@nagelc I am using a ST-Link V2 that I turned into a BMP. So i don't have a RX pin on that. But I do have these pins left:

• RST
• SWIM

So you suppose any of these two pins are now RX?

I turned a ST-Link v2 into a Black Magic Probe using this guide.

The Black Magic Probe creates two virtual serial ports. One to program over, and another one. Can that second one be used to listen to Serial output from the NRF52? If so, how can that be set up?

I've created a BME280 node along the lines of the NRF5 beginners guide I posted.

But something odd is happening. The node works great for about 8 hours.. and then it stops working.

I already changed the power supply, but the same thing happens.

Could it be a memory leak?

@billgoolsby I don't know about other NRF24 libraries. But MySensors definitely works.

@smilvert: I am not an expert, I'm a beginner sharing what I learnt so far. Perhaps other experts on the forum can help. It's probably a good idea to post advanced questions in the NRF5 thread.

For me losing Bluetooth would be a feature: it makes you less likely to be tracked while in stores / smart cities.

Note: to hack it you need a J-Link device:

Awesome! Glad to hear you're exploring it!

Let's not go into that.

I was wondering: what would happen if IKEA / Philips / CompanyX said "hey, let's use MySensors to create a whole range of privacy friendly smart home products".

• Are there any showstoppers?
• Would a company like that ever want to? Are there examples where a similar adoption has happened in the past?
• Would they prefer to go with proven standards? If so, could MySensors ever be deposited as an open standard at a standards body?
• How would one pitch as the advantages of MySensors over other standards such as Zigbee, Bluetooth5, etc.

@gohan I actually did all that, but got a lot of pushback.

I created:

• An upgrade to the Dallas temperature sensor to make it non-blocking.

• A new temperature node that uses the BME280, which I think should be the default recommended temperature/humidity/airpressure sensor.
  https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6406/next-generation-temperature-sensor-for-mysensors/9
• A new dust sensor that uses a laser based sensor. This one actually works, is more precise, and allows uses to compare values because the fan is built-in (so everyone has the same fan = same airspeed).

• A new Co2 sensor
