - Dedicated Arduino for alarm compute - no MAX485 to MySensors - (WORKING)
Alarm IO MCU - takes same inputs as above Alarm MCU - but passes them off to MySensors and Openhab (WORKING)
WS2812_MCU - independant to alarm is used to control LEDs over OpenHab + MySensors (WORKING)
IO_MCU - independant to alarm - is used to give button inputs, PWM controlled outputs and relay outputs. (RELAYS DO NOT PULL IN)

I'm an electrical Engineer by trade, I've got the relays working on the Alarm MCU, and the circuit is exactly the same for each.

I think my problem is with the configuration of the Arduino Sketch - maybe something to do with the Analogue pins, output type, or something

https://pastebin.com/RH2X8Ja9 - Arduino Sketch for the IO_MCU.

// Dimmer
Tags bracket the PWM controller output sections

// Button
Tags bracket the button input sections

// Relay
Tags bracket the relay output sections

When listening over serial to the node, I can see it is getting comms, presents all its IO - and even received on and off commands for relay children - however, no action on the PCB.

Similarly Openhab logs give all of the node 12s children as inbox things, I can tie them to items and command them on / off.

Any and all help is appreciated. I get that this is a big ask, I'm more than willing to give any more data that is required - testing, serial prints etc etc. Just struggling right now.

Appreciate your time.

Hi @nagelc , thanks for coming back to me - Apologies I didn't realise you'd replied nearer the time.

Am I right in thinking, so long as I define the new patterns function later on in the sketch - I can include it in the switch of function updateLightPattern, and it will be added to the mapping?

How do we know what definitive figures the 0 to 100 percentage map to in 0 to 15? Or is that basic arithmetic and each switch state will be called in each 'chunk'. I also only count 10 items in the switch state. Does that mean we can add 5 more? and if wanting more than 15 simply change our mapping size to have more?

Appreciate the help.

void updateLightPattern(){
  // global: curPattern, updatePatternDelay, lastPatternUpdate
  unsigned long now = millis() ;
  if (now > lastPatternUpdate + updatePatternDelay){    // check if time for update
    switch (curPattern) {
      case pAlarm:                  // flash light
        patternAlarm();
        break ;
      case pFire:                   // wild fire
        patternFire();
        break ;
      case pFire2:                  // cosy fire
        patternFire2();
        break ;
      case pCandle:                 // flame
        patternCandle();
        break ;
      case pCircle:                 // flame
        patternCircle();
        break ;
      case pRainbow:                  // rotating rainbow
        patternRainbow();
        break ;
      case pSinelon:                  // rotating rainbow
        patternSinelon();
        break ;
      case pSolid:                  // do nothing fall through
      case pOff:
      case pOn:
      default :                   // def  
        break ;
      }
    lastPatternUpdate = now ;
    }
  }

Morning all, apologies for waking up an old thread, but it's pertinent to this chain of thought:

I'd like to build on this code and introduce a few more LED settings according to the percentage figure sent in the RGB dimmer.

Can anyone explain which part looks at the percentage and translates it out to the pattern?
How would I go about adding a new pattern to a chosen percentage value?

Many thanks
Adam

You will be limited by RAM as to how many LEDs you can run
Using a Mega you can run 2000 LEDs

@BearWithBeard said in Relay Actuator with momentary (pulse) action:

digitalWrite(relayPin[message.getSensor()-7], RELAY_ON)

Many thanks for coming back @BearWithBeard, its a huge help.
So my logic for correcting the State problem at the bottom would be to do the same calculation to get them in to 0 and 1.

saveState(message.getSensor()-7, message.getBool());

Compiled correctly and then uploaded and it works! Fantastic. The following sketch has 3 dimmers, 4 buttons and 2 relay outputs.

Thank you very much - I'm learning

Morning all,

I'm smashing together 3 types of sketches here (3 x Dimmer, 4 x Button, 2 x relay) and am struggling with this 'momentary' relay action. The relays do not fire at all.

Everything is presented to the controller (Openhab) via an RS485 gateway, and the dimmer and buttons work and feedback their states. The log output shows that this device is receiving a 0 and 1 from Openhab on its relay nodes (7 and however, still no actuation.

I wonder if someone was able to take a cursery glance at my code. The relay sections of code are bracketed with // Relay

 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - February 15, 2014 - Bruce Lacey
 * Version 1.1 - August 13, 2014 - Converted to 1.4 (hek)
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * This sketch provides a Dimmable LED Light using PWM and based Henrik Ekblad
 * <henrik.ekblad@gmail.com> Vera Arduino Sensor project.
 * Developed by Bruce Lacey, inspired by Hek's MySensor's example sketches.
 *
 * The circuit uses a MOSFET for Pulse-Wave-Modulation to dim the attached LED or LED strip.
 * The MOSFET Gate pin is connected to Arduino pin 3 (LED_PIN), the MOSFET Drain pin is connected
 * to the LED negative terminal and the MOSFET Source pin is connected to ground.

Hello all, many thanks to @AWI for this great sketch - it performs very well and is my 'go to' for a WS28XX interface with Mysensors and Openhab.

I am however, starting to experience problems introduced with the FastLED 'wait' commands and the radio receiving a command - essentially, if I command the node to a pattern that is particularly blocking - I cant them command it to off, solid colour or another pattern.

Anyone solved this problem - or able to point me in the direction of solving. I'd be happy to refresh the sketch and re-share.

adds666

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

adds666

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

adds666

@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.

[0_1608024751465_MyConfig.h](Uploading 100%)

adds666

@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

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

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!
