@GardenShedDev Hi, Yes cheap clones for me too. Vcc remains at 3.282v (external egulator) after having been away from it for 10 days, lipo battery is still at 4.08v, with it constantly trying to find a parent. Decent explanation though, I'm going to have to build another I think. Many thanks, Nigel

@Nigel31 Hello, if you have a message variable (msgSPFlag I guess ?) then you have the child ID in it in the destination property of the message.

@Nigel31 Maybe it's best to use the wait outside a while loop. With this I mean. Right now you're calling a function that does the resends within the same while loop - so basically it blocks the main loop. The only thing I can think of, is that MySensors doesn't get time to execute all it needs to do before you call the next request. So if you'd rewrite the code a little bit so it does all the requests in different execution of the main loop() method. It might work much better. As I do it in a MessageQueue I've written and don't have the problems you have. Also sometimes it takes a while before a node starts using the repeater. If it's close enough to the gateway to get some responses. Than - if understand correctly - it will not start using the repeater until the repeater sees x-time of failures.

@TheoL Are you willing / is it in a state where you can share your code? regards Nigel

@Njwyborn sorry, I don't know. If the stack is called recursively, something is seriously wrong and behavior is undefined I guess.

Upgrading to 2.3.2 has helped somewhat

@Yveaux Yes, that is what the sencebender gateway was for, so I could start with an easily swappable item, and the core of the network, however you might remember that I am having issues with sencebender gateway.. with no solution in sight. link text

Question. Would using the "ClearEepromConfig" sketch, do anything nasty to the sencebender gateway eeprom?

Update: The issue seems to be with the Mega Mini board. I managed to remove the Adafruit RFM69HW daughter board from the verroboard, and wired this to a Nano, and a Teensy 3.2. Both worked with the same PSU. The USB converter however is still giving garbage , no matter which of the three sources above. So I am in the belated process of porting code to the teensy as the target. Many thanks for the help to you all. Now, if I can only sort out my sensebender gateway problem....

Hi, Well progress, and questions ! When I started this with the Teensy3.2, I used a RFM69CW (smaller pcb) device, and ran into the problems as detailed above. As part of the troubleshooting, I part assembled a "EASY PCB" which I have, to enable, hopefully proving a different radio module (RFM69HW) which is my normal radio module, and attempt to "tight fit" a Pro mini to header pins on the board, to "prove" the radio. This was sucessful, as mentioned above. Using this proven radio / assembly, I removed the Pro Mini, and jumpered to the Teensy with dupont cables, which got the radio "working" in the sense that the transport succeeded, it just couldn't find the parent / gateway. I mentioned above the possibility of connecting the reset pin, as I had the origional bare RFM69CW already to go, I soldered another wire to the reset pad, and utilised this at the radio, commenting out the #define MY_IS_RFM69HW . and adding the #define MY_RFM69_RST_PIN 9 . I uploaded this, and it found, and presented to the GW / Controller.

I noticed however that in the Controller, each child presentation, including the MYSENSORS version was missing the last character. I have seen this sort of thing in entirely different situations with serial coms, baud rates mismatching slightly (due to processor speed dividing ratios), and I knew that out of the box, the teensy runs overclocked at 96Mhz, so I changed the speed of the processor, to 72Mhz, and uploaded, had the same results, Then I selected 48Mhz, and uploaded again, and Eureka, it all works. So in summary, I have wired in the Reset Pad to (in my case) Pin 9, and slowed the Processor to 48Mhz, and all is working. AFTER this, I have simplified the sketch, to be a incrementing count, in a txt field.

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't help you any further. If the tests in the sketch do not go any further, there is something wrong with the board itself...

Thank you all, the last offering is ideal. As it happens, it also covers the device I wish to use, for physical size and program storage capacity. Teensy' 3.2 Many thanks, look as I might I couldn't find it.

Hi. Power side switching.
