    • RS485 FOTW! (Firmware over the wire)

      Re: OTA Programming over wire ? ๐Ÿ™‚ (RS-485)

      I can confirm this can be done. I had all sorts of trouble with compiling bootloaders and ended up using the precompiled sensebender micro bootloader (which uses pin 8 for CS (SS) activation of SPI memory). The way around this for now was moving the rs485 to the hardware serial port and disabling all debug output. I went with a 3.3 Arduino Pro Mini and level shifter for the MAX485 module (thats all i have here). I've done 3 firmware updates over the wire using MYSController and so far am impressed with the results. I would like to compile a new DualOptiboot and move the SS pin but can't seem to make this happen.

      Very messy breadboard, but just for an idea.

    • RE: ๐Ÿ’ฌ Building a wired RS485 sensor network

      @wimd Thanks mate! That topic was just what I was looking for. Works perfectly with defining a node ID!

      Just added this to my sensor node:

      #define MY_NODE_ID <X>
      

      and everything came together. Thank you for your quick reply.

    • RE: [solved] RS485 nodes stop sending data after some hours or days

      @rejoe2 - have you received the CAN modules yet? Iโ€™m very interested to see how they go

    • RE: [solved] RS485 nodes stop sending data after some hours or days

      @pjr that sounds promising. My Serial gateway and one node ran for months with no problems. Iโ€™ve since added a node in between the two and thatโ€™s when I started having issues. Removing resistors on the middle node (terminating, pull-up and pulldown) and removing the pull-up and pull down on the end node seem to have fixed the issues for now however when I added an extra 20m to the cable run I started having issues again. Iโ€™de Love to get this network working 100% but I think a lot persistence and patience is needed! ๐Ÿ™‚

      @pjr Is the network still operating ok? Curious to see if anyone has it fully operational as of yet.

    • RS485 support possible

      Re: MYSBootloader 1.3.0-beta.3

      Thank you for all of your hard work on this project! Iโ€™ve used the boot loader and had successful OTA updates using the nrf24l01. Would adding RS485 support to the MYSBootloader be possible or is that not practical? Regards.

    • RE: OTA Programming over wire ? :-) (RS-485)

      Did you ever get this feature working on the RS485 transport @Redguy ? I'm also building a rs485 mysensors network and would love to know how you went.

    • RE: openHAB 2.0 binding

      I would like to attempt the irrigation controller with this binding, I believe the "light" thing is used. This only has channels: Status, Battery, LastUpdate. Is it possible to add more channels to the light thing ?, ie: V_VAR1 ... V_VAR3, regards.

      Hey @maghac - just wondering how you got the 12V to your fitting? have you got a transformer in the ceiling above ? Regards, mick
