Ethernet gateway and receive function



  • I have an ethernet gw based on Arduino Uno + W5100, working as expected.
    I tried to add an actuator (a simple relay), thus I added the usual "receive" function to the script, but at this point the ethernet stopped sending messages to others nodes.

    I tried filtering the destination, sensors type etc. but it still doesn't work.
    I suppose I should "forward" the messages manually in my receive function, correct?
    Does someone have a working example?

    Thanks
    Daniele

    @danielef hard to say without looking at your code, but my guess is that you're doing something in receive that blocks normal processing.

    I am not sure if I have seen any sketches with actuators on the gateway, but it should be the same as other nodes.

    You should not forward messages manually.



  • The code is really basic, taken from the ethernet gw template simply adding the receive function:

    
    #define MY_DEBUG
    
    #define MY_GATEWAY_W5100
    
    #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 3
    #define MY_RF24_IRQ_PIN 2
    #define MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE 6
    
    #define MY_IP_ADDRESS 192,168,1,20
    #define MY_IP_GATEWAY_ADDRESS 192,168,1,1
    #define MY_IP_SUBNET_ADDRESS 255,255,255,0
    #define MY_PORT 5003
    #define MY_MAC_ADDRESS 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED
    
    #if defined(MY_USE_UDP)
    #include <EthernetUdp.h>
    #endif
    #include <Ethernet.h>
    
    #define CHILD_ID_LIGHT 1
    
    #include <MyRF24_P2_GW.h>
    #include <MySensors.h>
    
    
    
    
    void setup()
    {
    
    }
    
    void presentation()
    {
    
      present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_BINARY, "P2 Luci Armadio");
    
    }
    
    void loop() {
    
      
    }
    
    void receive(const MyMessage &message)
    {
    
      if (message.type == V_STATUS && message.sensor == CHILD_ID_LIGHT && !message.isAck()) {
        #ifdef MY_DEBUG
        Serial.println("*** Receiving ***");
        #endif
        statoLuci = message.getBool();
      }
    
    }

    @danielef thanks for sharing the code. It looks good. What does the debug output look like?



  • Sorry for the late response, I've been away for a few days.
    The debug output looks very odd to me:

    @danielef the sketch you posted does not compile

    'statoLuci' was not declared in this scope
    

    are you sure this is the code you are using?
    Is there anything in MyRF24_P2_GW.h that we need to know about?

    From the log, it looks like the node is repeatedly calling Init, without reboot. That is very strange.

    MyRF24_2_GW.h contains simply some common defines I use for all the nodes connected to this GW:

    #define MY_RF24_CHANNEL 115

    #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL   RF24_PA_HIGH
    #endif
    
    #ifndef MY_PARENT_NODE_ID
    #define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0
    #define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC
    #endif
