you are using a 3.3v promini as a GW.... 2 questions...

1. how do you get the data from the promini into the RPI, how is that wired since the promini does not have an USB port...

2. the GW sketch you posted is designed for an arduino nano 16Mhz, if you use a 3.3v promini it needs run at 8Mhz... Try to make this change in the GW sketch to hardcode the 8Mhz feature. It might be that the cpu freq in the if statement is not picked up bt the compiler, so try with the if statements removed.

// Define a lower baud rate for Arduino's running on 8 MHz (Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V & SenseBender)
#if F_CPU == 8000000L
#define MY_BAUD_RATE 38400
#endif

Can you try an arduino nano + NRF24L01 as gateway, and connect it to USB (if you have one lying around)

Just as background info, my 1st mycontroller setup was an RPI 2b with an arduino nano on usb that acted as a GW... had this setup for years and it worked flawless, other versions of the SW, but still....

Hi!,

Strange, never seen these....

• How often do you see these messages?
• Since when do the show up? (aka what has changed)

Well, looking at the start and stop scripts, there is a test that looks if mycontroller is running..

ps -ef | grep "org.mycontroller.standalone.StartApp" | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'

so you could test if the line above returns the pid of mycontroller. If a number (process id) is returned, mycontroller is running, if no data returned, mycontroller is down..

@skywatch

Cool!! great work!!

Think that the sleep can be replaced with a test if the script is still running. will have a look see what i can find.

well nothing too serious for me I took this example as the base

The sensor itself still works perfectly

@skywatch

just take a measuring cup, and pour water into the sensor until it "flips"
then measure the amount of water that has left the cup...

@skywatch

Good!!

@skywatch

Hi there!!
Have you seen this, I posted it approx 2 weeks ago

https://forum.mycontroller.org/topic/302/1-3-0-snapshot-losing-sensor-names/11

1.3.0 takes the names configured in the presentation oart of the sketch....

@skywatch

Can you post the top of your sketch (the mysensors stuff)...
I had the same issue some time ago where the sensor names that I had set in mycontroller got overwritten, most probably when I upgraded to a new release..

I fixed this by hard coding the sensor description names into the sensors presentation loop:

See: https://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_20#presentation
(copy of the most important part below)

Presentation
The sensors should present themselves before they start reporting sensor data to the controller. Do these calls in your presentation()-function

void present(uint8_t childSensorId, uint8_t sensorType, const char *description, bool ack);

childSensorId - The unique child id you want to choose for the sensor connected to this Arduino. Range 0-254.
sensorType - The sensor type you want to create.
description An optional textual description of the attached sensor.
ack - Set this to true if you want destination node to send ack back to this node. Default is not to request any ack.

Description is the one for investigation..

@skywatch

I have not seen V2 yet, but it certainly will be great to have a more mobile version of mycontroller.
