I have a project that I have spent a fruitless day trying to make work.
Its a simple (or so I thought) Water Tank monitor that uses a Analog input from a Water level sensor and a BMP085 for Pressure and Temperature.

I can get the unit to register with the gateway and send the Present message (which I can see in the gateway), but I cannot pass data to the gateway.
I either get NACKs or it looses the Parent and re-requests.

I have tries a heap of NRF24L01+ modules that I have on hand I have added 4.7uF with 0.1uF in parallel to the radios. I am currently using a known good radio that I previously used on a different sensor. Its an Ebyte (Red PCB series) - I bought them as they seemed to be the 'least fake' and the date codes don't match any of the known dodgy lots, together with good reviews. I also have a selection of Ebay specials, and some AliExpress black PCB units.

At first I though it was an issue with my controller - IOBroker on Ubuntu, but I connected my Serial gateway directly to a WIN10 machine and ran MYSController and see the same issues.

I am running on a Leonardo clone where the USB startup time means I miss a bit of the debugging traffic at the start.

It looks like to loses the Parent Node as it tries to send to ID255 which I understand is a broadcast node.
What I don't understand is how can do the presentation transaction to the parent node, but then cannot send find it to send the data?

I have been tearing my hair out all day around this must be missing something obvious, but I can't seem to see it.
Running v.2.3.2 of MySensors Library. Programming in the Arduino Web App v6.10.

Thanks for any pointers,
Bill

I am going to rework the system so it uses an Easy Pcb and a Pro Mini rather than the Leonardo board.
I think I might be seeing a voltage drop in my point to point dupont wiring from the Arduino to the Radio.

I'll update you all once I get a chance to make the change.
