    • Connection Failure

      Hello,

      two months ago, I tried to start with MySensors, without the tiniest success ๐Ÿ˜ž I tried to get some help here, without any reaction. Quite sad. But now I tried it almost from scratch - still without success, but maybe now someone can help me?

      I bought new NRF24+ modules from itead. The forum somewhere claimed that they would most likely not send faked modules. Did cost a good bit more than the ones from E-Bay... who knows?

      The gateway NRF24 is powered using an LM317. The oscilloscope shows no ripple at all.

      The node has a 22ยตF Capacitor across VCC/Gnd and is configured as a pure Repeater. No additional hardware.

      I updated to MySensors 2.2.0. The gateway is found in FHEM and I start the inclusion (using FHEM). The FHEM log tells me:

      2018.01.28 15:16:52 1: 192.168.178.3:5003 disconnected, waiting to reappear (MySensors.Gateway)
      2018.01.28 15:16:57 1: 192.168.178.3:5003 reappeared (MySensors.Gateway)

      A look at the repeaters log and I'm completely puzzled:
      806 TSF:MSG:FPAR OK,ID=0,D=1 Find parent response from node 0 is valid, distance 1 to GW

      \o/ Party! Finally it works! ... but wait. A few (successful) messages later:

         10092 !TSM:ID:FAIL	
         10093 TSM:FAIL:CNT=1	Transition to Failure state, consecutive failure counter is 1
      

      I could v*mit, excuse my language. To me it seems that the communication is ok, but there's still some error that I don't understand. Isn't there anybody who could help me? Pretty, pretty please?
      I have a photo of the system attached. In the background, you see the gateway, in the foreground the repeater:

      Any help will be very much appreciated, as you can imagine after two months without success...

    • RE: NRF24+ Module: Spontaneous 5A heating mode?

      Hello @Technovation,

      as embarrassing as it is: you are completely right ๐Ÿ˜Š . For more than 30 years, I've either used elkos (where I know they have a polarity) or ceramic capacitors (which don't have one) or used the correct polarity by accident and was completely baffled when I learned that tantalum capacitors have a polarity. It doesn't help that the only indication is so non-descript...

      Well, you never stop learning. I'm looking forward to much more stable mysensors ๐Ÿ™‚

      And I apologize for blaming the NRF24 modules and the shops for my ignorance.
