Problem with ESP-NOW controllers #156

Closed lamasseriadipolverara closed 1 year ago

lamasseriadipolverara commented 1 year ago

i have this configuration: LORA receving/ESPnow sending in 0x02 ESPNow irrigation controller in 0x03

If i have both LORA and ESPNow configured in 0x02, 0x03 can't register to the gateway. If I have only ESPNow configured in 0x02, 0x03 correctly register to the gateway.

This is the configuration: 0x02 (as you see i commented the //#define USE_LORA and in this way espnow registration of 0x03 in the gateway was successfully) // FARM DATA RELAY SYSTEM // // GATEWAY 2.000 Configuration

With this configuration i have in the serial monitor: Reading ID 1 Gateway: 2 Initializing ESP-NOW! ESP-NOW Initialized. ESP-NOW peer registration request submitted to 2 Registration accepted.

PS by the way i commented //bool newData = false; in irrigation.ino because if not, the sketch did'nt compile correctly...

timmbogner commented 1 year ago

Hello, First, the Irrigation sketch had an error with newData. I'm not sure how I didn't notice it initially, but it should be fixed now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

At first I was indeed able to recreate your error, as my pings and registration requests went unanswered. Then I switched to my gateway's serial console and realized that due to a LoRa initialization problem my gateway was not starting up. I had selected the wrong board, which caused a RadioLib error -2. After fixing it, the gateway initialized correctly and everything worked as intended.

Is your gateway 0x02 definitely booting successfully? It looks like you're using an older configuration page that doesn't include the LORA_BUSY definition, which is now required if using the latest version. You can just add #define LORA_BUSY RADIOLIB_NC to fix that.

timmbogner commented 1 year ago

You also haven't called sendESPNowPeers() anywhere, so devices can connect, but won't ever get any data.

Just for testing's sake: change #define SERIAL_ACT to #define SERIAL_ACT sendESPNowPeers();

Now you can send commands directly to the irrigation controller by entering them into the console and sending. For example to set the first relay enter this:

[{ id: 101, type: 0, data: 1 }]

Ok now the registration request is ok. But espnow irrigation didn't receive any message. Be careful for my system organization i have change the unit_mac now lora->espnow is 0x02.

timmbogner commented 1 year ago

I apologize, this looks like I accidentally deleted a line the other day when editing Irrigation.ino. Github uploading seems to be down currently, but to fix it add loopFDRS(); at the beginning of the loop function.

timmbogner commented 1 year ago

@lamasseriadipolverara There seems to be some further problem with ESP-NOW controllers. I'll let you know what I figure out.

REVISION: It seems the issue only occurs when using an ESP8266 as a controller. Let me know if it's working for you.

lamasseriadipolverara commented 1 year ago

I'm working with esp32, and espnow now seems to works correctly when i used the serial monitor in 0x02. But when in 0x02 i try to pass throw lora to espnow lora doesn't work. If i have only Lora configureted in 0x02 i receved the message from the gateway, when i enable espnow i didn't have any message....

timmbogner commented 1 year ago

I can't seem to recreate the problem. Tell me if I'm understanding correctly: You are trying to get data from Gateway 0x01 to Gateway 0x02 via LoRa, then from Gateway 0x02 to a Controller via ESP-NOW. When you send serial data to Gateway 0x02, it successfully sends to Controller. However, when you send the data from Gateway 0x01 to Gateway 0x02 via LoRa, Gateway 0x02 does not send the data to Controller via ESP-NOW.

I copied your configs into a sketch and changed to my own LoRa configs, then I used the 1_UART_Gateway sketch and modified the LoRa neighbor 2 to 0x02, and enabled USE_LORA. With this setup I can send data to the serial monitor of Gateway 0x01, which sends it via LoRa to Gateway 0x02, which sends it via ESP-NOW to Controller.

Let me know if I'm misunderstanding the situation you're trying to create.

timmbogner commented 1 year ago

Something that could be an issue: if an gateway is reset, the ESP-NOW controller needs to also be reset and re-register with it before it will get packets again.

This is my configuration. The only difference (just to be complete) is that the serial of 0x01 comes from 0x00 mqtt gateway to serial to 0x01. The strange thing is that when i used only lora the message from 0x01 to 0x02 arrives without problem but when i use espnow AND lora in 0x02 the Lora message from 0x01 doesn't arrive
