Hi, i printed ur boards, its cool thank you :-). However i'm having some trouble getting the radio working properly.
It only works good when i touch the antenna..

Im not using the ceramic 0.1uf cap. and the 10k resistor..
is the 0.1uf cap. needed for the radio to work stable?

And yes, im using the 4.7 - 47uF Capacitor (Elko)

Thanks again, every cool board

Nevermind i fixed it! had something to do with my radio...

Driving me nuts :-)

Hi,

I want to know if it is possible to upload firmware to a Bare ATMega328p working with MYSController (FOTA).
Im using the latest Mysbootloader from https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsBootloaderRF24

This is the result i get from the Bare ATMega flash (0A...FFFFF..)..
After a few tries it just continues normal booting procedure

I use this firmware also on an Arduino Pro mini where FOTA works.

Can someone give me some advice?

Thank you in advance.

Edit:
Just tried a fresh bare atmega, same result :-(

This is the boards.txt i'm using;

@Robbie_ Narrowed down the issue with domoticz, if i #define SERVICE_MESSAGES 1 in config.h domoticz crashes, if i put it back to 0 it stays online.

@user2684 Ive tested this morning a DHT22 without resistor between VIN & DATA, now it works correct. I reverted the changes back and just use the default code (1.3), everything keeps functioning. I don't understand why it works but hey, i got data! :-)

Somehow the following issue pops up with domoticz (also before the DHT22 was working), im not sure if anybody can help me here with it, else il open a threat at the domoticz forum. As soon ase NodeManager presents itself (via ESP8266 WiFi Gateway // MyS v2.1.0) to domoticz, domoticz goes offline. Does somebody else had the same experiance?

@user2684 Thanks for your reply. Ive tested the following;

i editted the NodeManager.cpp and added _dht->begin(); to the beginning of "SensorDHT::onLoop()"

I also disabled both debug, still the same issue.

In your other post you mentioned "Would you please ensure pin 7 is HIGH during the 10s sleep?"

My log looks as following;

Where do you want me to messure if the pin is on?

@bilbolodz said in NodeManager: plugin for a rapid development of battery-powered sensors:

wait(10000);

Thanks for the fast reply! Still the same issue;

@bilbolodz
So like this?

nodeManager.setPowerPins(6,7,10000);
nodeManager.registerSensor(SENSOR_DHT22,3);
nodeManager.setSleep(SLEEP,1,MINUTES);

Hi User2684,

As promised i took NodeManager for a spin. It functions well but i have an issue with powering a DHT22 from the digital pins. It just does not show any temp/hum. If i use the power from the battery it functions well.

Any clue what this could be?

I used setPowerPins6,7,10000 to be sure the DHT22 has enough time to start up. If i use my multimeter between pins 6,7 i see the voltage going to 3.something volts and to 0 when the 10000 miliseconds are gone.

My config is as following;

// before
void before() {
  // setup the serial port baud rate
  Serial.begin(MY_BAUD_RATE);  
  /*
   * Register below your sensors
  */
  nodeManager.setSleep(SLEEP,1,MINUTES); 
nodeManager.registerSensor(SENSOR_DHT22,3);
nodeManager.setPowerPins(6,7,10000);
  /*
   * Register above your sensors
  */
  nodeManager.before();
}

Cool stuff! was looking for a way to do some configuration of mysensors remotely!
Gonna give it a spin this week!
