@reinhold I bet it's an IRQ issue:
If you are using version 1.1 of the board, with IRQ support, you need to compile the software on the pi with the --my-rf24-irq-pin=18 option (see Install section on openhardware / github)
By default IRQ is on pin 15 so my bet is that if it's working by following https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry you just need to recompile the software with this option and it should work
@scalz said in 💬 HALO : ESP32 multi transport GW/Bridge for Mysensors:
So far (but not digged a lot) i've only seen PA smd modules with ipex (but would be better if i could fit sma) or chip antenna (lol). Are you thinking to an other reference, or have a favorite module??
This work quite well with the IPX PA+LNA SMD modules
Congratulations to everyone, and a big thanks to PCBWay!
@Nca78 Not sure either to be honest, but technically I only did the calculation for a specific type of LED, the ones in the BOM.
I do use TSAL LEDs, and used http://ledcalc.com/#calc to do the resistor calculation for 7 LEDs with numbers extracted from the datasheet, leading to the ~5ohm resistor calculation.
I tried without any, or with a 4.7ohm resistor and I had significant better range results without resistor. Not a surprise, looking at the IR signal with a smartphone camera you can definitively see a brightness difference too, that's really a blaster 
No burned LED after 48h of testing (sending one of my IR code every 5s). I also tried, for 10min, with regular red LED (http://www.nteinc.com/specs/3000to3099/pdf/nte3019.pdf) which have lower Vf and If requirements, no problems either.
I don't say that this is right, I truly don't have the background to do more than empirical experimentations, but it seemed good enough for me at the time. I did not had any problems since then, both with real TSAL from mouser and probably fake ones from aliexpress.
I hope you will like this board when you receive it!
True, no current limiting resistor in that configuration for IR LEDs. One of my previous version had one and IR signal was quite dim. By having 7 LEDs the current in each one is actually quite low, and they are only ON for a few micro seconds. I have been using this specific configuration for 3 months now (breadboard to various prototypes) and no burned LEDs so far.
It may differ for other IR LEDs, but TSAL series is pretty resilient and by using 7 LEDs it can take up a few amps without any problem. (If you do the calculations you will find that you could add a 5ohm resistor to limit to 100mA, or 2.5ohm for 200mA, so as you can see it's safe to skip)
Even using ONE regular (visible light) LED for a quick test to send a signal is actually ok, but leaving it on for more than 5s is sufficient to burn it. Having all seven LEDs, they were still working after 1 minute being ON, which is already far from any real case use.
Thanks @hek , yes I did saw it. I did try to port it to work on ESP8266 with IRremoteESP8266.h but without success so far.
That's totally why my first point is "be able to record, save and reuse an IR code without editing the code. Plenty of EEPROM space to store data", which is what this sketch was able to do. I have the feeling that someone that know what he is doing can probably do it easily, but for me it's a nightmare.
Arduino sketch is really basic and even if it works perfectly for me, there is probably a way to improve it greatly.
On top of my head it would be good to
But I do not know how to do this (even if it's possible).
If you are interested in improving this code shoot me a private message, or answer here. I have a few extra PCBs from a previous version that I will gladly send for free to anyone willing to improve this device software.
Was modified in 2.1.1, you need to change
metric = getConfig().isMetric;
to
metric = getControllerConfig().isMetric; // was getConfig().isMetric; before MySensors v2.1.1
Glad to see you have it working!
Let me know if something was unclear in the instructions or if it can be improved to prevent people to solder them flipped.
Ah yes right.
For non-smd they both have the same pinout, so you should be able to design it using the regular footprint, and then just plug a PA+LNA module in the header.
