@maman Try to downgrade to 2.0.0 if you are using any newer lib.
The newer libs over 2.0.0 does not work for my esp8266 mqtt gateway either.

Yeitso

So there is no option yet to order complete boards with components in place from manufacturarer? Or am i not getting openhardware correct. Order 10 PCBs will just get me the pcb right?

Yeitso

Could you please update the BoM? only some resistors atm.

Yeitso

Thank you, so did I and it works.

Will open a ticket on github with this find and hopefully the devs will be able to recreate and fix the issue.

Yeitso

That define is to turn on high power mode if you have a rfm69hw

I sill have

#define MY_RADIO_RFM69

So radio is define but not in high power mode.

Yeitso

After using lowpowerlabs example sketches "Gateway.ino" and "Node.ino" I now know that the radios work. and at a nice range as well. But they are not HW.

That being said even if I remove #define MY_IS_RFM69HW I'm still getting this issue.

Yeitso

Riiight so when inspecting the radios I have I notice that the H on the back is not ticked. There might be an issue that the seller have sent me the wrong radios.

But removing the define #define MY_IS_RFM69HW did not help.

If one where to run the RFM69W as a HW would that damage the chip?

Yeitso

Na thats not it either It seems. Still getting the same errors.

Ran EEPROM clear on both gateway and node.

Change lib from 2.1.1 to 2.1.0 and reluploaded the sketches (with the addition of #define MY_NODE_ID 1 to the node sketch)

Right so I'm getting nowhere with this. The Gateway is running this sketch:

 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Henrik Ekblad
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The ESP8266 MQTT gateway sends radio network (or locally attached sensors) data to your MQTT broker.
 * The node also listens to MY_MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX and sends out those messages to the radio network
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs in your sketch
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
 *
 * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.
 * nRF24L01+  ESP8266
 * VCC        VCC
 * CE         GPIO4
 * CSN/CS     GPIO15
 * SCK        GPIO14
 * MISO       GPIO12
 * MOSI       GPIO13
 *
 * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
 * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
 * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
 * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
 * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
 * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
 *
  * Inclusion mode button:
 * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
 *
 * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!

 * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

All hardware is new and I have triple checked the connections on the radios on both devices.
Both sketches where running fine but I needed to update the gateway to add a mqtt password and when doing so I wen from using a early version (2.0.1 I think) to the newest lib (2.1.1) and after this I'm not getting this to work at all. My first problem was listed in the first post here. for some reason I had presentNode in the presentation (no idea why) but that didn't work. after removing that it worked as usual. except it was note receiving any data.

And I thought, hmm might need to update my sensor. So I did. And at the same time I erased the EEPROM-Config on both the ESP8266 and on the Arduino running the node.

But avail not working. Now I have two single core threads that are exactly 82.2mm long and a 10uF cap mounted on the radio with a ESR of 0.6Ohms.

Can anyone please help me? What am I doing wrong. I cannot find whats wrong from these logs.

Yeitso

Now I got a different issue. while updating to a new sketch and using a the newest lib I cannot get the damn radios to work. I have built a entire new setup with new hardware both node and esp8266 mqtt gateway (using a binary sensor node) but I'm only getting fails when the node tries to locate the gateway in the presentation. And no reaction on the gateway either.

I tried using a Uno with the example serial gateway with a level adjuster in-between my rfm69hw and the uno and the only thing I changed in the sketch was to use rfm69 as a radio. and still nothing. gone thru 6 different radio pcbs and none of them work

I got a 470uF cap (I know its a little big but it was the smallest one I had) on each radio between 3.3V and GND and a 8.2cm wire from the antenna.

I see now thou that you say not to use a multi braided wire for antenna so this might be the issue I guess. But the node and the gateway was working fine with this antenna before the update.

also I have cleaned the eprom before the update just in case.

presentNode();

This was the culprit.

getting weird errors with my gateway. Right after it starts it spams "mygateway1-out/0/255/0/0/18"

After a while it crashes and reboots the ESP8266.

Im using this hardware:

Wemos d1 mini
RFM69HW
DHT-11

and this sketch:

 *******************************
 *
 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Henrik Ekblad
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The ESP8266 MQTT gateway sends radio network (or locally attached sensors) data to your MQTT broker.
 * The node also listens to MY_MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX and sends out those messages to the radio network
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs in your sketch
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
 *
 * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.
 * nRF24L01+  ESP8266
 * VCC        VCC
 * CE         GPIO4
 * CSN/CS     GPIO15
 * SCK        GPIO14
 * MISO       GPIO12
 * MOSI       GPIO13
 *
 * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
 * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
 * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
 * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
 * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
 * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
 *
  * Inclusion mode button:
 * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
 *
 * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
 *
 * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

Any help why? I just updated this sketch with added mqtt username and password and added the node id and added the RFM69HW line.
Also my lib is newly updated to 2.1.1

The sketch was running fine on the device before this reupload with the mentioned changes.

Yeitso

aah. Then I will have to run it from a 3.3V pro micro need 3 interupt pins for this sketch

Thank you for the answer!

Yeitso

Im runnig a BinarySwitchSleepSensor.ino file with some edits to make it work with a RFM69 but alas im not getting what i want

Here is the code im using (on a Uno with the level adjuster to get 3.3V)

Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

Yeitso

Yeah im gonna try to switch to adafruits lib. Atm im using the one from mysensors.

Yeitso

I can also add that the room in measuring is quite cold. Like about 13-16 degrees so its not only a decimal error.

I might have a faulty DHT11 module but im not shure.

Yeitso

Hi

Im trying to get my ESP8266 MQTT Gateway with a locally attached DHT11 sensor to work and I almost got it.

My problem is that the temp im reading is waaaay off. See screenshot

Serial monitor

Any help would be appreciated.

The sketch im using is this:
