Hi to @Greymarvel .Well i already seen this movie before. I bought diferent nrf24 nodes,amplifed ,not amplified,with or without capacitors. In fact i had worst redults with amp nodes. I just change to rfm69hw and w
. No more low power/high power...etc. now i got my 4000m2 terrain covered (around 80m long).
I didn't check max range but i never had lost a packet again. I was a very good increment on my network stability.
That fake nrf24 chips are crazy and unstable and yes,all ebay cheap nodes are fake second i know.

@rahokos download the file and change the extension from file to .fzz
for any reason it happens when i upload this file.

@gohan said in Arduino Pro Mini Shield for RFM69(H)W:

If I remeber right that pin is used as input so the RFM69 is not receiving any 5v signal. In addition there are people claming they have the RFM69 module working on 5v on data pins and 3.3v on vcc, but I hardly suggest to do it.

thank you just what i thought .
about direct 5v on data...well... i seen a big red sign saying n :DONT do it! lol
Level converters are so cheap...that i ordered 5 or 10 thoguether with rfm69 board.

sorry about hijack this topic, i though i was on general discussion

hi.i know that discoussion have some months ,buti'm only doing my rfm69 conversion from nrf24 ,now.
second this picture here, i can leave digital pin 2 from arduino direct to rfm69 d0 pin. Without anylevel converter when use a 5v arduino
is that true? will not fry because that?
i will use a ams1117 3.3v regulator for power rfm69c from my 5v pro minis

hello. like o wrote before my veralite dies after 4 years of work.
So now i'm on Domoticz.For the dead vera lite i recover the z-wave part. i had some doubts that it works but i have seen n razberry cards that the hardware its the same,so why not try.
I just cutted the 4 layers pcb and solder 4 wires on zm3102 chip directly(tx,rc,vcc and gnd). some hot glue and some nail polish /or epoxy to seal cutted sides.There are no working leds but how cares. and yea.I have an external antena . Everything fits inside vera case aswell(recycling on the best),raspbery,zwave card and mysensors GW.
in beginning domoticz didn't detect it like in official zwave cards ,there are some procedures to make before,but soon as setup button gets blue ,was just reset or exclude and then include nodes again on Domoticz. until now (24hours later) everything still work like a charm ,And let me say Domoticz is far more complete than mios os.

Second support,if it won't enters in recover mode(press reset and power it) its dead(defective unit) . Nice term for;buy another.
So i'm configuring Domoticz to give a try with mysensors.
About fibaro zwave devices i'm thinking reverse engenniering vera zwave module and connect it to domoticz. Its that possible?
Vera lite have the z-wave part at one corner of the board. And its a zw0302(3rt geneneration) and an EPROM. If i connect tx,rx,gng and vcc from the chip to raspberry,i have an zwave shield. Or will not work because zwave firmware on the z-wave chip?

I didn't know about razberry limitations. i only have fibaro 222 modules(windows outside aluminium shutters). And i only want that zwave module.The rest are mysensors sensors. Since i found them ,now i don't change the fact that i know how they work and how to repair it ,against the fact of buy already made and get stuck..like happens with vera know!

hi. my vera just died. i'm changing radios on my mysensors network,from nrf24 to rfm69 and when i connect a new gw with arduino 3.3 volts and new radio, serial port wont detect my gw,so i restart vera. it enters in a restart loop... it already happened a few months after one update, and i recover it by following this steps: http://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Firmware_Flash_VeraLite

but now after flash it with sucess (it says), restart,and no light at all. just flash all lights for a second when plug the power cable and then.... nothing.
no lights ,no response to reset and power in, no response to any ip.
Happend to any of you already? i think its really bricked and i have to move to raspberry and razberry(zwave shield)

thanks

Hi. i know that its 3 months + old discussion .but i only read now
i have the same problem,probably same time that hapens to you. my nrf24 modules between front gate and gateway stops comunicating at end of day.
My bet it that signal its already on limit ,(at 50m between gate and home), and at the end of day ,air humidity increase and signal just don't arrive. I already change antennas but signal strengh it's on limit and some days are worst than others.

Now i will change all my nrf24 for rfm69's (they arrive today) and try again at 868mhz and simple wire antenna(dipole).
Just for confirm; are the grownd plane from rfm69hw good enought? or i need something more than a piece of wire on ANA pin ?
