Troubleshooting

A little but oh so important update: I come to think of that I hadn't tried with a hardware inclusion-button yet. So I just tested that and now it's working perfectly! Up till now I started inclusionmode with the Start button on the Vera-gateway device. Clearly something is wrong when doing this. @hek: you maybe can find some time to look into the code for this?

Please see the Ethernet Gateway problem and Ethernet gateway troubleshooting advice threads.

Still digging away here, and confused by what I see as a conflict regarding the physical layout of the ethernet shield and the documentation when used with the Mega. The physical layout (http://shieldlist.org/arduino/ethernet-v5 for example) clearly shows the range of connectivity, when combined with a mega (http://www.onemansanthology.com/images/arduino/Arduino-Mega-2560-with-ethernet-shield-1024.JPG). It's clear that the high end IO pins are not connected. The documentation however states that when combined with a Mega that the ethernet shield uses different IO pins for communication (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoEthernetShield): "Arduino communicates with both the W5100 and SD card using the SPI bus (through the ICSP header). This is on digital pins 10, 11, 12, and 13 on the Uno and pins 50, 51, and 52 on the Mega. On both boards, pin 10 is used to select the W5100 and pin 4 for the SD card" How does the shield/mega combo achieve this? or is it simply a documentation flaw? and is it potentially the reason for the hanging I'm experiencing due to misconfiguration.? I'll play around tonight with the mega stated io pins to see if it works.

It is possible to have more than one button and 1 really? I need 4 buttons and 4 relays. Could someone write what i should to change for that?

I am running straight off the webpage. Actually it doesnt apear I can get any of the sketches to run using either the browser plg in or the native IDE.... :/ wishing I hadnt updated since this last set of changes.

Hi, and welcome. If it helps you, i did the same mistake, but in my case the documentation was wrong at the time.

It appears as both my Uno and Mega do not like being a gateway at all. either serial or ethernet. My micro works just fine. guess its a board problem :(

Regarding the low memory warning - at the time of the compile, sometimes the compiler does not know exactly how much memory will be needed by the program when it runs, as it doesn't know how deeply you may nest function calls or how much heap memory your code or the libraries you use may request. But if there's not much memory left for heap and stack, it will warn your about that even if it still compiles.

No there is no queuing. Try delaying some of the actions in your vera scene. [image: upload-01239319-9155-477e-882f-455db31340e0.png]

@jocke4u I have since put the set up I have described above in permanent operation as my Vera gateway and have not had any problems with it. I do have a cap across the NRF24L01+PA+LNA power and ground terminals--that may make a difference, even with external power. I did power up the radio before the Arduino.

@marceltrapman Yes, it is a fact we have to live with. You can look at the return-value if wake-up was triggered by external interrupt or timer. If timer triggered wake-up you know how long the sensor has slept. But if wakeup was triggered by external interrupt there is no way to know how long it slept.

@jocke4u said: I have used this code: gw.begin(incomingMessage, AUTO, false, AUTO, RF24_PA_LOW); Since the PA parameter is the fourth one, you need to set the ones before (but go with defaults for the ones after) Yes, the MySensors configuration design is to set the unified configuration parameters in MyConfig.h to ensure common sensor configs (.e.g. channel) across sensors but then override on a per-sensor basis as needed.

Yeah that does seem to be the case. But I have read that some were having success so I gave it a go anyways... I can't see me having much time for a while to give this another go, so i'll probably wait until i can roll back to UI5.

OK, I don't think this was an issue with the site... I think it has something to do with permissions. For example, I had no problems cloning and editing the Ethernet Gateway, but when I try to do the same for the Relay Actuator, it says that it uses a personal library. I can't clone the sketch and libraries, but I can clone just the sketch.

@Paul-Augusto I know but the only gng on arduino is connected to CTS on the ftdi, and that doesn't seem right.... Maybe CTS is connected to gnd on the arduino or for some other magic reason it is working.

It did change the IP in the new sketch. I finally got it to ping, but I am not quite sure how. Probably too many different version of the gateway in effort to get it to work. Thanks

@Yveaux Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'll look into both the repeater and troubleshooting/moving the gateway.
