So from what I can read here this might not be a power issue after all?
This is the sketch I am using for the signal scanner:
/*
* The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
* between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
* The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
* repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
* network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

}
And this is how I compiled the gateway:
./configure --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=868 --my-gateway=mqtt --my-is-rfm69hw --extra-cxxflags="-DMY_RFM69_RST_PIN=29" --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mysensorsgateway1 --my-mqtt-user=mysensors --my-mqtt-password=redacted --my-port=1883
Any ideas how I can test mysensors 2.2 with the raspberry pi 4? From what I understand that version of the pi isn't supported until version 2.4 alpha?
