Ethernet Gateway not showing on network



  • I've built an ethernet gateway with a genuine Arduino Uno and an ENC28J60 ethernet module. I was getting a check wires error until I started powering the ENC28J60 with a seperate power supply. Now I am getting the Gateway Startup Complete message, which is great, but when I try to ping my device it is not on my network.

    Here is my sketch if that is helpful:

    /**
     * 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
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

     * 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.

  • Admin

    You might wanna update to the development branch and try the ENC-gateway sketch there.



  • I've updated with no luck. Here is my serial monitor output:

    0;0;3;0;9;Starting gateway (1.6.0-beta)
    0;0;3;0;9;Radio init successful.
    IP: 192.168.1.25
    0;0;3;0;9;Init complete, id=0, parent=0, distance=0

    When I ping 192.168.1.25, I get "Destination host unreachable."



  • Hi,
    I have the same problem.
    I'm building a mqtt gateway with a dccduino and a ENC28J60 ethernet module, 1.6.6 Arduino IDE, 1.5 mysensors library.
    I used the mysensors sketch for mqtt gateway and your sketch with the same results.
    After that I tried the webserver sketch example from the arduino IDE and ... it works : I can ping the ethernert card and reach the arduino webserver.
    Then my wiring is right and I think something wrong in mysensors library.



  • For me the problem was the hang in setup at gw.begin call.
    I solved reading this old topic : http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/773/ethernetgateway-hangs-after-gateway-startup-complete.
