Great thanks a lot!

Hi all,

Is there anyone that can post an example on how to use the conditional report function in Nodemanager (1.8)?

I want to create a sht21 temperature sensor that reports only when the temperature is changed by 1.5 degrees.

Any help welcome

@tsjoender said in MYSBootloader 1.3.0-beta.3:

@cdr @Henry I ran into the same issue. Turned out to be a syntax issue in the boards.txt file. If you change:

MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL16.f_cpu=16000000L

into

MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL16.build.f_cpu=16000000L

Then it works again. Adding build. needs to be done for the other menu entries as well.

thanks a lot!

Hi,

Anyone seen this error on latest 1.3 release? It seems a define is not done for F_CPU, what am I missing here?

Thanks for this cool project, wishing all a good 2018!

Hi Tekka,

Happy 2017! Thanks for the update, can you upload a 8Mhz precompiled bootloader? (and update boards.txt)

I'm curious is there a changelog since last version?

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is an easy way to ask for the distance or signal level of an NRF node.

I know there is I_DEBUG, but it seems rather new and I haven't found any docs on that topic.

Anyone?

Regards,

Thanks for the explanation, first try didn't work so I suspected the fuses, but turned out to be a voltage issue.

For some reason I can't set the extended fuse to 0x06, it always reverts to 0xFE;

avrdude.exe: verifying ...
avrdude.exe: WARNING: invalid value for unused bits in fuse "efuse", should be set to 1 according to datasheet
This behaviour is deprecated and will result in an error in future version
You probably want to use 0xfe instead of 0x06 (double check with your datasheet first).
avrdude.exe: 1 bytes of efuse verified

Anyone knows why?

@MarkV you might want to check your "AppData" folder, I noticed the same behaviour and had to change boards.txt in this location.

C:\Users{{user}}\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.6.10

GL

great to hear! Please let me test

@rollercontainer correct

I'm running beta2 for a month and haven't hit a real show stopper.

The new syntax feels cleaner, I use it with a mqttclientgateway and it never went down since start. I upgraded gateway first and then ported my old 1.5 code to 2.0, OTU pushed via Mysloader 1.3 beta, living on the edge!

Don't know about on-the-wire tho.

@rollercontainer confirmed working with W5100mqtt here!

Great work, testing now

do donators get priority?

I'm testing the DEV branch with MQTT and W5100, I use a shield with an included SD-CARD. I had trouble sending messages using MQTT so I tried to debug using plain Ethernet gateway w5100, the same problem seems to occur.

Everything seems to work normal in debug log, but I noticed that I never get a "gateway ready" command. Please note that radio init is good, and I get an IP adress that is reachable.

I tried to enable SOFTSPI and UDP ethernet, but no dice.

Really looking forward to the new w5100 MQTT client gateway! Any advice appreciated. (trying with a w5100 without SD CARD did not change anything)

running into the sam

You can edit myconfig.h and have te recompile after change.

Hi @tekka,

Thanks for the reply, I created a "clear eeprom" hex and after uploading it is working as expected, the ID resets.

Using the function in Mycontroller however, does not work. Not sure if this is a bug, or perhaps an error caused by an Arduino clone, but the "reassign ID" function is not working as intended here.

Anyone here that got it working as intended?

I use MYSbootloader, but can neither get "reassign ID", nor "clear eeprom" functions to work.

I guess I could make a cleareeprom hex, but that feels like a workaround.

Can somebody explain to me how the "Reassing ID" function works in MYScontroller? I haven't been able to change a ID remotely.

ID's keep the same after reboots or power cycles, with or without the AutoID option on.

@tekka I feel really, really, REALLY stupid;

I changed the channel in the mysensors config.h to 77, this was the reason no node would ever show up since the default mysbootloader uses the default channel 76.

D'OH

Thanks for your patience and help, everything is working now and I'm really happy!

It is possible to burn the bootloader to an Arduino Uno right? (if not please skip below and I will rtfm some more)

Could anyone please explain me what I am doing wrong here? I use avrdudess (http://blog.zakkemble.co.uk/avrdudess-a-gui-for-avrdude/) to program the bootloader.hex (also tried the supplied method) but no dice;

Writing the bootloader seems to work;

This last error is giving me headaches, why the "first mismatch at byte 0x0000 0x06 != 0xfe" error?

Really hope someone can enlighten me...

Hi tekka,

Thanks for the response and clarification. I think I need more knowledge about fuses and bootloaders, it could be that the arduino clones are giving me sh&t.

Looking forward to my success and MYSloader 2.0 ofcourse!

Thanks again for all your work.

Hello,

First of all, thanks Tekka for the great MYScontroller!

I want to get started with the MYSbootloader but I can't get it to work. I've followed each step securely but I never "see" my arduino in MYScontroller after flashing the bootloader. Perhaps I misunderstand the theory behind the bootloader? Maybe the fuses are wrong, I don't know.

Perhaps someone can reply to the following;

• Can I just attach a radio module to an Arduino Nano as instructed on the site, clear the eeprom and then burn the bootloader using usbasp? (as instructed in this thread) Or do I need to upload the gateway sketch before burning the bootloader?
• I have a hard time understanding what the bootloader does, I think it enables low level nrf functionality for OTA and Myscontroller instructions like reboot and clear eeprom etc. But when I upload a sketch does that mean the bootloader inits the nrf first and then the uploaded sketch will just re-init the nrf again?
• Is there a way to debug the bootloader?

Have a good laugh if you will at these noob questions, but any help is appreciated

The simple Chinese ones yes.

I have, it seems to work and the code already contains a nointerrupt/interrupt to avoid echo's.

Thanks for the replies, I got a working sample which can send and receive 433 Mhz signals.

My skills don't include advanced C code, so this is the best I can do It's working for me, so I'll share my work;

Thanks for the replies, both solutions regarding dim level are nice and at least save me time.

@Sweebee I was thinking to use a VAR1 like "a=12345,u=1,p=0" maybe not the most elegant solution, the fixed string option feels too complex, having to pad leading zero's. But then again a simple "123456,4,0" should work too.

I guess it's not possible to send multi VAR payloads? That would be the most elegant option I guess. Maybe mysensors 2.0?

Hi all,

First of all my compliments for this fantastic framework, I'm new here and I was trying to improve the wheel many times but using "mysensors" feels like the right way to do things (tm).

I like to connect different things to my domotica system, this time I'm trying to create a 433Mhz sender. I know there are some examples but they don't seem to fit my needs.

What I like to do is create a general 433Mhz sender based on the NewRemoteTransmitter library, the parameters to the sendUnit function should come from the controller (mind the 24byte limit, parameters should include: address,unit and payload all encoded in a single VAR1 payload)

I have some questions, perhaps one of you can help me?

• Is VAR1 for the payload a good choice?
• What is the best way to tranport a multi value payload? (address,unit,payload)
• 433Mhz also supports DIM levels, ranged from 0 to 15, is there an easy method to scale this from 0 to 100?

Many questions for a new user I know, hope to see some feedback

current example code

// 433Mhz transmitter for mysensors.org

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <NewRemoteTransmitter.h>

#define SN "RF433Sender"
#define SV "1.0.2"
#define TRANSMITTER_PIN 8
#define RF433_CHILD_ID 1

MySensor gw;
MyMessage msg(RF433_CHILD_ID, V_VAR1);

void setup()
{
  // Attach method for incoming messages
  gw.begin(incomingMessage, AUTO, true);

  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  gw.sendSketchInfo(SN, SV);

  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  gw.present(RF433_CHILD_ID, S_IR);
}

void loop()
{
  gw.process();
}

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  if (message.type == V_VAR1 ) {
    unsigned long address = 231337; // TODO hardcoded
    int unit = 0; // TODO hardcoded
    bool payload = message.getBool();

    /*
    Serial.println(address);
    Serial.println(unit);
    Serial.println(payload);
    */

    NewRemoteTransmitter transmitter(address, TRANSMITTER_PIN, 260, 3);
    transmitter.sendUnit(unit, payload ? 1 : 0);
  }
}

"can't find a working instance od Relay.h."

Having the same issue here, perhaps it's for version 1.3 of mysensors?
