Hey,

Just for information: I solved all my problem ny soldering. Don't know if this is the breadboard or the Dupont wire jumpers, but with wires soldered, everything is working now

Your problem report also reminds me to problems other users had with their LAN-GW's. For them afaik downgrading the board definition for the nanos (not the IDE) to version <=1.6.11 helped a lot. You might give that a try...

Ok, I don't really understand yet what is the board definition version, but I will try. Thank you

Hey there,

How can I know which Arduino Nano are good for MySensors?
Mine are from Banggood and the serial output seems to be chaotic.

I have one from Gravitech and it seems to be ok…

How to choose? In the MySensors store, this is clone form Asia like mine from Banggood…

Did you try adding a larger capacitor on the radio?

Yes, but still the same.

I grab another Arduino Nano (not sure it's a guenuine one) and the serial output is correct! The sensor can not find the gateway, but this is another story

Do you know why some Arduino Nano V3 "compatible" will not work?

Hello,

I tried with two spares modules and I am still stuck with this curious behaviour.

@sundberg84 I swapped Nano between the gateway and the sensor and this bug always occurs with the sensor sketch. I have spare radio modules, so I will try with another one, thank you for this suggestion

I use the 3v3 output of the Arduino to power the radio module

@sundberg84 I use Arduino Nano V3, breadboards and NRF24L01+ with a 4.7 µF capacitor. For debugging, a use USB port from my computer or RaspberryPI. I tried with a USB charger for cellphones, and nothing seems to change (but I am blind without serial )

About software, I use Arduino IDE v1.8.5 and MySensors v2.1.1.

@guilou First, I can not see the serial output you tried to link, the log parser page remains blank.

That is weird, on my computer all links are ok.

Anyway, I tried to disconnect/reconnect the Arduino without reflashing the sketch, and I have still the same behaviour: the output stops, and at the same time the Arduino change its port…

76 TSM:INIT:TSP OK
97 TSM:INIT:STATID=10

The "14" on a single like lets me think the serial communication is interrupted at this exact point.

I tried other cables and power source without any success.

Hello,

I have two Arduino Nano and I just want to build a domotic system with Home Assistant and MySensors.
So, I build a serial gateway with one Arduino, just by copy/pasting the documentation example. By reading the debug, I think it's quite good.

For the sensor, my code is:

// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
#define MY_DEBUG 
#define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600

// Enable and select radio type attached
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
//#define MY_RADIO_RFM69

#define MY_NODE_ID 10

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensors.h>

#define CHILD_ID 3

const int buttonPin = 3;    // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13;      // the number of the LED pin

// Variables will change:
int ledState = HIGH;         // the current state of the output pin
int buttonState;             // the current reading from the input pin
int lastButtonState = LOW;   // the previous reading from the input pin

// the following variables are unsigned longs because the time, measured in
// milliseconds, will quickly become a bigger number than can be stored in an int.
unsigned long lastDebounceTime = 0;  // the last time the output pin was toggled
unsigned long debounceDelay = 50;    // the debounce time; increase if the output flickers

MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID, V_TRIPPED);

void setup() {
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

  // set initial LED state
  digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);

  Serial.begin(MY_BAUD_RATE);
}

void presentation() {
  //sendSketchInfo("TestSketch",  "1.0");
  // Register binary input sensor to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  // You can use S_DOOR, S_MOTION or S_LIGHT here depending on your usage. 
  // If S_LIGHT is used, remember to update variable type you send in. See "msg" above.
  present(CHILD_ID, S_DOOR);  
}

void loop() {
  // read the state of the switch into a local variable:
  int reading = digitalRead(buttonPin);

  // check to see if you just pressed the button
  // (i.e. the input went from LOW to HIGH), and you've waited long enough
  // since the last press to ignore any noise:

  // If the switch changed, due to noise or pressing:
  if (reading != lastButtonState) {
    // reset the debouncing timer
    lastDebounceTime = millis();
  }

  if ((millis() - lastDebounceTime) > debounceDelay) {
    // whatever the reading is at, it's been there for longer than the debounce
    // delay, so take it as the actual current state:

    // if the button state has changed:
    if (reading != buttonState) {
      buttonState = reading;

      // only toggle the LED if the new button state is HIGH
      if (buttonState == HIGH) {
        //send(msg.set(buttonState == HIGH ? 1 : 0));
        
        delay(1000);
        ledState = !ledState;
        Serial.print("State = ");
        Serial.println(ledState);
        send(msg.set(ledState));
      }
    }
  }

  // set the LED:
  digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);

  // save the reading. Next time through the loop, it'll be the lastButtonState:
  lastButtonState = reading;
}

The serial output is like this.

But something weird happens just after this serial reading. The USB seems to be disconnected and then reconnect to another ttyUSB. So I can't read all the serial at once. I tried to lower the baud rate, as you can see, but there is still the bug.

I tried to swap Arduino, change USB port, change USB cable and there is still this strange behaviour.
Do you know why?
