  • PCB Boards for MySensors
    C Cory

    I did the design in Eagle after watching some youtube videos. OSHPark has a design rules file and can accept the eagle file type without exporting.

    This board was my very first (second rev to fix some issues). Here is a link to the files if you want to modify it.

    Personally I think it would be better to start from scratch in order to get the learning.

    My goal was to get the board as small as possible (to reduce cost). I have a smaller one with the radio inside the arduino footprint, but I haven't tested it or shared it yet.

    @smokey1300
    This is a board that I designed. I didnt think anyone would actually stumble on it. :-)
    I'm not sure about any mean penguins, but here is some extra documentation.

    Let me know if you want more info. I have built 3 sensors with these boards with no issues.

  • Part time standalone sensor + parallel control of nodes
    C Cory

    Here is a quick example of the setup.
    The Switch is connected to GND and a digital input on Arduino. Activate the internal pull-up on the digital input and sample the pin in order to detect the position of the switch. The Arduino sketch can then treat the switch as a 3-way switch and toggle the light (relay) when switch state changes.

  • Making a sensor node to work even when the gateway is not available?
    C Cory

    It sounds like maybe you are trying to create a sensor but you currently dont have a gateway setup. Your sensor is asking the gateway for a node id, but the request fails. If you want to get around this you can specify a node id in your sketch.

    gw.begin(NULL, 1, FALSE);

    This will initialize your sensor with node id 1. ID 0 is reserved for the gateway.

    Troubleshooting

  • Power source for relay actuator
    C Cory

    I usually search for "ac usb" on ebay and get good results.

    So far i have been happy to find chargers like these. They support up to 240V and are small enough to fit into electrical boxes with the case on.

    I typically get them for ~$0.70 each but have also won some bids for less.

  • EasyIoT serial interface
    C Cory

    Seems the Windows server doesn't support the MySensors Serial gw yet.

    In the systemconfig.xml file it has
    <Driver>
    <Domain>MySensors</Domain>
    <Enabled>false</Enabled>
    </Driver>

    I tried changing this to "true" but it didnt work.
