GW not working after upgrade 1.x -> 2.1

[gohan]

Are you sure the MY_USE_UDP and my controller ip address are needed?

[Cinpou]

not at all, that's why i try with or without these settings

[gohan]

These are the only defines I set about the ethernet

#define MY_GATEWAY_W5100
#define MY_IP_RENEWAL_INTERVAL 60000
#define MY_PORT 5003
#define MY_MAC_ADDRESS 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED

I am using DHCP reservation on my WiFi router.

Just trying to think outside the box. Did you try to ping the node? If you have access to nmap, scan the node to see if it shows the correct open port on your network. Since you are setting a static IP, you should make sure that the IP is not in your DHCP pool, otherwise it could get pushed to another device to where the two devices could fight on the network. If your router is capable of doing DHCP reservations, it may be better to set a reservation as @gohan did.

Everything went worse...
I've tried to change the W5100 module, the arduino, the radio, erase eeprom, update the soft, change the ethernet calble, nothing...
In the monitor, i see the ip displaying random value, actually 255.255.255.255.

I tried DHCP, it can't obtain an IP.

Before things get worst, i've pinged the gateway successfully. And it obtained an IP in DHCP.

I've lost the day on it... Will try tomorrow from the beginning...

I check the router, i can't se

[gohan]

what ide version are you using? and what boards definitions are you using?

[Cinpou]

Once it randomly turn on an ip compatible with my network. I can connect with MYScontroller, and view the node.But the information returned has a bad encoding. Part of the message contained strange characters.

The DHCP mode can't take an ip from the server. In my router, i've found a trace of the gw. The name of the node contains also invalid characters.

I've install ubuntu on an other computer to test the environnement.
Same results. The arduino return a random ip.

I've tested with 1.6.7 and 1.8.5 IDE.
What do you mean by board definition? I've tested with a nano 32, a uno and a mega.

On both ubuntu and windows, i've an error in the console while transmitting the code to the board : "ATTENTION : Faux .mystools dossier dans la bibliothèque 'MySensors'" (Bad .mystools directory in the library MySensors)

[gohan]

In Arduino ide, look in board manager and check what is the version of the arduino board version you are using.

The warning you get is not an issue, I have it too, just ignore it.

[Cinpou]

Arduino AVR release 1.6.20, is it what you mean?

[gohan]

Try installing the 1.6.11 or 1.6.13

[Cinpou]

nope... i've tested 1.6.11 .13 and .2

thanks for your help. Do you have another idea?

[gohan]

I'm running out of options...

Hi all,

I. m facing similar problems. like you. I was working on upgrading my network to 2.1.1. I got stuck with strange behaviour of the GW. I programmed it with:
IDE version: 1.8.4
Arduino AVR release: 1.6.20
The latest 2.1.1 downloaded libraries and the latest GW version.

After connecting the GW to my network, i was perfectly able to ping it. MYScontroller could connect, however sending a command to the gateway rusults in an error (ERROR 10054).

I've been fighting with it for a day, exchanging compontents, rebuilding SW, etc.

Here is what solved it!
Changed the AVR release to 1.6.11

I know there are problems in AVR 1.6.X, but these should have been solved in 1.6.18 and higher. Apperantly that is not the case.

I hope this helps!
