These postal companies, having the monopoly for postal services became pimps, picking pockets for their good.

@mfalkvidd said in Unable to add node - more than 2:

which debugs are necessary?

MY_DEBUG or MY_DEBUG and MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RF24?

pw44

@mfalkvidd i really like the concept, but having troubles by trying more than 2 nodes is simply ridiculous.

I'm not finding out how to solve it.

i have 3 nodes. all works, but only 2 at a time. clearing the eeproms and flahsing again, it's like the 2 fastest. in any order. but only 2.

@mfalkvidd
thx for answering.

all use the same radio channel: 72

the problematic node was working before.

original: esp8266 gateway + 4 binarys sensor node + weather station node - all ok, no problem
by trying to add the 6 binary sensor node, this new node was never added.

clearead all gw + 3 nodes - eeprom.

now: esp8266 gateway + 4 binarys sensor node + 6 binary sensor node - all ok, no problem
the weather station node, which was working before, does not get added.

seams that by node 3, it gets refused.

Hya,

i have a esp8266 gateway and had 2 nodes - one with 4 binary sensor (door/window) and one weather station

Both nodes works very well with the gateway.

By trying to add a 3rd node, did not work. the 3rd node, a 6 binary sensor (door/window).

By last resource, i cheared the eeprom of all devices, 3 nodes and the gateway and flashed all again.

Now, i have 4 binary sensor and 6 binary sensor recognized by the gateway and the weather station not being included.

Yes, all are using the same radio channel.

No, no hardware was modified.

Is there any limitation?

Any hint of what can be done?

Thx in advance.

pw44

@mfalkvidd may this problem be related with eeprom stored vars?

i will clear the eeproms and flash gatewayand nodes again.

pw44

@mfalkvidd ok, but does it have any influence by node being recognized by gateway?

pw44

@mfalkvidd well, neither my build gateway or the two working nodes have MY_NODE_ID and MY_PARENT_NODE_ID.

in one of the posts, one user claimed not being able to include a node, but was able to do it by defining those https://forum.mysensors.org/post/36819.

so, the question is if those are necessary by having the gateway and nodes, and how to use it?

shall i define MY_NODE_ID 0 to the gateway and AUTO do the nodes, by MY_PARENT_NODE_ID, or MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0 to the nodes?

yes, maybe stupid questions, but i didn't realize, as i have one gateway and two nodes working and a third one not being registered, even with some nrf24l01 replaced.

pw44

@mfalkvidd ok, i did, and did not understand how it works, that's why i asked.

pw44

@mfalkvidd

what are these for?

#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0

#define MY_NODE_ID 21

Thx!

pw44

@mfalkvidd with linux i'm very confortable... screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600

pw44

@pw44 any hint in how to?

pw44

Hya,

correct me if i'm wrong.

To make use of this, two units must be built. One for node and other for gateway.

Is this undestanding correct? If not, how to use nRF24DoctorGateway and nRF24DoctorNode?

Thx in advance.

pw44

@mfalkvidd the two other nodes are as close as this third, and are being recognized.

How to get the gateway's log?

by telnet gateway's ip 5003? or is there any other way without pluging to the arduino ide and opening the serial monitor for debug?

Regarding "But it could be a problem with the radio or the antenna", it happened with 3 different nrf24l01 (no extendal antenna).

Thx in advance

pw44

Hya,

some time ago i've built a 8266 gateway, a weather station and a binary sensor ( for 4 door/window) and it's working well.

Today i´ve bult another binary sensor (door/window) with 6 sensors.

But no way it get's recognized.

as i understand, radio does not connect.

The radio definitions are the same:


// Enables and select radio type (if attached)
#define MY_RADIO_RF24
#define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL   (RF24_PA_MAX)                                 // RF24_PA_MIN = -18dBm  RF24_PA_LOW = -12dBm RF24_PA_HIGH = -6dBm RF24_PA_MAX = 0dBm
#define MY_RF24_CHANNEL   (1)  // RF channel for the sensor net, 0-125.

and gateway and this new device are 1 meter far fom another.

Any hint of what could avoid the connection?

The capacitor i've used for the nrf24l01 is a 10uF 25V

Thx in advance.
