@sundberg84 thanks, prudence is needed indeed. I abandoned this scenario and now only switch the lower energetic part of the bike.

@elcheekytico said in Node unable to find parent: Ok, Really dumb, I had MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN connected to the radio's RESET instead of DI00. I was grasping at straws and went to re-do my antenna because they were about 3mm too short when I noticed the mis-wiring. Once I fixed that swapped 3.3v and Ground and troubleshot that for a minute before I realized it. Before trying to fix the antenna I thought maybe since I didn't have a sensor defined the battery level data wasn't enough.The node is now talking to the controller with the MockMySensors sketch. Thanks for your help guys. I cleared eeprom and went back to my battery sketch and all is well.

I did manage to get this to work this morning. As I mentioned, I have a Freaduino Leonardo clone. This has a selector switch for 3.3v and 5v IO. I decided to go back and try with it at 3.3v and not use logic converters. It also has a ICSP breakout for SPI/IIC. I re-wired this thing many times, but was only able to get it to work when I wired it directly to the ICSP breakout and used the VCC/ground on the ICSP breakout as well. I tried the 3.3v on from one of the other pins on the board and 3.3v from a breadboarded power supply. Maybe it's something more simple that I just don't understand or missed, but it doesn't make sense to me. I made sure the 3.3v was there with each wiring change. I did however set the following: // RFM69 SPI chip select pin #define MY_RFM69_CS_PIN 6 // Define this to override the default RFM69 IRQ pin assignment #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN 2 // RFM69 IRQ number #define MY_RFM69_IRQ_NUM 1 And the log shows: 565 GWT:TIN:IP=192.168.0.75 1565 MCO:BGN:STP 1566 MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1 1566 TSM:READY:NWD REQ 1566 RFM69:SWR:SEND,TO=255,SEQ=0,RETRY=0 1568 RFM69:CSMA:RSSI=-97 3569 TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-255-255,s=255,c=3,t=20,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK: I know @Carywin mentioned extending the ICSP connector through the shield and used that. Maybe that's why it worked for him.
