    • Constant current high voltage dimmable led driver

      Hello everyone,

      I've been playing with MySensors mainly with relays, bounce door sensors and rgb led 12v driver.

      Today I would like to "MySensorize" a dimmable dual channel ceiling light I've just received.

      Here are some pics of these 2.4 Ghz led driver, providing 240mA@130-185V

      pic-1
      pic-2
      pic-3
      pic-4
      pic-5

      The receiver is on the yellow PCB and my goal is to find how to replace this specific part with an arduino.
      I've found it receives 5V DC

      The 2 channels correspond to 1 warm and 1 cold led strips.
      If I can find how to PWM the green board with your help, I will then work on code for piloting it with a dual monostable button (one for on-off-dimming long press and the other for switching between warm/cold/natural)

      The ceiling lights itself is this one

      it has a lot of spare splace so it's easy to include the arduino.

      Hope someone has ideas of how to PWM it.

      Thanks

    • RE: not working Ethernet Gateway (sensebender and/or nano gateway)

      @rafael156 said in not working Ethernet Gateway (sensebender and/or nano gateway):

      To the Sensebender Board with W5100+NRF24:

      • Sensebender can be flashed via Arduino IDE: Bootloader and Sketch
      • Note versions (work):
        Arduino IDE 1.6.13
        Arduino AVR 1.6.18
        Arduino SAMD 1.6.12
        MySensors SAMD 1.0.5
        MySensors Lib 2.3.1

      Thanks a lot ! ! !
      I've lost 2 days trying to understand why it was not working anymore while uploading the exact same sketch as before !

      Last release are not that stable finally.

    • RE: How to program Itead Rboard ? ISP ? FOCA ?

      @dirkb19
      Use Arduino 1.6.13 and not 1.8, it's a problem related to fuses with clones...

      You need to program with another arduino nano (or other) as ISP

      Then use the following:

      Duemilanove > 328P
      arduino as ISP
      plug the 7-19v Vin on the rboard

      You may also have to burn the bootloader
      And maybe need to press manually reset button on rboard, personally i don't need to.

      I've been struggling for a while with this board.

    • RE: MYSBootloader 1.3pre2 testing

      @pku if your keys are in the sketch everything will work for signing.
      #define MY_SOFT_HMAC_KEY XXX... //signing key
      #define MY_AES_KEY XXX... // if you use encryption
      Of course if you want to use whitelisting then you need to compile each node sketch separately with it's serial.

      @NiklasO
      Personally I set the node ID manually to avoid this
      #define MY_NODE_ID 30 // Sets a static id for a node
      And I group tens so all my 3X nodes are in kitchen, 4X in office, 11X in bedroom 1 and so on.

      I would love to see a proxy mode in MYSController, in order to interface between a controller that doesn't support OTA and an Ethernet gateway 😍

      Let say your LAN is the following:

      • MySensors gateway 192.168.0.1
      • controller (raspberry + Domoticz or else) 192.168.0.2
      • PC with MYSController 192.168.0.3

      Whenever you need to update a node, you launch MYSController but don't connect to the gateway, then you tells Domoticz .2 to connect to MYSController .3 instead of the gateway .1, at this point MYSController starts relaying everything between Domoticz and the gateway + provides you the ability to update a node.

      When you want to get back to normal operations, you set back 192.168.0.1 on Domoticz, MYSController receives a TCP reset and ends it's session with Domoticz and stop the session with the gateway.

      We would get a minimum downtime and can could use MYSController to update nodes and debug traffic while letting the normal controller...controlling

    • RE: MYSBootloader 1.3pre2 testing

      I can now gets dozen of packets at once, then hold, continues...depending of how I press the wires on radio side 😓
      It's a wiring problem, will try this weekend with a soldered node.

      Thank you

    • RE: MYSBootloader 1.3pre2 testing

      Just tried with this release, works great (had no problem with previous release)

      The only drawback is the packet bitrate, around 40 per minute with 45 bytes each.
      It takes 1h to flash a node. few minutes, just make sure of your wiring as this is a very intensive process compared to node's standard radio use.

      Here is a flash running on a test network:

      snip

      Can we update many nodes at the same time ? haven't tried
