[Solved] W5100 Ethernet Gateway with NRF24 stable MySensors 2.1.0 problem

[macieiks]

Hi Guys,
Today I decided to upgrade my MySenors Arduino UNO with W5100 shield + NRF PA version on it to the newer stable version 2.1.0. Unfortunately I am having problem with establishing connection to Domoticz stable release 3.5877.

I have run it for quite long time using MySensors beta 2.0.0 (I did it around half year ago) and beta's Domoticz without any issues.

Problem now is updated ethernet gateway keeps all the time reseting and cannot be seen properly in Domoticz hardware page. When I am checking debug logs I do not see anything suspicious:

As you can see it keeps all the time reseting. When I see output in Domoticz "MySensors: Connection reset!" I can see Arduino Uno is being reseted at this time (from Serial Monitor output)

I really tried to install beta 2.2.0 and also 2.0.0 from mysensors page on both stable and beta domoticz and still it is getting same error. Did anyone face any issue like this before?

To add, W5100 is normally pingable from Raspberry:

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz $ ping 192.168.0.5

/**
 * 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

 * 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.
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment MY_DEFAULT_xxx_LED_PIN in the sketch below
 * - 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.

Thank you in advance for help

@macieiks I got an identical Error last week after upgrading to Arduino 1.8.0. Solution is:
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4680/mysensors-2-0-ethernet-gateway-atmega-w5100-restart-all-time/4

simple: If you are running AVR board defs > 1.6.11, downgrade to 1.6.11 and the issue should be solved. (from @tekka).

If someone is interested: same Error for ENC28J60 Ethernet module, resolved with downgrading board definitions to 1.6.11.

@tboha

Hi, thank you for the update

EDIT::
Yes, I downgraded AVR boards to lower version and its working. Thanks ! you saved me tons of hours

[tboha]

@macieiks
for the sake of completeness - you do not have to downgrade your complete Arduino IDE, just "tweak" boards definitions. Board versions are not necessarily numbered according to Arduino version.

Sorry - I couldn´t get Enlish version at speed.
I probably reads "Tools"->"Board"->"Boardmanager"

I got 1.6.11 installed- so it is not available in drop down list.
Choose your desired version, hit "Install", wait a fairly long time and you are done.

@tboha
Yes I got it, Thank you very much for help!
