Yes, I tried it several times, unfortunately I don't have another Arduino to test. But it seems to be a power issue after all, when running on a different PSU with more current and more stability it works just fine.
It's very weird that it consistently did that tho, you might be right and something is wrong with the EEPROM.
Thanks for the help anyway
So,
I have an NRF24L01 (the one with the PA and SMA antenna) gateway. After much frustration, I got it working with a pool temp sensor works fine, no issue at all.
Now I want to add a simple node with an LED out, this is on a pro micro running on 3.3v at 8MHz.
I tried a lot of things and I could not add it to the network, then I amongst a lot of troubleshooting I wiped the EEPROM.
After re-flashing the original sketch, the sensor presented itself and I could communicate with it, success. Except that if I power it down (or reset it) it doesn't reconnect (fails to find a parent, gateway receive the request and send a response tho).
The thing is that I have no clue where this is coming from, the node can clearly communicate after an EEPROM wipe (I can send a V_STATUS message, and it turns on/off the LED with no issues ) , so in my view it's ruling out power and range issues
I've also tried to set a static node id and parent node id with
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0
#define MY_NODE_ID 5
These have no effect, like absolutely none the node stills searches for a parent (the node id itself seems to work tho)
I'm at a complete lost so if you want to dive in here are my logs:
Gateway: https://hastebin.com/ehimahunum.txt
Node: https://hastebin.com/kiguyojuxi.txt
Node with RF24 verbose: https://hastebin.com/isiliyuzow.txt
Thanks in advance for you help
Ok, I've just moved to a esp8266 based gateway with the following code: https://paste.thestaticturtle.fr/furekuhege.cpp and I've added an inclusion button and can now connect the two by spaming the inclusion button an resetting the node. the sensors also showed up in homeassistant. Now the problem is that if I don't keep spaming the button after 60sec I no longer receive values from the nodes
Ok i've updated my node to 2.3.2 here's the new log: https://paste.thestaticturtle.fr/tizukamafo.rb
And sorry here's my node code: https://paste.thestaticturtle.fr/ziluwogide.cpp
However, you said that the gateway dosn't communicate with the sensor that isn't true with myscontroller I can send a Discover message and the node receives it, it seems that only the path from the sensor to the node isn't working
I've recently built my Raspberry Pi based gateway and a simple temperature sensor based on an arduino uno. Both use nrf24l01 (provided by lcsc) with caps and an am1117-3.3 regulator as far as I can read the logs indicate that the modules are connected and working. I use myscontroller (v1.0.0beta build3316) for testing and when I press discover the sensor says that it received the message.
Here is the sensor log: https://paste.thestaticturtle.fr/ezasulirol.rb
Here is the gateway log: https://paste.thestaticturtle.fr/qimazocuho.rb
Is there an assosiation process that I've missed ?
