hex communication between WSN-9791 and WSN-3231

[EETDer]

Hello,

I am trying to send commands and receive responses through the WSN-9791 gateway  and WSN-3231 RS-485 nodes.

The commands and responses are in the form of 8 byte hex.

Currently I have verified that the send command works, because I see a status LED flash on the sensor I'm communicating with.

However, I have not been able to know if a response has been received.  It does not show up in the host code.

Please take a look at my code to let me know what is the proper way to get the response.

Thanks,

Anna

I found some more documentation on this process.

The question I have is how do I get the variables in the form as shown in the purple box on the leftmost figure:

Also, how do I get radio messages with variables?  The only options available from the WSN "Radio Messages" module are:

Send Debug Message, Network Status, Sample Interval, Send User Message, Received User Message.

If I can get my UDV string readout from there sent out over radio, I think I can receive it on the host PC.

Thanks,

Also, it's starting to seem like I can't send a serial command from the gateway to the node?

Please confirm if this is true.

I was thinking of whether I can use the DIOs to send an RS-485 command.

Thanks,

Anna
