Hi!

I'm working in a new feature to Ferduino Controller.

I did a small board to control LEDs or relays.

Image


This board will be plug and play to my relay or LDD board.

This board will allow control until 20 LED channels or 23 relays.

For now I'm working with a small board called Anarduino mini wireless but a Moteino also can be used.

Here a small video to show the test:

Watch on youtube.com

Hi!

Yes, you can use a module like this connected to your Arduino Mega.

Looking really cool. Maybe you could add support for something like this

http://www.wilko.com/switches+sockets/w ... vt/0343066

That's if it can work with your rf module?

It would then be easy for people to have timed sockets without having to diy relays and sockets etc

Hi!

I'm working with features compatibles with my products.

Today isn't plug and play but will be some day.

The Ruben is using this type of plug with Ferduino look here: viewtopic.php?p=1645#p1645

Here have an example: http://www.timzaman.com/?p=130

The type of radio used is this: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_BIN=1 ... no&_sop=15

salut
I use your system on my reef lighting and
Function very well :ymapplause:
But I would diminish all these cables
I purchased this module https://lowpowerlab.com/shop/product/100 and
Integrated this module on http://www.digitalsmarties.net/products/rfm12b
To test it I use the Send code on one and Receive on the other
Both work :-bd
Then my question needs a code for my
Https://lowpowerlab.com/shop/product/100 to work with ferduino
Thanks for your help

Hi!

Welcome Nicolas!

I'm glad to hear that Ferduino code is working for you.

Firstly you needs buy a module to connect to your Arduino Mega like this:

Image


On Arduino Mega the wiring is like this:

Image


BUT chipSelect should be connected to A15 not 53.

Have you tested your Moteino using the modified library available in my Github?

Later I'll try find the code that I was using and post here for you.

Best regards.

I don't understand your answer.

Which modules are working?

Can you answer this question?

Hi!

Do you mean ARDUINO MEGA is sending and MOTEINO is receiving?

Or have you tested this code on Ferduino? In this case which code exactly was used on Moteino?

Can you post some pictures?

Best regards.

Nicolas, try this codes: https://github.com/FernandoGarcia/Ferdu ... %20control

There a mystery on code, when the PWM value is 0 ou 255 the communication works but doesn't works when is different.

You can try change PWM values here:

// Values for test purpose
byte bled_out = 255;
byte wled_out = 255;
byte rbled_out = 255;
byte rled_out = 255;
byte uvled_out = 255;
byte moonled_out = 255;


For now you can't use the slave module with Ferduino code I have to find a solution first.

Too I'm not able to make Ferduino Mega receive any message from slave, I think it's related with interrupt function but the code will work anyway.

If do you want can try enable ACK request just uncomment this line:

//requestACK_LED = !requestACK_LED;

According to what I can see here your Arduino Mega is receiving ACK.

Later tell me if your Arduino can receive message with ethernet shield connected.

Hi!

Nicolas, can you give me some feedback about this code?

Here only fixing the value of red LED in 0 or 255 it's working with Ferduino code:

Image


I don't know the reason for now.

I just comment this line is "RFM12B" tab:

  //theData_led.channel_red = rled_out;
