Is it possible to get solderless rfm69 with sma antenna like the nrf?
Thanks for your help.

I'm planning on using it inside a greenhouse sending on/off signals.
I've got a pretty bad reception trying it inside the greenhouse. maybe because of the humidity...I don't know.
I thought about using repeaters but before I do, I want to try using different radio...
What distance I can get with the 433 MHz..?

Hi,
I was working with this antenna:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/361690112043?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
and I can get the 1km distance they promised, but it got to be air distance. If I have one building in the way than it goes down to maybe 100 meter distance.
So I was recommended to use low frequency antenna. What is the best I can get?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm planning to connect the cable to a machine that has a 5 digital on/off sensors.
When the digital sensors is closed I can read 3v.
I'm planning using this cable:
http://www.allelectronics.com/item/10cs22/10-conductor-shielded-cable-w/drain/1.html
The cable will also provide power(12v) to the Arduino

Hey guys, I was wondering what is the maximum length of a shielded cable I can put between Arduino and the sensors?
thanks.

Well, turns out it does work. I wasn't far enough apparently

I have the same problem...How did you change it back to finding parent?
I'm using version 2.0, and I'm only using fixed ID's on the nodes

@tekka Omg tekka you're awsome!!
I did used the arduino eeprom_clr example, and when tried the ClearEepromConfig everything magically worked!
Thanks all!

@AWI Even when I try different sketches It just won't work...
Reverting back makes everything works again..
This what I get when I try 1 node with GatewaySerial sketch and 1 node with Relayactuator

I'm using the pingpongsensors sketch on both nodes

Everything was working fine, before I copied the new version to the arduino libraries
I tried the clear eeprom sketch without success.
When I try the pingpongsensors sketch I get this:

In the new dev branch we've got option to communicate via ethernet only, anybody know how to make it work on the controller side? how should I set the hardware?

nvm just found my answer here:
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4232/solved-gateway-without-radio-not-working-on-current-development-branch

Hi,
I'm trying to build network that based only on wired communication , and I was wondering if it possible with Mysensors.
I was doing alot of searching and everyone saying to remove this part "#define MY_RADIO_NRF24" from the dev branch, but when I do I'm getting this error:

WARNING: Category '' in library UIPEthernet is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
sketch\GatewayW5100.ino.cpp.o: In function `sendHeartbeat()':

C:\Users\mk55\Documents\Arduino\libraries\MySensors1/core/MySensorsCore.cpp:276: undefined reference to `transportGetHeartbeat()'

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Any help will be highly appreciated!

@hek said:

The dev branch supports this (2.0.0-beta).

Just remove the #define MY_RADIO_NRF24 from the gateway sketch..

When I try to remove the "#define MY_RADIO_NRF24" I'm getting this error:

plz help!
