@sundberg84 , sorry, I meant I did not burn the bootloader and was not aware of that.

Did you mean "reset capacitator", not resistor?

And on that note, am I right that reset to iscp should go to DTS contact?

thanks for help.

@sundberg84 said in In Wall AC/DC Pcb (with Relay) for MySensors (SMD):

header?

No, I did not. I used to work with arduinos, so this is the first time I bought and try mega328p. could you advise where to find a resource with step-by-step instructions on that?

hi, I get constantly messages Arduino: 1.8.5 (Linux), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328P (5V, 16 MHz)"
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 7 of 10: not in sync: resp=0xde
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 8 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x4c
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 9 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x9d
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0xaa

is this hardware problem? I select Arduino Pro Mini board setting with AVRISP mkII programmer. are these ok?

@annujbhatia , did you manage to connect it right? I have the same challenge as I have 9 zones.

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ShiftOut should be the guidance I suppose

@mfalkvidd ,

I guess I am talking about software ACK's (though not sure).

But, as @itbeyond advised, I downgraded to 2.2.0, recompiled and problems dissapeared. Log is clean, NACK's no more.

@yveaux said in nrf24 : transmission of data works fine, but constant NACK's produced:

e

I kind of do not quite understand why it can be that transmission is reliable in my case within 25-30 metres distance (node and GW communicate reliably), but NACK's appear when distance is over 5-6 metres?

@mfalkvidd ,

I have no repeaters. I tried to experiment to answer your questions. I went to the ~15 meters distance where GW shows peristent NACK's.

I understand the normal scenario is, that node send a message, GW receives the message, GW send ACK to node, node receives ACK from gateway. it should be the end of transaction?

This is what a node shows for the same transmissions:

126184 TSF:MSG:ACK

message "226" - a node sent message, GW received it, GW sent ACK and node received ACK. Why GW entry shows NACK? What I am missing?

When we look at node entry "227", a node sent a message, GW did not receive it (there is no entry in GW log), so node did not receive the ACK from GW. this all makes sense.

Hi all,

I use arduinoUno as serial gateway, nrf24 for radios.

I find this strange, that overall reliable data transmission distance is probably ~30 meters, through the walls. so mysensors reliably send data to GW and actuators receive commands.

But I can not use ACK required feature, as in the logs I see systematically NACK's. for troubleshooting I used nrf24doctor sketches ( https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/9178/nrf24doctor )

So what I find is:

When I am at ~7m range, I nrf24doctor node shows no faults and gateway produces all nice log entries like this:

250;0;1;0;48;17
0;255;3;0;9;227401 TSF:MSG:READ,250-250-0,s=0,c=1,t=48,pt=3,l=2,sg=0:18
0;255;3;0;9;227408 TSF:MSG:ACK REQ
0;255;3;0;9;227418 TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-250-250,s=0,c=1,t=48,pt=3,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:18

But when distance increases by one-two meters, mesages are received, but the log on the GW consistently shows NACK's:
250;0;1;0;48;322
0;255;3;0;9;558810 TSF:MSG:READ,250-250-0,s=0,c=1,t=48,pt=3,l=2,sg=0:323
0;255;3;0;9;558817 TSF:MSG:ACK REQ
0;255;3;0;9;558856 !TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-250-250,s=0,c=1,t=48,pt=3,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:323

The same pattern stays when we increase distance further, - messages are received (within ~25-30 meters distance I find 1-2% of faults, but 99% messages go through).

So do I understand this right, that my node manages to deliver to gateway the message with payload, but fails to deliver the ACK? What could be explanation behind?

@Technovation , thanks for diagnostics tool. Could you help to interpret the results what I get?

When I am at ~7m range, I nrf24doctor node shows no faults and gateway produces all nice log:

250;0;1;0;48;17
0;255;3;0;9;227401 TSF:MSG:READ,250-250-0,s=0,c=1,t=48,pt=3,l=2,sg=0:18
0;255;3;0;9;227408 TSF:MSG:ACK REQ
0;255;3;0;9;227418 TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-250-250,s=0,c=1,t=48,pt=3,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:18

When distance increases, nrf24doctor node shows 1-2 percent of faults, but the log on the gateway consistently shows NACK's:

250;0;1;0;48;322
0;255;3;0;9;558810 TSF:MSG:READ,250-250-0,s=0,c=1,t=48,pt=3,l=2,sg=0:323
0;255;3;0;9;558817 TSF:MSG:ACK REQ
0;255;3;0;9;558856 !TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-250-250,s=0,c=1,t=48,pt=3,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:323

So do I read it right way, that my node manages to deliver to gateway the message with payload, but fails to deliver the ACK?

How that works? How do I understand results like this?

thanks,

Where to find a sketch with temperature read?

I see in logs, that the whole process of signing and communicating to the node takes a bit more than one second. I do not know how to make a stress test properly, so I hoped that somebody else did it my question is if gateway will handle load by putting messages in some pipeline, or I should try to make sure that messages are fired with some spaces.

Are there performance limitations to be considered for mysensors and SensebenderGW specifically. Will the gateway handle the load of signed communications if rules will be firing messages to different sensors like 1-2-5-10 per second?

@Anticimex yes, when I delete #include atsha driver line, it compiles well. thanks.

When I try to compile SensebenderGW sketch with signing features, I receive a bunch of errors. What am I missing?

and the same type of errors reoccurs multiple times.

@mfalkvidd , yes, I see. As I wrote in the first post I was using https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/development/examples/SecurityPersonalizer code.

I checked with the Personizer code in the Library examples - it does compile, thanks.

What I find a bit confusing - in the sketch in exampla library you have to make two keys - USER_SOFT_KEY and USER_KEY (when you do not use hw hashing, and when you do).

I have mixed configurations. Should those keys be the same in my network for mixed configuration to work?

thanks for help and sorry for confusion

@mfalkvidd I tested now on my windows machine with fresh install of arduino185. Mysenors library 2.1.1 , mysensors SAMD boards.

the same outcome

Hi,

it is very cool project. I assembled one but when I test it this is what I get:

Hi,

I developed mysensors actuator for controlling ventilation device (power on/off and speed). I use openhab as controller.

I would like to be sure that I notice if mysensors actuator become unresponsive. Please suggest how controller should recognize if actuator is unresponsive.

Thanks, I guess then it is more OpenHab group question, than general one?

@tbowmo works like a charm, thank you.

Is there a neat way to stop receiving messages temporarily in mysensors node? I have a node which must perform a routine of sequence of actions of roughly 5 seconds upon receiving a command. If another command comes when the routine is performed it produces unwanted side effects.

So I am looking for a method or workaround, which would allow when command is received to stop listening to radio, after the routine is completed - restart listening again.

Any advice?
