OTA updates slow on RPI

[Swiftnesses]

Good day,

After a full day of testing I can confirm that OTA node updates via the RPI gateway are extremely slow (1-2 stream messages per few seconds). Reverting back to either the serial or ethernet gateway resolves the issue (constant stream of messages).

All configs were the same, i.e version, channel, power etc etc.

Could you share the configure command used for the gateway?

./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-channel=125 --my-rf24-pa-level=RF24_PA_MAX --my-rf24-irq-pin=15 --extra-cxxflags="-DMY_OTA_LOG_RECEIVER_FEATURE"

Guys, it's not just the Pi, it's all gateways - the issue coincided with me updating to 2.3.0 branch. Rolling back to 2.2.0 immediately fixes it. @tekka007

Update: After another few hours sitting on the floor with wires going crazy, it seems it's related to this commit:

Replacing this file with the one from 2.2.0 causes OTA updates to resume full speed!

BTW, it also seems this only effects the PA+LNA models (I'm using a shielded one).

Confirmed, with the file replaced, my Gateway (also tried other variants) is now working perfect!

@Swiftnesses thanks for the detailed feedback.

[Swiftnesses]

Any news on this guys?

[tekka007]

@Swiftnesses Yes, #1189 fixes an issue with certain RF24 PA + LNA modules. Please try with the current dev branch

@tekka007 Just tried it, seems the discover button in MYSController no longer works with the dev branch?

[Swiftnesses]

Not working well for me at all, discover doesn't work and request presentation only provides version and one of the sensors (node has 3). Consistent behaviour.

Edit: I see your fix was simply the remove the pulse line, like I did (which works on the last release).
So I assume another recent change has caused issues with discover etc...

I_DISCOVER messaging fixed in #1205 - thanks for reporting. The presentatoin issue I could not reproduce - can you post sketch & node + GW debug logs?

[Swiftnesses]

@tekka007 That fixed it, a reboot of the nodes also fixed the presentation reporting issue!
