I released the pilight Arduino Nano code today.

This allows users to use pilight on any computer with a USB port.

Requirements:
- Supported OS.
- USB port.
- Arduino Nano.
- pilight Arduino Nano firmware.
- Latest pilight nightly.
- Sender and/or Receiver

The Arduino Nano firmware can be found here.

Please let me know what your experiences are, i've tested this myself on Windows and Linux.

I will update the Windows installer soon.

New windows installer can be found here

Installing the pilight USB nano firmware on Windows.

- Download the installer.
- Install pilight for Windows.
- Go to c:\pilight\
- Open a console with cmd
- Connect the Arduino Nano to your computer and check to what COM port it's connected, such as COM5
- Flash the pilight usb nano firmware:

Code:

pilight-flash.exe -f pilight_usb_nano.hex -p COM5

- Open c:\pilight\config.json and add the new pilight usb nano:

Code:

[...]
    "hardware": {
        "433nano": {
            "comport": "COM5"
        }
    },
[...]

- Start pilight from your start menu of when you're still in the console through: pilight-daemon.
- To see your devices, you can start pilight-receive while pilight-daemon is active.

Connecting the sender and receiver to the Arduino Nano:
- VCC: 5v
- GND: 0v / GND
- Sender Data: D5
- Receiver Data: D2

Have Fun!

The pilight USB Nano is also for sale! Consider supporting the project instead of buying it yourself.

Only for original nano i guess?
There are replicas for € 3,- on the shopping platforms where the original is about € 70,-

Both will work. They are all ATMega328P chips, and that's the only thing that matters.

[Eekhoorn]

Does the firmware include some filtering functions?

[curlymo]

Yes

[curlymo]

Added installation instructions for firmware flashing on Windows.

I flashed my $3 Nano and pilight-daemon.exe is receiving data!
At the moment I don't have a spare sender, so I cannot test sending data.

I'm very curious to this new development! Great job curlymo!

[curlymo]

Already available for testing...

Very cool, ordered a Nano clone and an additional sender/receiver kit, can't wait to test it.
