Newbie problem



  • Hi guys,

    I'm trying to make my first mysensors ethernet gateway, but somehow I'm in trouble.
    I have Arduino Uno r3 plus w5100 ethernet shield + nrf24l01 radio. My code is the following:

    /**
     * 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.
     *

     * REVISION HISTORY
     * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
     * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,

     *
     *
     * 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.

    I tried simple w5100 demo webserver sketch, everything works. Tried nrf24l01 without a shield with blink sensor example and connetcted to ports 9,10,11,12,13 and it seems working. But when the shield and the radio are together I can't even ping the gateway.
    And have the error above.

    What did I wrong?

    Regrds,

    @Redpages use the wiring guide on https://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway

    The wiring is different from other sensors because the ethernet shield has problems with sharing SPI.

    @Redpages Make sure you are using the correct wiring and also you should comment out the line

    //#define MY_W5100_SPI_EN 4
    

    That line is stopping soft spi



  • @Boots33

    The wiring is correct, it's a hard wired shield. As you can see above that line is uncommented.

    Thx

  • Hero Member

    @Redpages You need to comment it out. it is not needed for the shield and will stop spi from being used



  • @Redpages

    The problem is that the Ethernet shield is not responding even to a simple ping. And it should even without a radio. If I load web server demo sketch everything is fine.

    I tried to disconnect nrf, changed spi ports, triple checked wiring.

    You are the hero of the day! Thank you. I was about to use my 3kg hammer to demonstrate something lol. Awesome. It works now!

    Thank you,

    Janos

    @Redpages the gateway will not work with the shield if you do not comment out that line. and the wiring should be as below. Ignore the extra power module.

    @Redpages well done. let the fun begin 🙂



  • @Boots33

    I have a 10 pin nrf but the wiring is the same. It works now. That linechange did the trick!
