      1. Installing Mycontroller

      The following commands in part 2 should be run with sudo:

      sudo mv ./mycontroller /opt
      cd /opt/mycontroller/bin
      sudo ./start.sh

          Thanks much for this tutorial.

          If the mycontroller directory (part 2) is not moved to /opt, then the /etc/init.d/mycontroller script (part 4) needs to be edited appropriately.

          MyController 1.4.0.Final on a Raspberry Pi 3+ running Raspbian Stretch
          MySensors 2.3.0 Serial Gateway

            The links in this getting started guide are quite old and should be updated. Or maybe better: Link to the download page instead: https://mycontroller.org/#/downloads

            I ran 1.0.0.Final for some days now and wasn't aware that this is an old release.

              @benhub Thank you! I have added the following lines in the original blog.

              IMPORTANT: 1.0.0.Final was the latest one when this blog has written, maybe older when you installing, download the latest version from https://mycontroller.org/#/downloads

                1. Connecting to the gateway
                  There are 2 ways of connecting the NRF24L01 radio,

                What about ESP8266 gateway?

                  What about ESP8266 gateway?

                  What type of library are you using inside ESP8266? If MySensors it works

                    any change in the install process with MyController 1.4.0?
                    Is the JAVA version update still necessary with the new raspbian image (2019-04-08)?
                    keep up the good work
                    cheers

                      @francois No changes for installation as far as I am aware.

                      As for Java, it's always best to use the latest version for security and compatibility unless there is a compelling reason to use an older version.

                        @francois There is no change in the installation process. You can use the latest version of java 1.8.x

                          @Tag All installation steps applied very well and mycontroller is running well.
                          except part 4 to start automatically as i ca not find a file under name: mycontroller inside init.d folder. also not able to create new text file inside same folder?

                            Hi Sherrif!,

                            What error do you see?
                            have you tried to create the file in /etc/init.d with the command:

                            sudo touch /etc/init.d/mycontroller
