[Solved] 2019 - Mega Board / 5100 Ethernet Shield -> Confirm Pin/etc Setup Please!



  • Hello,

    1. I've got an Elegoo Mega2560 r3 board with a Sunfounder 5100 Ethernet shield.
    2. There is NO radio on this board and it won't have one.
    3. I am trying to configure it as a MQTT gateway without transport to be concerned with local sensors only.
    4. This board/shield combo will init and get onto the network just fine using other sample basic (non-MySensors) tutorial sketches I've found, but not when running MySensors.

    -> I am trying to get the board to initialize, at this point I haven't complicated the basic MQTT gateway sample sketch with any I/O sensor configs; I am simply watching the Serial Monitor to see if the board inits and gets on the network.

    -> I know the Mega has potentially some configuration changes versus an Uno, but all of the threads I've researched and found are 2-3-4 years old and I don't know if things have been updated in the MySensors framework to support a Mega + 5100 Ethernet shield natively. Hopefully so!

    Specific Requests:

    1. If anyone could clarify what I need to change in my code to get this board/Eth shield working I would be MOST appreciative!

    2. I downgraded my Boards Manager version to 1.6.11 from 1.6.23 after reading some older threads about the Mega/5100 combo, what should I set this to?

    Here's my code.

     * 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
     *
     * DESCRIPTION
     * The W5100 MQTT gateway sends radio network (or locally attached sensors) data to your MQTT broker.
     * The node also listens to MY_MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX and sends out those messages to the radio network
     *
     * LED purposes:
     * - To use the feature, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
     * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message received. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation received
     * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
     * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or receive crc error
     *
     * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.
     * nRF24L01+  ESP8266
     * VCC        VCC
     * CE         GPIO4
     * CSN/CS     GPIO15
     * SCK        GPIO14
     * MISO       GPIO12
     * MOSI       GPIO13
     *
     * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
     * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
     * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
     * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
     * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
     * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
     * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
     * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
     *
      * Inclusion mode button:
     * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
     *
     * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
     *
     * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

  • UPDATE:
    I power cycled the board by physically removing the USB power/data cable and the board came up on the network + MQTT session to the broker was established!!

    For what it's worth and for future reference if anyone finds this thread:

    It appears the official MySensors Hello World ethernet gateway basic tutorial works great for the Mega/2560 board paired with a 5100 Ethernet shield.
