Help getting my first sensor working please

When I press reset on the Arduino, nothing else appears
...wait...
I found "Add Node" in "My Sensors Driver". After 30 secs I just get "Timed Out"/"Operation Failed". This happens if I reset the Arduino during the 30s or not.

Did you mean SPI or RPi? Are you saying that the Arduino is not communicating over the SPI bus with the radio module, or over the wireless link with the Pi?EasyIoT wrote: It means that Arduino fails to send message to SPI.

Was that correct?EasyIoT wrote: Just to be sure: When you add sensor node to EasyIoT server press Add node in Web interface.

You should use Add Node in MySensors driver. After that you power on Arduino node.

Just to make sure this isn't a channel issue, change channel (both server and sensor side) to 76.

I just tried my spare nrf module... made no difference. I was pretty sure all 3 work fine.
I know it must be hard for you guys to help me because you can't see what I might have done wrong. I feel the same trying to help others on the Arduino forrm when they say things don't work but I know they should. Any more ideas please?

OK, thanks for helping. I tried that (although I don't understand how powering on and resetting the Arduino are different, since both cause the sketch to begin running). I got "Timeout" from the web interface and the same "st=fail" messages on Serial Monitor.EasyIoT wrote: You should use Add Node in MySensors driver. After that you power on Arduino node.
Thanks to you too for helping. Changed channel to 76 in both web interface and MyConfig.h, re-uploaded the sketch to the Arduino and then followed the Add Node/power-on Arduino. Still no joy.HarryDutch wrote: Just to make sure this isn't a channel issue, change channel (both server and sensor side) to 76.

Could you please try to load this sketch on your sensor and then add it to the the EasyIoT server:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensor.h>
#define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
#define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 30000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)
MySensor gw;
MyMessage msgHum(CHILD_ID_HUM, V_HUM);
MyMessage msgTemp(CHILD_ID_TEMP, V_TEMP);
void setup()
{
gw.begin();
gw.sendSketchInfo("Humidity", "1.0");
// Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
gw.present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM);
gw.present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP);
}
void loop()
{
gw.sleep(SLEEP_TIME); //sleep a bit

Thanks Harry. That is just the Humidity example sketch with some code removed, isn't it?
Here's the serial monitor output, same old messages:
Plus the usual timeout message from the web interface.
Would it help if I post links to some higher-resolution pics of my circuits? Or does the fact that I am not getting "check wiring" messages mean the wiring must be OK? On one occasion last night, I incorrectly plugged the of the nrf boards into the Pi and saw the "check wiring" message. Re-plugging the nrf correctly, that message went away and the normal output I posted earlier returned.
Just tested unplugging the nrf from the Arduino and got the "check wires" message on serial monitor. Re-plugged and the output returned to that above.
Can anyone confirm that the MySensors driver is definitely working with v0.7 of EasyIoT? Would it be worth me trying an earlier version?
Here's the serial monitor output, same old messages:
