BLE_Gateway mesh device will not broadcast

[Ignacio Lopez]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a small mesh network. Basically I have a couple of PCA10028 (v1.1.0) and I have flashed the mesh example:

github.com/.../BLE_Gateway

One of the devices is connected via SPI to a photon and receives commands correctly through api requests. Also, on MCP I can see both devices advertising and I can connect and change the LEDs lighting on both of them.

The problem. My understanding was that once I modify the LEDs status in one of the devices, it will be re-broadcast to the other one, but this is not happening.

Any help is most welcome.

UPDATE 1:

I have followed David advice. Back to basics. I have taken the photon out of the equation. I proceed as follows:

1. I have flashed both PCA10028 (v1.1.0) devices with the s110_nrf51_8.0.0 using nRFgo Studio.
2. I have compiled the mesh example aforementioned (BLE_Gateway) without any mods (no RBC_MESH_SERIAL defined) and I have flashed both devices with this code.
3. I can see both devices advertising as shown on MCP .
4. I have modified the connection interval to be 100ms on the MCP . Suggested by Trond.
5. I have connected to one of the devices and send the following command (00-00-00-00-01) to set the LED1 on and it works!

I have a problem to turn them off. It seems that the data is somehow corrupted and it always arrives to the second device with a value. The handle is correct but the data is not. I will spend more time on it and if I can get it sorted I will open another case! Thanks

Lets first do it without the Photon and test the mesh first as there are some issues on the Photon interface. You can try the github.com/.../BLE_Gateway and see if it works.
