New RFLink firmware (R44) now available!

[Stuntteam]

Put a wire between pin 12 and 13 reboot rflink, remove wire, reboot again and all will be fine.
R46 will not have these issues.

So can you name a date for R46?

Thanks Stuntteam much appreciated, that sorted it

Hi,

I know there is already topic with newer R45 and R46 however I would like to keep this post here because there is potential solution mentioned above.
One year ago I have bought RFlink (on PCB its v1.1.1) to control my 433MHz devices, I noticed there is a possibility now to use MySensors also. Thats why I have upgraded firmware to R46 to check it. Unfortunately, checking debug log on RFLink Loader I see:

"20;00;Nodo RadioFrequencyLink - RFLink Gateway V1.1 - R46;
20;01;MySensors=OFF;NO NRF24L01;"

This is also visible if I upgrade my Mega2560 with R43, R44, R45. I have tried three different NRF antennas to isolate problem with nrf module failure. I did not have any issues with RFLink to use it with 433MHz appliances. Your solution with wiring together Pin 12 & Pin could solve this behaviour? Should I wire it with RFLink module attached or detached? How about power. Wiring once device is up and running or wire it when power off -> then turn on -> then reboor -> then remove wire -> turn on and reboot?

Thanks for input
Cheers
Maciek

Have you installed a NRF24L01 module?
You can use either the one linked above with removeable antenna and
integrated PA and LNA for maximum range or a cheaper version with
shorter range...

Hey,

I do have NRF24L01 module already installed like here:


I have tried module with built in external antenna and smaller one without external antenna. Unfortunately results are the same.

Thanks,
Maciek

Have you enabled the module according to http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/faq#Freq3 ?

See Q: What do I need to do besides add the NRF24L01?

[macieiks]

Yes, I was testing this step on R44, R45 and R46. I had "window popup" with information that it was "activated" but in the logs I saw the same "MySensors=OFF;NO NRF24L01;"

I see the following in FAQ:

Q: Can I use the NRF24L01 socket on the Nodo PCB for Milight signals?
A: That depends on the Nodo PCB version.
Version 1.1.3 and higher: Yes.
Versions below 1.1.3: No, the NodoNRF socket uses a software SPI solution while the NRF for Milight is using the hardware SPI pins.

Maybe it is not "direct" to MySensors but, if I have v1.1.1 on my RFLink PCB it means I cannot use NRF module for MySensors?

Is your PCB exactly the same as depicted above? If not, post an actual photo, please.

The one in the image you've provided is wired up for MiLight / Applamp / Limitless Led support.
This configuration uses pins on the 'digital' port (pins 22-53) whereas the "NODO NRF24L01" Sensor
support is wired to the 'analog' ports.
