Big Wish - a working system including up-to-date Reference

I've tried to stress test again here but I still cannot reproduce the hangs.

Are you using this gateway sketch:
https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/tree/development/libraries/MySensors/examples/GatewayW5100

And this Relay sketch:
https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/tree/development/libraries/MySensors/examples/RelayActuator

Unmodified (except for WLAN SSID)?

The second one yes, but the first one, i´m not using a Ethernet Gateway, but a Wifi Gateway with the ESP8266

that´s the one i use: https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/tree/development/libraries/MySensors/examples/GatewayESP8266
nothing modified, even still with DHCP

I also have a Ethernet Gateway, which is running since months, the problems started with the Wifi / ESP Gateway

Could you maybe have a look at the link above ? In this thread, Yveaux asked you for some help, maybe tha´t the point the problem comes from ?

[hek]

Yes, I meant GatewayESP8266 ;)

I don't get the "read and forward" print at all. Even when sending out a command to the node (from telnet/nc).

I guess you've updated library to the latest and ESP as well in Board Manager?

[kr0815]

Yes, i erased and downloaded everything new 2 days ago

Did you see the other forum post ?

Really strange problem, i´d say i have a fake chip or something, but as it´s working with ESPEasy, i can´t imagine...

In Board manager, i´m using 2.0, should i also go to the developer version ?

[hek]

Yes, really strange. Just wish I could reproduce. Make things much easier to debug!

I'm using 2.1.0-rc2 of the esp.

[kr0815]

Could maybe someone upload the compiled binary ? Just to check all possible faults ?
The needed settings are:

• With DHCP
• SSID Power-LAN
• key kr08151020

Hi @hek

Thank you again for all the work you and the team do for the MySensors community - maybe we can help back? I read your post, and understand the family and full time job - it's two careers. Maybe if there was a community Wiki that we all could help maintain - this way when things change they are instantly updated?

Just throwing it out there.

Hello Hek,

i just saw in the german FHEM Forum, somebody has exactly the same Problems as me - but when switching back to the old / regular version, it works as expected, except the other problem with the long values.
SO it musst be a software thing, nothing hardware related

But as it is really strange you don´t get this problen, did any body else see it ?

[hek]

If you can reproduce this, It would be helpful if you could start adding debug prints in the library code to locate where it hangs to narrow down things.

Hello Hek,

thank you so much to try to help me - i found the problem now and i guess it´s the same problem many others have here:
On almost all ESP12 GPIO 4 and 5 are labeled wrong
I didn´t use a NodeMCU, but one of the other available boards

As the CE pin is then connected to the wrong GPIO, it seems to work, Radio init ok, but as soon as the gateway sends something, it crashes

Here are some interesting posts about that:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/437

Maybe you should ad this notice to the build-section for the wifi gateway ?

Best regards

Klaus
