      Anyone think about porting mysensors to the NETMF (.NET microframework)? to run on Netduino or GHI's stuff?

    • RE: Just cant get PiDome to work.

      I noticed that when I reboot the RPi, I loose the peripheral save. I have to re-add the peripheral manually in the peripheral screen. Once I do that, all of my device setup shows up.

      Any way to save that peripheral setting in case I want to create a trigger that reboots the pi for some reason?

    • RE: Just cant get PiDome to work.

      The big thing that I did is change the serial settings. once I did that and then had a bit of patience, things started showing up. Clearing the cache in my browser also removed the time that it took to save and test things.

      I think my biggest issue was coming up to speed on the controller interface and getting a feeling of the terminology.

      I appreciate the patience and help you have provided. I think that this will help me monitor and control my hydro/aquaponics farm and also help others in the small scale farming industry automate.

    • RE: Just cant get PiDome to work.

      Thanks John for the information about windows. I think I might hold off on that for awhile. I have enough on my shoulders right now.

      For now, it seems that I have everything working.

      ----- Edit (don't worry. I didn't read your "clear cache" I did that and everything is working!!!!!!! Very cool. thanks for your help!

      Thanks for the info. I will grab a newer build later today!

    • RE: Just cant get PiDome to work.

      Thanks for the support so far. I noticed that you were up late yesterday for your timezone.

      ok. I have been playing with this for a few hours and I it seems that I am now getting reads from the sensor.

      in case this doesn't link, this is reference to this thread: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/810/just-cant-get-pidome-to-work/7

      but, I think what might have been happening is I get a lot of the below error after updating data. What I have been doing is hitting the cancel X on the error popup instead of hitting ok a bunch of times (the error popup keeps popping up). and from there, maybe I was causing the code to halt at that error point instead of running past it.

      not sure what is causing that error.

      one other question, will PiDome run on windows?

    • RE: Just cant get PiDome to work.

      I did a quick change of the connection settings for the serial and changed it to N,8,1 @ baud=115200. But now I am getting a check wires. which at least is an error that I can see. Thoughts on this? could this be a problem with my FTDI controller? I am using a spark fun FTDI Basic controller. perhaps that is my problem now?

      I haven't turned on the trace yet. I will do that later today. Below is what I see in the Drivers view:

      Update:
      I switched out arduinos to one with a built in ftdi an and now I see the sensor, but get this in my logs.

    • RE: Just cant get PiDome to work.

      @John thanks. I will try this this afternoon. NOTE: all of the arduino's are from sparkfun.com. so, they are pretty reliable.

      on Suing? I didn't do a typo saying about suing did I? 🙂 I didn't meant to if I did. You provide awesome support.

      I will check this out this afternoon. I am excited about PiDome. I have a hydroponics garden in my back yard, and this could be a pretty cool thing for monitoring and controlling

      I will update once I follow your instructions. thanks.....

    • Just cant get PiDome to work.

      I am having the worst time trying to figurer out how to get PiDome working with my sensors. I have a sensor on a 3.3v Arduino Mini Pro (from sparkfun) and I have tried a serial gateway on both a Mini Pro as well as a Leonardo.

      I have tried to first watch to make sure that data is coming from my sensor to the gateway. I monitor the serial output from the gateway and I get the below (after I restart my sensor node)

      0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.

      255;255;3;0;3;

      so after that, I plug the gateway to the Raspberry Pi, I add it to a peripheral without problems.
      peripheral.PNG

      after that, I made that discovery was enabled.
      discovery.PNG

      I have then look at the drivers to see if there are any nodes discovered but nothing. and I don't see any logs
      drivers.PNG

      now, this all might be because I am just a nube to all of this and just don't know how to sue PiDome. I am basically using a Dallas Temperature sensor and trying to monitor temperature for this first project.

      Any help (screen shots, etc) would be greatly appreciated.

      regards,

      brian

    • RE: PiDome Domotica/Home Automation

      @John I am new to all of this. I am an Arduino programmer. but this is a first to communicate with a controller. Is there a simple "ping/pong" example. where a device is created in PiDome that is a basic switch or trigger that then just sends a message to an Arduino. and then the Arduino sketch sends back a known value that we can then review in PiDome?
