How to upgrade from 0.0.3-alpha1 to 0.0.3.Alpha2

Note: Upgrade supports from 0.0.3-alpha1. Older than this release will not support for upgrade.

Before moving to 0.0.3.Alpha2 version,

• Take a backup (1)
• Stop 0.0.3-alpha1 server
• Extract 0.0.3.Alpha2
• Restore backup from (1)

Steps to take backup:

• Navigate to Settings -> Backup.

• Click on Settings. add location where you want to keep backup files. save
  

• Click on Run backup
  

Steps to restore:

• after backup completed successfully. Stop MyController from command line
• Now extract MyController 0.0.3.Alpha2 version on different location.
• Start new version of MyController
• Configure backed up file location on our new installation
• Now old backup file will be listing in our new installation
• Click on the file and run restore in action
  
• after successful restore change mycontroller/conf/mycontroller.properties manually compare to latest version
• start the server manually from command line.
• After successful migration compare and change your mycontroller/conf/mycontroller.properties file with latest file.

Enjoy

Just sharing my experience with MY_RFM69_MODEM_CONFIGURATION

IMPORTANT: We should not use brockets() when defining MY_RFM69_MODEM_CONFIGURATION,

Wrong way: #define MY_RFM69_MODEM_CONFIGURATION (RFM69_FSK_BR55_5_FD50)

Right way: #define MY_RFM69_MODEM_CONFIGURATION RFM69_FSK_BR55_5_FD50

Why? Check this, actually configuration values are defined as an array.

@skywatch @mfalkvidd Thank you for your comments.

I am using Moteino R4 and RFM69 connected to hardware SPI pins. I tried the same pin with softSPI, but I could not get success.

Now I have altered the ADE7763 Arduino library to update SPI settings on every call. And added code to update the only flag on ADE7763 interrupt(like we have in RFM69_new library). Seems all look somewhat ok.

I think for RFM69 we use a default clock speed. for ADE7763: SPI_CLOCK_DIV4

Are you using pull up resistors on the CS lines to each device - that might be worth a try too....

Yes, I have

@Velo17 List of providers supported by MyController is https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/tree/1.4.0.Final/modules/core/src/main/java/org/mycontroller/standalone/provider

You can extend your own or you can follow one of pre-defined. let me know if you need further assistant.

@andmaster Thank you for your patience!
Do you see any error in mycontroller/logs/mycontroller.log?
Can you trigger mycontroller/bin/start.sh manually?

After some days, internet connection disconnected(identified via SIM800L LED blink status), but still, ESP says all ok. I lost communication from controller too.

I did a hard reboot of ESP8266, all back to normal.

@thucar Great work! Thank you!
I am using MY_GATEWAY_TINYGSM from a month ago. I face Gateway hangs after a week and it needs a hard reboot(Power OFF and ON). Are you facing any issue similar to this?

My Hardware details:

• ESP8266 (ESP-12E)
• RFM69HW
• SIM800L

To power up GSM modem I am using 1500mA 18650 battery with charger board.

Can you share your hardware details?

My Hardware: Moteino R4, ATMEGA328P + RFM69HW

I have an issue when communicating with an additional SPI device. I have ADE7763 energy monitor SPI chip which operates on low clock speed.

When I read data from ADE7763, I reconfigure SPI settings as follows,

ADE7763 CS pin connected to D9.

void loop() {
  updateVoltageCurrentData();
  .....
  .....
}

void updateVoltageCurrentData() {
  SPI.beginTransaction(SPISettings(SPI_CLOCK_DIV4, MSBFIRST, SPI_MODE1));
  uint8_t status = ADE_sampleRMS(&vrms, &irms); // reads VRMS and IRMS from ADE7763
  SPI.endTransaction();
}

This settings working ok, but after some time, this particular node lost from RF network. Looks like RFM69 SPI settings corrupted.

Any recommended way to communicate with additional SPI device?

@prakhar-birla I do buy in Aliexpress, you can see some of the links in https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio

@prakhar-birla Yes, I am using in my house. I see a good range between concrete walls.
I was using NRF24L01+ Chinese version and was facing range issue. I used to have Gateway for each floor.
But now only single gateway with RFM69HW.

I have replaced RFM69HW with NRF24L01+ couple of weeks ago. I am just experimenting with coverage with RFM69HW. So far I do not face any issue.
