cant start Gateway

[n3roGit]

i cant start the serial gateway.

• I have a Pi 1 B (first Generation with 256 MB RAM)
• capacitor connected to the NRF24L01+
• not overcloced PI
• CN connected to PIN 22 (GPIO 25)

i followed this tutorial:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1151/tutorial-raspberry-pi-nrf24l01-direct-connection

When i start the programm in get this output:

./PiGatewaySerial
Starting PiGatewaySerial...
Protocol version - 1.4
Created PTY '/dev/pts/1'
Gateway tty: /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway
check wires

and a 100% CPU Load.

I cant end process with STRG+C. Only a KILL -9 stop it.

regards,

i have found a wrong wire.... CSN.

Now it starts but i have still 100%CPU Load an no receive signal :-/

Hello Guy's. I'm new here and I need some help.

I was trying to use MySensors on my Raspberry Pi 2, but I can't start the serial gateway.

Configurations:
No capacitor connected to the NRF24L01
not overclocked PI
CN not connected

I followed this tutorial:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1151/tutorial-raspberry-pi-nrf24l01-direct-connection

When I start the program in get this output:

./PiGatewaySerial
Starting PiGatewaySerial...
Protocol version - 1.4
Created PTY '/dev/pts/1'
Gateway tty: /dev/ttyMySensorsGateway

and my raspberry freezes. I can't finish the processes with STRG+C. What do I need to do?

regards,
Ricardo Leoni

Could change Raspberry/librf24-bcm to https://github.com/TMRh20/RF24 for Rasbian Jessie.
Seems to work, but CPU usage is still 100%. Anybody has any hints to solve this issue?
