Iboard - Cheap Single board Ethernet Arduino with Radio

[Zeph]

Presumablhy they moved to software SPI on GPIO pins because the WizNet chip is on the hardware SPI.

It sounds like you've had no trouble sharing SPI between the radio and ethernet tho.

[gregl]

Yes. Its been well tested that you can share the SPI. Ive been using a $70 "Etherten" board since moving over to Ethernet gateway and using the same pins as per Hek's instructions there...

http://www.freetronics.com/products/etherten

IIRC, there may be some fun and games trying to share spi with ethernet and SDcard slot at the same time...but never played with the SDcard on either boards..

[Zeph]

My understanding of the cautions about sharing SPI:

If devices use different modes, be sure to set the mode and speed when accessing a device rather than assuming it's still the same. If you are using a library which doesn't do this along with your own code, you could be sure to save, set and restore the mode at the beginning and end of your code, so the library won't get a surprise.

If you are using interrupts to access SPI for one or more devices, you may need to inhibit interrupts for critical sections of non-interrupt code, and/or be sure the interrupt code saves and restores SPI interface state.

The problem is using libraries which assume they have exclusive access to the SPI and do not safeguard themselves or other libraries from surprises.

If you have devices which use the same SPI mode and speed and you are not accessing SPI from interrupt code, it's really simple to share SPI among devices, not much to do.

I haven't checked the modes of the WizNet and nRF, but they can probably use the same speed. And if the modes differ, I haven't checked the libraries to be sure they don't assume the SPI mode is unchanged between interactions.

(One other special case gotcha is using pseudo-SPI devices like pixel LED chips, which do not have chip select - so anything you clock out will go to them, even if you are trying to access another device)

@gregl
I just wanted to post to say that I implemented the Ethernet Gateway on the iBoard this afternoon and it worked first time. I used your directions for the hardware modifications and the minor changes to the sketch, uploaded it, turned it on and Voila! it eventually found all the sensors and it up and running.

Thanks for the guidance. I received the iBoards in the mail the day before yesterday and planned on getting to it sometime in the next few weeks. This afternoon i power cycled my Vera with the Serial Gateway on it to move a power plug that was in the way and when it came back up it couldn't find the Gateway. I tried everything I could think of and then decided to bite the bullet and do the Ethernet GW right then and there.

worked great. Thanks
John

[hek]

@clippermiami

Glad to hear your network is up and running again.

[clippermiami]

@hek Thanks, the iBoard was an absolute snap solution.

[jribera]

@gregl

Just another thank you for the great instructions. Here is a better pic of the tracks to cut http://i.imgur.com/h87eOIy.jpg although i think i went overboard and hacked it a bit to much.

Here is one of the completed gateway http://i.imgur.com/SwcP7yN.jpg

The only problem i had was i had to also un-comment out the following line (To enable it) and force the inclusion PIN number to something other than 3.

// Uncomment this constructor if you have leds and include button attached to your gateway
MyGateway gw(RADIO_CE_PIN, RADIO_SPI_SS_PIN, INCLUSION_MODE_TIME, INCLUSION_MODE_PIN, RADIO_RX_LED_PIN, RADIO_TX_LED_PIN, RADIO_ERROR_LED_PIN);

I would have thought not having it would disable the manual inclusion button, but without doing this, every time there was radio traffic the inclusion mode would start !

Now i just need to find a nice case.

Yep - looks like you got em!

Do let me know if you do find a nice case... i need one too.

I'm powering mine from a 5v plantronics 500ma supply... been rock solid for month or so now.

[jtm312]

I have built a gateway following the instructions above. It works well, and the mod was quite simple.

I have had a first cut at printing a custom case to match, unfortunately I had one of the holes in the wrong place. I will correct this over the next few days. When I get it right, I can post the design if people are interested.

[gregl]

@jtm312 - That would be great - its time i boxed mine!!

[jtm312]

@gregl Here is my first attempt at a case for the iBoard. If I get time I will do a re-spin for the smaller radios without aerials.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:474650

[gregl]

@jtm312 - Nice one! When my mate gets his printer going again - ill be sending him an order!!

[RJ_Make]

I like it.. Just need some LED; Power and Inclusion Switch holes...

[jtm312]

@ServiceXp yeh, I was thinking about putting LED and inclusion button into it. I will have a bit of a thing about how best to fit it in.

[soward]

Who needs a fancy printed case when you have some an old mouse case, a dremel and some glue

my cheap case

[gregl]

..but i dont have an old mouse case?

[Nuubi]

@soward Nice one. What sort of range you get? Just thinking the wires around the radio antenna. And myself having short range probably partly due to wire mess..

[soward]

I haven't really tested the range explicitly, and really the case is hopefully somewhat temporary. That said, the unit is in the basement and I have a temp sensor in the attic which works fine, and another sensor on the main floor at the other end of the house which also works fine.

[soward]

I have noticed that my ENC based ethernet gateway seems to lock up periodically (doesn't respond to ping or TCP on port 5003). I thought perhaps this case was overheating it, but now that doesn't seem to be the case. I'll be switching to one of the iBoard whenever it arrives, but had intended on using the ENC for another purpose, but perhaps not now.

[jtm312]

@ServiceXp Just added a new version of the box with LEDs and include button.

[hek]

@jtm312

Ohh... sweet!

I might add a link on www.mysensors.org if that is ok.

[RJ_Make]

@jtm312
Love It!! You ship to the US?

[blacey]

@jtm312

[jtm312]

@hek sure, if you want. I hope people find the design useful.

[jtm312]

@ServiceXp Sorry, I can only do the design. Free to download and print though

[tbully]

I know it's a bit off topic but does anyone have a good idea of a general purpose printer? It seems like the 3D forums are full of people that love their own purchase/decision but have little constructive feedback.

@jtm312 - What do you use for small projects like this? Do you like it?

[jtm312]

@tbully I'm using a Flashforge Creator. It's a Chinise clone of the original Makerbot GPL version. I have made a few minor mods to it and upgraded the firmware to the latest Sailfish version. It came mostly assembled, so I was up and running quickly. There are better printers on the market, but you get a lot for your money. Overall I have been happy with the investment, and it has been great to learn with.

[gregl]

Anyone using the iBoard with 1.4, see: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/466/ethernet-gateway-problem/61#

Adding the line to setup gave me stability.

SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV2); //to assist with gateway stability.

[Firestarter]

@gregl Thank you for your guide how to do the hardware changes. I'm more of a software guy, so I would like to try that route. You mentioned the software changes to the RF24 library in the wiki, but where should I change this library? I'm would like to use the EthernetGateway.ino on the iBoard, but I'm missing something and I can't figure out what it is. Just started with MySensors.

I hope you can give me some pointers.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Firestarter...Welcome! MySensors is very cool and keeps getting better all the time from community ideas/projects... and of course Hek keeps improving and adding great stuff all the time too!
The "wiki" i made reference too is here:http://wiki.iteadstudio.com/IBoard
at the bottom is some "Useful Links" two of which are to forks of the RF24 library. So you could go this route, but as i think i said before, if you do then you need to repeat if/whenever there is a change to the RF24 lib used by the other sensors you create...or you need to have 2 diff versions of the lib....
Imho, doing the hardware hack is best as its a one off job ( and its easy )and then you can load newer versions without needing to worry about lib changes!

Good luck and enjoy!

[Hacker007]

This post is deleted!

[AtomicGrog]

I have just received 2 of these devices and will be making the mods posted over the next week or so but I am intrigued. Is the iBoard a valid product or are we trying to do something unintended with the mysensor software?

What I mean is this... how can someone manufacture and sell a duino which requires hardware modifications for it's unique selling characteristics to work? if you sell an Ethernet/RF24 (Header) duino shouldnt it work out of the box?

[nneeoo]

Hi. I just used MySensors library with the iBoard without any HW modifications. All You have to do is to edit utils/RF24_config.h.

uncomment the following line:

#define SOFTSPI   // Requires library from https://github.com/greiman/DigitalIO

and modify SOFT SPI PIN definitions to

const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 6; 
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 5; 
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 7;

And it all "just works" Of course you have to have the DigitalIO library, too.

[gregl]

Nice one!

[Hacker007]

Hi. I have tried nneeoos' solution fot SOFTSPI, but the code only compiles if I use DigitalIO library in my main INO file too (I tried MQTTGateway ethernet on Iboard). I have the latest librarys. After uploading I get "check wires".

[tbully]

Hello. I too tried @nneeoo 's edits and am getting check wires.

Here's my relevant RH24_Config settings:

  const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 6; 
  const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 5; 
  const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 7;  
  const uint8_t SPI_MODE = 0;

And here's my setup in my gateway sketch:

 #include <Ethernet.h>   


 #define INCLUSION_MODE_TIME 1 // Number of minutes inclusion mode is enabled
 #define INCLUSION_MODE_PIN  3 // Digital pin used for inclusion mode button

 #define RADIO_CE_PIN        5  // radio chip enable
 #define RADIO_SPI_SS_PIN    6  // radio SPI serial select
 #define RADIO_ERROR_LED_PIN 10  // Error led pin
 #define RADIO_RX_LED_PIN    8  // Receive led pin
 #define RADIO_TX_LED_PIN    9  // the PCB, on board LED

 #define IP_PORT 5003        // The port you want to open 
 IPAddress myIp (192, 168, 34, 169);

[tbully]

To be clear, I'm not afraid to do the hardware modification but it appears that @nneeoo got it to work without doing so. If that's true, I'd like to go that route........

[tbully]

As an update....I gave up on the software method and just did the hardware modification.

All is well now.

One question: How did you guys do the LED and inclusion buttons? Did you carefully solder right to the Atmega chip or is there a better place to grab the needed pins?

What pins did you use for TX/RX/ERR/Inclusion?

[gregl]

Hi @tbully - i personally never bothered with leds/inclusion button.

My gatway is underneath my staircase near vera and my wifi router, so other than when i make a change, i never see it - so leds wouldnt help me.

When i do an inclusion i do so via software..so no button needed either...

I would like a nice 3d printed case for it one day...still havent boxed the iboard up!

Same here, @gregl . I appreciate your write-ups above. They really helped out. I'd like to find a printer and user @jtm312 's design but would like to know how he got the LEDs and Button wired up. Soldering directly to the chip could be difficult without a steady hand.

[hugob]

I am using the Itead iBoard as a gateway to a Vera Light for a few days now. Without any hardware modifications, only a few changes in header files required. I think the main issue is that you should map the inclusion button and led's to the Ax pins and use the full constructor (with 7 parameters). Beware of the last line in the first snippet. If you use the shortcut constructor (with three parameters), it will use defaults for the other parameters and your defs will be ignored.
To verify my assumptions above, I included a led to the A2 pin and it is blinking as expected on arrival of a packet.
The code below may look intimidating. But I posted the whole thing for easy reference. You can do the software changes in one minute.

@hugob - Finally got to try this last night late...Success!

I did also need to add to the EthernetGateway.ino this line to load the Softspi libs...

#include <DigitalIO.h>     <-added this too!
#include <SPI.h>  
#include <MySensor.h>
#include <MyGateway.h>  
#include <stdarg.h>

I also needed to compile it under a newer IDE version due to memory..I used 1.6.5.

[hugob]

@gregl
Good to hear that you can confirm that this is working. My unmodified IBoard gateway is working for months now without problems. But as I said in some other topic, this board needs a decent power supply.
So all you need for a MySensors Ethernet gateway is this board, a NRF24L01 Radio that plugs in into this board, and a power supply. No mess with cables like in http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway. This board has 7 IO ports in case you want the leds. For $17.50 this is a no brainer.

[hugob]

OK, I did forget some minor drawback. You need a FTDI adapter to program this IBoard from the Arduino UI.

[soward]

I'm using this as a gateway w/ 1.5 also with no issue. I do have the LEDs hooked up as well, using an oversized 'recovered' power supply and the PA+LNA radio with no problems. All I need is a nice case...

[5546dug]

My iboard gw is up and running so far so good!

Using the basic sketch with no LEDs

Question I see only A0 to A5 I/o s where or how can I use t he sketches pins d6 -d9 pins?

I printed the my sensors 3d stl file for the gw and it fits great, but there are the holes for the 3 LEDs and re include button .

Any help would be good maybe just a senior moment eh?

[Dwalt]

@soward said:

Print one

[Fabien]

Switch today to MySensors 1.5 without any problem. Easy to setup softspi with MyConfig.h

[Fabien]

And test OTA with a sensebender, work fine !

[hugob]

@5546dug

In the original sketch, you map a variable to a Dn pin. E.g. INCLUSION_MODE_PIN is mapped to pin 3.
The iBoard has no digital ports (Dn) on a connector, but only analog ports (An). Luckily, the analog ports can also be used as digital ports. The modified sketch maps the variables that were mapped to a Dn port in the oririginal sketch, to an An port in the modified sketch. This is the list:

Original
INCLUSION_MODE_PIN 3 // Digital pin used for inclusion mode button
RADIO_ERROR_LED_PIN 7 // Error led pin
RADIO_RX_LED_PIN 8 // Receive led pin
RADIO_TX_LED_PIN 9 // the PCB, on board LED

Modified
INCLUSION_MODE_PIN 14 // A0 Digital pin used for inclusion mode button
RADIO_ERROR_LED_PIN 15 // A1 Error led pin
RADIO_RX_LED_PIN 16 // A2 Receive led pin
RADIO_TX_LED_PIN 17 // A3 the PCB, on board LED

So for the iBoard, the receive LED has to be connected to pin 16 (A2). Etc.

If you carefully look at the code, you will notice that also RADIO_SPI_SS_PIN changed from 6 to 8. That is because the header for the radio chip on the iBoard is connected to a different Arduino pin on the iBoard, than it is on the wiring diagram of the original gateway diagram. But this is just an internal issue. It should not bother you if you build the gateway.

[5546dug]

@hugob Thanks

Hi Guys!
I have got a Wborad Ex board with built in wifi (rak410) from itead.
http://wiki.iteadstudio.com/Wboard_Ex

Unfortunately I can not find anywhere arduino code that would work of the board with wifi.
Does anyone have the same board and could possibly help?

Itead said it works on this demo, but without success .

Maybe not the answer you want, but if you want a verified wifi-gateway solution, have a look at this:

[TommySharp]

I know this is a basic question but what do I need to buy to program this using USB from my PC? So far I've just tinkered with Nanos which have a usb port on it.... An ebay link would be great!

[korttoma]

@TommySharp something like this or simlar http://www.itead.cc/foca.html

[Dwalt]

@TommySharp
I just changed over to the iBoard Ethernet gateway from serial. I used the FTDI breakout board to program it. Very simple to use. The FTDI board is also needed for programming pro minis.

[tbully]

Hello Everyone. Sorry to bother you. I somehow screwed up my iBoard (hardware / trace modification) sketch/config today and was hoping someone could help me think through this.

I was having a problem with one of my far away sensors from hearing the gateway so I thought I'd increase power. When I compiled and uploaded the code, I started getting: "0;0;3;0;9;radio init fail"

I thought maybe my MyConfig.H file was incorrect. However, I referenced this schematic (and took in to account @gregl 's wiring changes), and my values look OK. The original setup URL referenced by Greg no longer exists on the MySensor page. Mysensors Ethernet

I tried changing the radio and supply on a whim. That didn't make a difference (not surprised as it has been working fine for months before trying to change the power setting)

Here's my sketch followed by my config file. Please help.....

Sketch

/**
 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each

 *******************************
 *
 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
 * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex, 
 * Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
 *
 * 
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the ethernet link. 
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * The GW code is designed for Arduino 328p / 16MHz.  ATmega168 does not have enough memory to run this program.
 * 
 *
 * COMPILING WIZNET (W5100) ETHERNET MODULE
 * > Edit MyConfig.h in (libraries\MySensors\) to enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").
 *
 * COMPILING ENC28J60 ETHERNET MODULE
 * > Use Arduino IDE 1.5.7 (or later) 
 * > Disable DEBUG in Sensor.h before compiling this sketch. Othervise the sketch will probably not fit in program space when downloading. 
 * > Remove Ethernet.h include below and include UIPEthernet.h 
 * > Remove DigitalIO include 
 * Note that I had to disable UDP and DHCP support in uipethernet-conf.h to reduce space. (which means you have to choose a static IP for that module)
 *
 * VERA CONFIGURATION:
 * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin. 
 * E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error  
 * 
 * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.

I vaguely remember getting the 'radio inti fail' error when i first setup my iBoard (with hardware mod) and the only difference i see between my sketch and yours is mapping the inclusion button and led pins to analog pin numbers.

#define INCLUSION_MODE_TIME 1 // Number of minutes inclusion mode is enabled
#define INCLUSION_MODE_PIN  14 // Digital pin used for inclusion mode button A0

#define RADIO_CE_PIN        3  // radio chip enable
#define RADIO_SPI_SS_PIN    8  // radio SPI serial select

#define RADIO_ERROR_LED_PIN 15  // Error led pin A1
#define RADIO_RX_LED_PIN    16  // Receive led pin A2
#define RADIO_TX_LED_PIN    17  // the PCB, on board LED A3

[tbully]

Thanks @Dwalt I'm pulling my hair out here.

Pin 5 should matter (nor should the others) as it is freed up with the "hardware mod" of @gregl 's engineering.

I changed all four settings anyway, just in case. No go.

Starting to wonder if something is going on with the board.......

[tbully]

To close the loop on this (and to help future dwellers), a new board solved the issue. Not sure what wasn't working properly on the old board but I'm up and running again (with the same old radio, supply, etc).

Also, since I've learned a little and now understand a few of the configs better since my original iBoard build, I was able to do this WITHOUT the hardware mod.

I set the following in MyConfig.H:

const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 6; 
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 5; 
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 7;

My failure from several months ago was not setting the CE and SS pins properly in my sketch. I also took @Dwalt 's advice and updated my inclusion and LED pins (even though I didn't use them):

#define INCLUSION_MODE_TIME 1 // Number of minutes inclusion mode is enabled
#define INCLUSION_MODE_PIN  14 // Digital pin used for inclusion mode button A0

#define RADIO_CE_PIN        3  // radio chip enable
#define RADIO_SPI_SS_PIN    8  // radio SPI serial select

#define RADIO_ERROR_LED_PIN 15  // Error led pin A1
#define RADIO_RX_LED_PIN    16  // Receive led pin A2
#define RADIO_TX_LED_PIN    17  // the PCB, on board LED A3

[cleight]

Hello,

I have been trying to get my iBoard working correctly for a few months on and off and finally got it up and running with good range and things are working good. However I am having an issue with the gateway always being stuck in inclusion mode, I have the following sketch, I would like to retain the onboard LED's but I don't have an inclusion button or need one since I can start the inclusion process from Vera. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 *******************************
 *
 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
 * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex, 
 * Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
 *
 * 
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the ethernet link. 
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * The GW code is designed for Arduino 328p / 16MHz.  ATmega168 does not have enough memory to run this program.
 * 
 *
 * COMPILING WIZNET (W5100) ETHERNET MODULE
 * > Edit MyConfig.h in (libraries\MySensors\) to enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").
 *
 * COMPILING ENC28J60 ETHERNET MODULE
 * > Use Arduino IDE 1.5.7 (or later) 
 * > Disable DEBUG in Sensor.h before compiling this sketch. Othervise the sketch will probably not fit in program space when downloading. 
 * > Remove Ethernet.h include below and include UIPEthernet.h 
 * > Remove DigitalIO include 
 * Note that I had to disable UDP and DHCP support in uipethernet-conf.h to reduce space. (which means you have to choose a static IP for that module)
 *
 * VERA CONFIGURATION:
 * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin. 
 * E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error  
 * 
 * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.

@gregl or anyone with info

this is the second iboard gateway to be set up for me. The first went off without a hitch. It was and is still up and running flawlessly, how ever there is aproblem I have to day.

I believe I have used the same program as is indicated in this thread and have done so by the h/w method.

When using the arduino 1.6.5 IDE and set to Duemilove board 328 processer and proper USB port, when using the serial moniter the message "0,0,3,0,14 gateway started " is what is shown.

However when Iboard is plugged into Ethernet port on modem, there is no interaction on the vera 3 dashboard (ui5) and for the life of me I can not figure out the issue.
The power LED as well as LINK ,SPD, FDX are on steady with occasional blinks of the Rx led
suggesting there is some communication between iboard and modem. As there is no check wires, all in the board seems well.

Any ideas on the problemI? I have tried different rf24 and power supplies or have I forgot to do something with the vera. I had usb gateway but it has been deleted from vera3.
Thanks doug.

Edit When I go to the router and inspect for connected things the Iboard does show up under the proper reserved ip (10.0.0.20) with port 5003.

This unit is in remote home and first unit is at residence, both with own vera but both use the same mac dead beef feed.

[Dwalt]

@5546dug It sounds like everything is working correctly with the iBoard itself, did you configure the MySensors plugin for the IP of the GW? When I switched from serial GW to iBoard, I did not delete the plugin, I just entered the IP Addy in the plugin settings and boom, everything worked, and zero hiccups with the GW ever since.

[5546dug]

@Dwalt I think this where the issue is I cant seem to get the My Sensors plug in to show on the vera3 dashboard.

[5546dug]

@Dwalt I believe your reply caught my problem, in IP address bar I was missing the semi colons on the DEADBEEFFEED mac, It would appear that the issue has been resolved for now .

Thanks a lot!

[Mercury69]

Dear All,

I just buyed an iboard and following your instruction I tried to get it working in my domoticz configuration, but without success.

As at today MySensors library is updated to ver. 2, can you please tell me how to proceed in order to have it working correctly ?

I used the sketch available in MySensors Library in my arduino IDE 1.6.13, but I never able to ping it from my computer.

As for now I prefere don't go for hardware modification, can you please suggest me what kind of modification I have to do and where I have to do it ?

Because I don't know if I have to modify only the sketch or if I have to modify the file MyConfig.h or what other file I have to modify.

Thank you in advance for your help.

[TimO]

@TimO

Thank you very much for your help, now I succesfully connected my iboard card as LAN Gateway without doing any HW modification and even any software modification to any library, simply using the sketch you sent here.

For general information to other people that want to use the iboard card with Domoticz, to avoid any problem like the following:

2016-12-18 12:06:40.840 MySensors: trying to connect to: 192.168.1.133:5603
2016-12-18 12:06:41.841 MySensors: connected to: 192.168.1.133:5603
2016-12-18 12:06:45.841 MySensors: Connection reset!
2016-12-18 12:06:45.842 TCP: Reconnecting in 30 seconds...

Consider to use the Arduino IDE 1.6.8 to compile and upload the sketch, otherwise, with newest Arduino IDE you will get the error messages above.

Thank you again for you help and a big hello to all the members of the forum.

Regards
