      @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.

            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.
             *
             * Created by Henrik Ekblad <henrik.ekblad@mysensors.org>

             *******************************
             *
             * REVISION HISTORY
             * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
             * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,
             * Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
             * Contribution by Tomas Hozza <thozza@gmail.com>
             *
             *
             * 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 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

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

              Thx

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

                  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.

                      @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 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.

                            @Boots33

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