@edsteve as per datasheet VGS Gate-Source Voltage - Continuous = ±8 V and Gate Threshold Voltage is Max 1,0V and Min 0,4V, this is working(conducting) voltage. So, according to above datasheet maximum voltage to gate can be ±8 V. About the resistor, you could also try 30K or 100K.

Thanks for your reply. I was dealing with it for 3 hours now. Grml. But as usual i figured it out right after this post. The trigger pin was connected to the wrong Arduino pin (4 instead of 6). Of course i didin't check it, because it still worked with connected serial converter. How strange. So i guess this post can be deleted due to waste of space. Cheeers ED

Sorry guys. Not at home lately. I will report if and what solved my problem when i am back.

Yeahaa. Thanks so much. I really appreciate it! Some small changes with temp4 and works like a charm. If you don't accept my offer.

Thanks for still coping with me. Tried playing with your suggestions but no success as well. But i found the problem. SOLUTION: I just gave the wind-sensor-node a different NODE_ID manually and now it updates the direction value. Seems there was some problems with old data when i used this arduino as a temp sensor.

Again: Look at "MockMySensors" sketch in MySensors example library. All type of sensors has got presentation and sending or receiving function examples for them there.

@edsteve - thanks for reporting back - it might help someone else in the future Great you solved it.

Nobody?

@edsteve no waste at all. Someone else might make the same mistake and now they'll be able to find the solution if they search. Thanks for reporting back

Thanks for the info tbo. I read in forums that the mysensors page is not always up to date because it's manually updated that's why i wasn't sure which info to trust. I trust yours now

Hey Vidd, Thanks for your perfect answer and the diagram. Useful info for newbie like me I tried external power for the radio and it worked right away. I got mislead from the fact that the radio worked with a simple test code but not with mysensors code.
