Gateway Uno R3 + W5100 Ethernet Shield for Uno not working.

To expand, there are two types of hostnames often used: a mDNS hostname and a hostname option in the DHCP request.

The reason MY_HOSTNAME doesn't have any effect is that MY_HOSTNAME is only supported by ESP8266 and ESP32. I'll amend the documentation to include that information.

Some additional info: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=622543.0

@mfalkvidd , thank you.

no problem, host name can be assined by dhcp.

problem is that commenting out the ip address, letting dhcp take care produces:

$ arp

192.168.80.115 (incomplete) enp2s0

@pw44 what type of hostname are you referring to?
hostname to identify itself

got it.

@pw44 which machine are you running the arp command on? The router?
Is 192.168.80.115 the IP the router assigned to the MySensors gateway?

my server (dnsmasq, dhcp server) - 192.168.80.4
adsl + router - 192.168.80.1

mysensor gateway - 192.168.80.115 assigned by 192.168.80.4 (dhcp server)

with fixed ip address it worked, but i guess maybe udp is not active at mysensors gateway.

mfalkvidd

@pw44 the dhcp communication uses udp of course, but after that the MySensors gateway will use tcp unless MY_USE_UDP is defined.

The gateway doesn't respond to icmp ping?

Next step would be to check the gateway's debug log.

if MY_USER_UDP is commented out, i understand that no UPD is enabled from start, correct?

enabling MY_USER_UDP requires #define MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS 192, 168, 178, 254
and #define MY_CONTROLLER_URL_ADDRESS "my.controller.org"

by enabling fixed ip, none of both is required, which is something not very clear for me.

mfalkvidd

@pw44 which controller are you using? Why do you want to use udp for the connection to the controller?

pw44

@mfalkvidd
no controller yet. i need to make the gateway at least be recognized by the network, either way.

udp, for dhcp.

mfalkvidd

@pw44 yes the MySensors gateway will of course use udp for dhcp. You don't need to do anything special to enable udp for dhcp.

there must be something i'm not being able to figure out....

dhcp served by dnsmasq. all other devices work without problem.

mfalkvidd

@pw44 the log shows that the gateway is unable to initialize the nrf24 radio module. This prevents the gateway code from reaching the dhcp section.

Double-check the nrf24 wiring. If you can, replace the radio module. If that doesn't help, post detailed photos of the wiring and we'll try to spot what could be wrong.

mfalkvidd

Also, are you sure the w5100 shield you are using is capable of managing the SPI_EN signal?

pw44

these are the real photos of the setup.

wire codes are the same as the build instructions ;-)

managing the SPI_EN signal? tried with and without, no changes.

Yveaux

@pw44 you seem to have the same w5100 shield as i have. Try removing the sd card.
If that doesn't work, try my fix here : https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/9732/arduino-uno-with-ethernet-shield-w5100-not-working/10

@Yveaux
Thanks for the reply, removing the sd card or applying your fix did not change the problem.

@pw44 why are spi clk/miso/mosi connected to A0.. 2 ¿

Yes, but the sketch just below it has

//#define MY_W5100_SPI_EN 4

You actually have enabled this line, which causes the arduino to use hardware spi. And hardware spi uses different pins for clk/miso/mosi.
You wired for software spi, so comment that line as in the example.

pw44

@Yveaux

thanks man, you're right. commenting out

//#define MY_W5100_SPI_EN 4

solved it.

just another question: does the 3.3v line from Uno R# enough power to handle the RF24 radio?

Thx in advance!
