@Yveaux Yes, I already solved this in this way temporarily.
@tekka Thanks for solving that bug!

Hello all,

I tried to convert the sketch from my relay node to the new version 2.0.x. In the setup() routine I set the state of the relay to off and sent the state to the controller. In version 1.5.4 worked this without problems. Now with version 2.0.0, it doesn't work anymore. It seems, that the node starts working just after setup() routine. Is there another possibility to run this command once after note setup/startup?

Hi David,

no I don't have any messages on the serial monitor. But I'm not sure if this is general problem. Because sometimes when I use the sensor only with USB power I don't see anything on the serial monitor either. But I can see that the sensor works as I get the correct messages on the gateway. Sometimes when I open the serial monitor the sensors stops sending (I assume that as I don't get any messages at the gateway).

Hello,

I want you to give a short update. Now I was able get the sensor with the RFC69 running. Now I use a coaxial cable, 17,2 cm long. I removed the electromagnetic shielding on 8,6 cm (Lamba/4). Furthermore I use 10 uF capacitor between 3,3V and GND for the radio. But now I have another problem. When I connect a 9V battery to VIN and GND. The power LED is on but the sensor doesn't work. The LED "L" shows weak light. It seems that the LED is blinking. Is current is not enough. But could that be?

Thanks in advance ...

I'm using 868 MHz. I try to use a bigger one ...
Do you think that the simple wire antenna could be a problem also?

Now I connected the gateway to the MYSController. And I was able to get a stable connection but only when I touch both antenna. My antenna is a 8,3 cm piece of wire. I read a something about that but I tought that this is solved with the capacitor. Is the value of the capacitor to less. How can I solve that problem?

Yes, the gateway is also a nano with RFM69. I'm using the SerialGateway sketch from the examples. I connected the radio to the 3,3 V pin of the arduino. As I mentioned I tried also to use a capacitor, without success. Do I need a gateway to test? Does the sensor request an acknowledge?

Hi David,

no I'm using the CW version. As I know I have to use isRFM69HW=false with this one, but I'm not sure.

Hello all,

I'm trying to build a sensor with an arduino nano and RFM69 radio. The serial monitor shows the following errors:

send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=15,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=fail:0
send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=0,t=17,pt=0,l=5,sg=0,st=fail:1.5.4
send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,st=fail:0

send: 1-1-0-0 s=0,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=fail:

send: 1-1-0-0 s=0,c=1,t=2,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=fail:1.0
send: 1-1-0-0 s=0,c=1,t=2,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=fail:1.0
send: 1-1-0-0 s=0,c=1,t=2,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,st=fail:1.0

I checked the wiring and I also tried to use a capacitor. Nevertheless I get always the same error. I think I can exclude a hardware error as I uploaded a sketch with a Jeelink clone and this works fine with my normal temperature sensors. I'm not sure if hava an logical error in my sketch:

MyTransportRFM69 transport;
MyHwATMega328 hw;
MySensor gw(transport, hw /, signer/);
MyMessage msgLight(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, V_STATUS);

void setup() {
//gw.begin();
gw.begin(NULL, 1, false, 0);
// Send the Sketch Version Information to the Gateway
gw.sendSketchInfo("Torstatus", "1.0");
gw.present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_LIGHT);
Serial.println("Setup done");
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
gw.send(msgLight.set(1, 1));
//Serial.println("Test");
delay(3000);
}

Does anyone have an idea, what the root cause of the problem could be and how I can investigate. Currently I have just the errors in the serial monitor.

Thanks!
Christian
