Title: Help with PulseMeter not transmitting
Post by: G550_Pilot on May 05, 2016, 03:10:49 AM
Hello -

I am new to Moteino and am working on changing out some of my sensors that I already have running with other 'arduino' devices.

I am attempting to adapt PulseMeter (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/blob/master/Examples/PulseMeter/PulseMeter.ino) for use with what I have now, but was unable to get very far, so I decided to start at the beginning.

I have a Moteino running the Gateway (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/blob/master/Examples/Gateway/Gateway.ino) code and another motenio running the PulseMeter (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/blob/master/Examples/PulseMeter/PulseMeter.ino) sketch but I cannot get the gateway node to receive or see data from the Pulse node.

After pulling my hair out, I installed the SenderNode (http://lowpowerlab.com/programming/) sketch and it worked just fine transmitting to my gateway. The I installed the WaterMote (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/WaterMote/blob/master/WaterMote.ino) sketch and it also worked just fine. But for some reason I cannot get the PulseMeter (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/blob/master/Examples/PulseMeter/PulseMeter.ino) sketch to transmit anything to my gateway node. All setting (gateway, nodeid, freq, etc) are correct, it just does not seem to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps you'd like to use the PiGateway sketch (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/blob/master/Examples/PiGateway/PiGateway.ino) instead?
The Gateway and Node sketches are a standalone duo and not really meant for a particular purpose other than testing and showing how you might use the RFM69 lib.

Thanks Felix -

Did not realize that, I will give the PiGateway a try!
