Cant't get MQTTGateway to work

[Soloam]

Yes I think so! It's the one one the MySensor Store, the red one!

Could you just try the W5100 Gateway sketch in the dev-branch it should be ready to run without any reconfiguration.

The 5100 if pretty power hungry, are you able to test it with a bench power supply while testing?

Hello @hek !

I tested the W5100 Gateway sketch but nothing happens, I don't see nothing in the serial monitor and I can't ping the IP! I tested also without defining the IP, but no DHCP request is made to my router!

I also tested like you suggested, with a external power supply just to the W5100, no success!

Thank You

This is so annoying! I tried this code:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

const int W5100_RESET_PIN = 8;

byte mac[] = {
  0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED
};

IPAddress MY_IP(192,168,1,177);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println(F("node starting..."));
  pinMode(W5100_RESET_PIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(W5100_RESET_PIN, LOW);
  delay(100);
  digitalWrite(W5100_RESET_PIN, HIGH);
  // give the Ethernet shield a second to initialize:
  delay(3000);

  Serial.print(F("static IP..."));
  Ethernet.begin(mac, IPAddress(MY_IP));
  
  Serial.print(F("local IP:"));
  Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
  Serial.println(F("node started."));
}

void loop() {

}

I found it online! Look at the IP (192.168.1,177)! This is the output from serial:

node starting...
static IP...local IP:232.64.0.0
node started.

If I run it again the IP changes! =/

Seems, that your ip adresses dont match your network. What is the ip of your router? The first 3 numbers have to match in a normal home network...

Are you aware how to do that?

[Soloam]

The IP is in the range! I have several networks at my home, I tested it in all! In the case above the router IP is 192.168.1.1.

Can it be a defected network module? =/

[Soloam]

I ordered 2 new W1500 modules to test out! Now I need to wait for them to arrive!

Hello, found a solution that solved my problem! You can use the topic https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=351477.msg2662072#msg2662072 as reference! I soldered the 100ohm as described and it worked 100%.

Thank you all

Which total wire length is between the W5100 and the next active port (switch/router) ?

[Soloam]

Wire Length? Way is this important? The problem was solved soldering te 2 resistors! The cable length is a normal small cable going to the router
