@gohan said in Raspberry Gateway + Arduino pro mini (atmega328p) NRF24L01 (without plus +):

choose to configure it as ethernet, .

But if I understand right, I need ethernet gateway hardware, or am I missing something?

@gohan I do not have ethernet hardware. I just wanted to connect radio directly to RPI

@gohan As described above, there was no connection between serial gateway on RPi und sensor nodes.
Above is the whole setup described. Wiring is taken from the mysensors web site.

It's a workaroud, but not "nice".
Since I have no problem on creating gateway on another arduino pro mini, I just connected per USB the arduino to RP3 and everything is working fine.
So sensors can be read by a controller (home assistant).
Big downside is, that for pro mini I have to use usb to ttl convertor in between.
Maybe the code for raspberry is with bugs, since to be able to see my rf radio on raspberry I had to install the "development" branch.

This here is another try to solve issues as in this post LINK

I have now trying the setup where I have on raspberry 3 mosquitto as MQTT running and mysensors gateway also setup there. As controller I'm using home assistant.
I can see that mqtt receives data from gateway.
But how do I send data from my sensors (atmega328p) over nrf24l01+ to gateway?
What do I need to add in the skatch?

@mfalkvidd
Unfortunatelly no change after adding capacitor :(
Now I have bought NRF24L01 WITH Plus and I'm trying with them.
I have reinstalled from skratch everything.
Gateway and sensor are now ca. 3-4 meters appart.

@mfalkvidd Ok, so far :)
But do I need to "compile", "build", "make" something so that changes in MyConfig.h will be taken?

@mfalkvidd
Just in general: What is the procedure if I change the MyConfig.h on raspberry?

@mfalkvidd OK. I just bought some 4.7 capacitors :)
I'll make the setup with them.

@mfalkvidd said in Raspberry Gateway + Arduino pro mini (atmega328p) NRF24L01 (without plus +):

https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry#advanced shows how to set defines if you don't want to modify MyConfig.h, but modifying MyConfig.h also works. I prefer the -D variant because then I can easily switch MySensors versions in git without having to re-apply the changes.

Just to clerify, if I change MyConfig.h on raspberry it is not enough just to save the file and "build" the gateway with other parameters?
Maybe this is why I dont receive any signal.

@sundberg84
I dont have capacitors on radios.
The distance between radios is 20-30 cm.
Raspberry radio is powered from raspberry.
On Arduino i have additional power supply 5v for the motion sensor.
Arduino is powered through USB.

Am I assuming right, that on raspberry when there is no configure parameter for something, I just change it in MyConfig.h and "make" again?

I had the same hardware setup tested with gettingstarted and the communication was established.

Unfortunatelly not.
Same result

I have difficulties about following setup:
I have a controller home assisitant.
It runs on raspbery pi 3.
On the same I have a serial gateway MySensors (just attached NRF24L01 (without plus!) on it.
I have an (atmega328p) like arduino pro mini as node with a motion sensor attached.
I'm trying to "connect" the node to the gateway but without success.
Btw I have tested other different gettingstarted scripts with this radios and they are working fine.

Here is the output of the gateway:

I want to see some serial print, but there is nothing comming ever with this code.
