I have called the measurement function now inside the loop function (that is way better of course), and changed the third wait argument to V_TEMP. That works.

I had a request in the code, but commented it out, it was like: request(CHILD_ID_TEMP, V_TEMP); because I was not sure if it is needed.

Thanks for your help!

I have a question regarding the --my-serial-groupname option: since I start the gateway under an user account with sudo, the gateway device ([EDIT] symlink) will be created with ownership root:root. Shouldn't it be created with root:dialout (as I chose dialout as group in my case)?

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I got some packages in the mail, including 4 Sensebenders, and some other parts. I wanted to start on a small scale and try to connect a node with a serial gateway, since everything is new for me!

I uploaded the (example) serial gateway sketch to an Uno clone, with a NRF24L01 attached to it, and also the (example) SensebenderMicro sketch to the Sensebender (with a Foca FTDI serial adapter), also with a NRF24L01 attached.

Looking at the serial monitor of the gateway, this is the output:

Looking at the Sensebenders output:

Did I miss a simple setting to do in the sketches? It took a while until I am this point, to ask this question :smiley: My wife asked me again why I don't have a simple hobby like playing tennis.

@martinhjelmare It works now! I think it is a hardware issue I have here, since I just put the decoupling capacitor in between the radio and the pin header socket. Checking that connection helped (pushing again in), and the presentation was correct now - including the sketch name.

Adding a capacitor at the radio solved my issues... Sorry for not trying that from the very beginning, today I bought some capacitors, and now it looks good!

Happy now!

@martinhjelmare OK, It was not an update, since when booting the gateway device from my backup drive I have the same radio problem. So I'll have a look onto that. The gateway is installed on a Raspberry Pi 3, powered by the 'normal' micro USB adapter. I could exchange the capacitor on the radio there as a start.

[EDIT] Solved, just 'touched' the capacitor and wobbled around on the gateways radio, and radio communication works again. Sorry for the confusion...

Thanks, had the same problem!
