@Boots33
One more question: The closed door with a lock symbol. Is that door just closed or closed AND locked?

I will probably wait with this main question since it seems to be related to an beta update.

Hi

I have a PCB board Idea that I plan to create. I would like to share my idea here and also will ask if some one is willing to pitch in on design ideas.

I seen 2 PCB boards that in different ways fits my needs. So my idea now is to make my own PCB by merging the main ideas of those two boards in a way that fits me.

The inspirational boards Im talking about.

Easy/Newbie PCB for MySensors
https://www.mysensors.org/hardware/newbie-pcb

My Slim 2AA Battery Node
https://www.mysensors.org/hardware/slim-node

My idea is to take some of the Dynamic/Basic/simple part from the Newbie node and make it a bit slimmer towards the Slim node.

In order to use a standard Arduino Pro mini Im going to use a wider cable duct as housing. Im planing on using a 25*16mm
http://www.clasohlson.com/se/Kabelkanal/Pr365306000

I was thinking about making the board about 23x100mm. I was hoping to manage to "panelize" the design so that I could get 3 PCBs from a single 100x100mm PCB.
My idea is to order my PCB from DirtyPCB, a protopack would then give about 30 pcbs for $16.95 plus shipping.

Im not sure if it will have to be 100mm long
I think I will have to use 90degrees female pin headers for the Booster in order to get the board not to become to thick.

I am an absolut noob at making PCBs, have only made one before. It was a MySensor PCB and it worked like a charm and it was really fun to make.

The image is just a test with loads of unused space. The Arduino part is a pro MICRO, a Adafruit version with same pinout if I have understod correct. I hope to find the time to make my own parts. Im using DipTrace to design the board.

Iv got many things that I dont know about this board.

• Width of different routes
• How to Panelise a board to 3 small board
• More...

If some one have some pointers on usual noob mistakes that would be great.

@kimot
Im using custom icon for my door, however, you can't use custom icon for the switchtype contact. At least not on v3.5877

@Boots33
Sorry didn't see the Contact type 2 positions up.
I see that the Door Contact has a lock on its icon. How does it look when your pysical door is open? Just gray?

I managed to change my PCB order, I saw that one of the updates to rev9 was the ability to use Pin 2 as GPIO instead of going to the Radio where it is unused. So now I have a order for Rev9 instead.

I will try to desolder the led or resistor and the voltageregulator.

Thanks for sharing your design.

Thanks for you answers!

@DavidZH
In this particular case I dont want to send data periodically. It is a Door/Lock node. I just want it to wake up when there is a change on one of the pins, run a Loop and then fall back to sleep.

If I could use more pins I could have 1 node monitor 2 doors/locks.

Will we see the result of your work (Multiple pin interrupts AND timed interrupts) her on mySensors later?

Would be great!

HMmmm...

I have presented the Switch as s_door.

  present(PRIMARY_CHILD_ID, S_DOOR);

My Message looks like this:

MyMessage msg(PRIMARY_CHILD_ID, V_TRIPPED);

I sould have written this in my first post but it was a quick post, sorry about that.

However, in Domotics i don't get Door Contact as Switch type, only Contact.
When I chose Contact, it says Open/Close but then I dont get to choose Icon, it only shows to arrows.
So to chose Contact kind of solved my problem but I like my Door Icon. =)

I see that @Boots33 uses V3.6765. I guess thats a Beta. I only uses Stable versions so the latest is v 3.5877

I Guess that it could be a new switch type but I would guess not. The strange thing is that I see that the switchtype Contact is not avalible on @Boots33 screen shot.

Thanks anyway for both answers.

Hi

I have trouble finding the right info about switch type for a door reed switch.

I have a node that detects door state and lock state.
However they both shows up in Domoticz as on/off, not open closed.

But in many Mysensors/Domoticz screenshots I see logs that has the words open/Closed instead.

I thought Iwould find the info here.
https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20
But that did not help.

So where do I find info on this subject?

This could also be a Domoticz question but I havent found a Switchtype in there that helps me with this.

I found this page:

http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/PinChangeInterrupt

Iv seen it on other places as well. Is there anyone here that is expert on Arduino and deep sleep/interrupt.

Is it possible to sleep the Node and then wake up and run a "send-data-loop" if there is a change on any pin. Not just pin 2 and 3 (Arduino Pro Mini)

//Peter

Hmmm... Ok...

I had only read that the boosters helpt to drain the battery completely, had missed that they "messed" with the radio.

It will be really interesting to see what kind of battery life I can get out of 2 or 4 AA batteries on different types of nodes.

When I look at the Specs for the Pro Mini board the supply voltage is 3.35 - 12v.
I guess that means that without a Booster 2 AA batteries wont be able to run the Pro mini for a long time at all.

Iv just orderd Rev8.

I have a primary question, might have a couple more later on.
In the info about the board it says:

"BAT: Short this if you are using batteries as power supply. It will activate booster circuit and feed the radio directly from the batteries and not voltage regulator"

It says about the same on the image of the board.

My question is. Why would I want to powewr the radio directly from battery and not from the Booster? Wouldent that make the radio not to function like it sould when the voltage dropps?

I having trouble to order this board from DirtyPCB.
Both the link in the beginning of this thread (Rev8) and the link in the OpenHarware page just directs me to an empty DirtyPCB order page, with no board preloaded. It wants me to upload files.
Does anyone know how to order from DirtyPcb without uploading the boardfiles?

Hi

Im starting to look into powering some nodes with battery.

I have been looking for a minimalistic code example with external interrupt but I cant seem to find one that I feel confident to adapt to my own needs.

I have a 2 switch node that works like a charm. The code is mainly (or was it completly) from this thread. 2 Reed switches 1 Arduino Nano

I will use the code/node to log a doors state Open/closed, Locked/onlocked.

I Would like for the node to sleep as "deep" as possible and when the state of either pin changes, run the code once (Check if the value on the door has change, if so send the data. Check if the value on the Lock has change, if so send the data.) then go back to deep sleep.

Will a deep sleep power of the Transiver?

Can anyone help me in the right direction?

Hmmm.... I guess this topic is kind of dead.

I tried to desolder the transiver but failed miserably (to much heat in frustration over that the thing would not come loose). So the PCB lost 2 solderpads. This means I cant go on with this hardware. I might toss the Arduino aswell, its solderd on all pins.

Well well...

I now have a different problem. =)

I now have a Arduino Uno, NRF24L01 and a 1-wire sensor.

The new Node seems to be running as it should but it doesnt get any respons from the gateway.
The Gateway is talking to my old Node with 3 sensors.

A thing that is a bit wierd is that i Updated the GW to version 2.1.0.
I thought that I would loose connection with my old Node that I belive is version 1.6 but those are running fine together.
The new node is the same version as the gateway.

This should probably be a seperate Topic but I feel bad for starting multiple topics so close together.

Since I did not even get garbage in the serial monitor I started with your second tips, adding the Debug lines.
I then got one single line of garbage in the serial monitor. Garbage even though I had baud set to 115200 in the serial monitor.

I then added the line

#define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600

I den got this:

Looks promesing but then it does not come any more serial prints.
Its wierd, I only got this serial print above when I program it. Not if I unplug/plug to the computer. Only when programming it.

If I program it again it stops at the same line. I guess that is some kind of "send/use the NRF24L0" line, am I right?

I probably should desolder it and test with a different NRF24L01. (Why didnt I solder a header instead of the NRF24L01 directly. =)

I know that this is probably the worst title for a Topic ever but I dont know where to start the debugging.

Controller: Domoticz on Rasp-Pi, up and running since years back.
Gateway: Serial-gateway, up and running since years back.
MySensors node with 3 18b20, up and running since years back.

The Gateway is updated to version 2.1, it is still receiving data from my old node so i know it is working.

I have now made a new node with 1 18b20 solderd to it. Iv uploaded the "DallasTemperatureSensor.ino" sketch unmodified. Kompiled, uploaded without a problem.

However, nothing happends. When I look in the serial monitor (115200 baud) nothing shows up, nothing.
I have uploaded a simple 1-wire sketch to the same arduino and it works as a charm so I know that the arduino -> 1-wire is working.

With the MySensors "DallasTemperatureSensor.ino" sketch the led on the arduino dimmly lights up a couple of seconds on/off.

Could a faulty NRF24L01 make this problem. The NRF24L01 is solderd in place so it was there when the simple 1-wire sketch was running smoothly. However that sketch of cause did not use those pins for anything.

Any tips?

Yes I understand. I'm not criticising your answer. But I guess that means that I cant program it at the moment. Because that would mean the transiver would start transmitting directly.

Hmmm... Unless I start with a 5-10 sec delay. =)
It is a temperatur sensor sketch. I could probably code a 10 sec delay in the void setup() section. It would be an ugly solution but probably would work. =)

But dosent it start the sketch directly after I flash it?

Hi quick question. Is it dangerous to power a transiver like the one in the picture with external antenna when the antenna is removed?

I have solderd the transiver to the arduino and need to program the arduino but I dont have the antenne here.

I belive that in some cases you can fry the transiver. What do you think?

Now it seems to work. Probably was the resetting of the node. Switching it from the power outlet to the computer.

However, sould I be woried that I will lose connection if I unplug the devices now? Because they are not exactly where I want them.
