thanks for the cooperation mfalkvidd & rejoe2
hello rejoe2, you have to power the MAX chip before you come into the loop() because the first time you have to send the node configuration to the gw.
Putting the
pinMode(SENSOR_POWER_PIN, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(SENSOR_POWER_PIN, HIGH);
code in the setup() is also too late.
If the MAX isn't powered before, you get error messages because the node can't connect to the gw.
btw the DE-PIN is not related to powering the transceiver --> right, it's a similar management, it was an example to find a solution
Is there a way to set an output pin high before sending the init message to the gateway?
so before
// Initialize messages
MyMessage msgTemp(CHILD_ID_TEMP,V_TEMP);
MyMessage sleepMsg(CHILD_ID_SLEEP, V_TEXT);
I want to save energy (300µA) so I want to power the MAX485 only when sending messages.
This is manageable in the sketch (set output pin high after returning from sleep mode, low before sleep) but at first start it isn't. I walked through the libraries but I didn't find the code where the DE pin is managed in order to send data to the MAX chip whch will send the data to the gateway. If I could find this I can make a similar set-up. Thanks in advance.
Great job guys, I saw many interested people.
The setup of the automated doll house was fascinating, also my son loved the sensor house (with the ghost)
Only this, I saw myself in one of taken pictures but unfortunately without the MySensor t-shirt ;-(
Hello,
I see a problem when using setSleepSeconds / setPowerPins in combination with the serial RS485 option.
void before() {
// setup the serial port baud rate
Serial.begin(MY_BAUD_RATE);
nodeManager.setSleepSeconds(30);
nodeManager.setPowerPins(11,12,1000);
/*
gives a temperature value of 7368:
0;255;3;0;9;TSF:MSG:READ,3-3-0,s=255,c=3,t=22,pt=5,l=4,sg=0:7368
3;255;3;0;22;7368
RECV S=3 I=255 C=3 T=22 P=
void before() {
// setup the serial port baud rate
Serial.begin(MY_BAUD_RATE);
nodeManager.setReportIntervalSeconds(50);
/*
gives a correct value:
0;255;3;0;9;TSF:MSG:READ,3-3-0,s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0:19.75
3;1;1;0;0;19.75
RECV S=3 I=1 C=1 T=0 P=
FYI
I already had report this in "https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6534/nodemanager/100", but in that case I was already using V1.6-dev version.

@user2684, why does NodeManager take so many sketch memory?
e.g.
(#define BATTERY_MANAGER 1; #define DEBUG 1; #define MODULE_DS18B20 1)
sketch NodeManager RS485 config for DS18B20 --> 28730 bytes (93%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
own sketch for RS485 SR04T --> 17078 bytes (55%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
OK, DS18B20 and SR04T are not the same but DS18B20 is less complex, so 38% more memory is pretty much.*
@Sergio, I know and it's OK. I'm just playing (trying to convert my RS485 projects).
In the cases above I'm using Nano boards.

Do I miss something?
@user2684, found the RS485 settings (thanks), but having problems with disabling the BATTERY_MANAGER option.
We don't need this option in a RS485 serial wired network (or RS485 serial gateway).
config.h:
#define BATTERY_MANAGER 0
gives following compiling errors:
sketch\NodeManager.cpp: In member function 'void NodeManager::process(Request&)':
NodeManager.cpp:3722: error: 'setBatteryReportSeconds' was not declared in this scope
case 40: setBatteryReportSeconds(request.getValueInt()); break;
NodeManager.cpp:3723: error: 'setBatteryReportHours' was not declared in this scope
case 41: setBatteryReportHours(request.getValueInt()); break;
NodeManager.cpp:3724: error: 'setBatteryReportDays' was not declared in this scope
case 42: setBatteryReportDays(request.getValueInt()); break;
exit status 1
'setBatteryReportSeconds' was not declared in this scope
Hello, is there an option to use the (fantastic) Node Manager in a RS485 wired set-up?
