Ethernet Gateway - 0;0;3;0;9;check wires

HA! I just came here to post what I had found and saw your post. My problem was also the power supply! I connected my Ethernet board to a different 3.3v power supply and BAM! Worked on the first try. Apparently the Arduino doesnt have enough juice to power both the Radio and Ethernet cards.

Now I see Gateway Startup Complete on my debugger, but when I connect the Ethernet cable to my router nothing happens. I have set up the following DHCP Reservation on my router: 192.168.10.20 - DE:AD:BE:EF:FE:ED

Is this the correct MAC Address I should be using? I have already set the IP on my sketch to match the one above.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks!

I dont think it supports DHCP - so assign a static IP in the sketch.

@gregl

I assigned the static IP in the sketch. But in my router I need to set up a DHCP reservation to always provide that specific IP to my gateway right?

This is what my uipethernet-conf.h looks like. I commented the UDP section out. Is that correct?

#ifndef UIPETHERNET_CONF_H
#define UIPETHERNET_CONF_H

/* for TCP */
#define UIP_SOCKET_NUMPACKETS 5
#define UIP_CONF_MAX_CONNECTIONS 4

/* for UDP */
//#define UIP_CONF_UDP 1
//#define UIP_CONF_BROADCAST 1
//#define UIP_CONF_UDP_CONNS 4

/* number of attempts on write before returning number of bytes sent so far

• set to -1 to block until connection is closed by timeout */
  #define UIP_ATTEMPTS_ON_WRITE -1

/* timeout after which UIPClient::connect gives up. The timeout is specified in seconds.

• if set to a number <= 0 connect will timeout when uIP does (which might be longer than you expect...) */
  #define UIP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT -1

#endif

Shouldn't need to do any reserving in your DHCP server if it's hardcoded into your sketch.

Leave the UDP defines in, just change the value, the 3 line section should look like:

#define UIP_CONF_UDP 0
#define UIP_CONF_BROADCAST 1
#define UIP_CONF_UDP_CONNS 4

Note that UIP_CONF_UDP is now 0 not one.

So I changed my code as you recommended, and re-uploaded the sketch. Everything looks fine, I can even see my gateway communicating with one of my sensors in the debugger, but my gateway wont communicate with my Vera.

I set the IP Address in the settings for my device in Vera to be the same as in the sketch (192.168.178.66:5003), but when i hit Start it says:

"Cannot Send Command. Communication Error."

When I connect my gateway to my router nothing happens. No lights blinking or anything.
Anything else Im missing?

Thanks!

If it doesn't get a link light on the device and on the switch/router you plug it into -- something must be wired wrong. Double check all the wires going to the ENC board, starting with the power and ground. If you get a link light, you can try to 'telnet 192.168.178.66 5003' from a Terminal/Shell/Command prompt (dunno if you are on Linux/MacOS/WinXX). If it's working, that should get you connected and you should see commands going to/from the gateway.

IIRC there is a power LED on the ENC board as well that should be on.

@soward
I doubled checked all the wires and they look good. If I move them and connect in any other way I get a "Check Wires" error in the debugger when trying to initialize the Gateway.

The way I have it wired right now It initializes fine and I can see the gateway talking with my sensors.

The only thing is, if I connect both the Radio and the Ethernet card to the 3.3V pin in the Arduino directly, I get the "Check Wires" error. It seems like the Arduino doesnt have enough power for both cards, so I have the VCC and Ground pins on my Ethernet card connected to a different 3.3V power source and I was wondering if that maybe could be the problem.

How is your Gateway wired? Do you have both the Radio and the Ethernet cards connected directly?

Thanks for the Help!

I have ENC28J60-I/SO connected by ethernetcable to my Asus RT-n66u in LAN 4. But It will not show up in my router... On my ENC28J60 there is a red light on D1 and the ethernet port has a green light and a yellow flashing light.

Serial monitor says 0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete. But nothing more. I have followed the ethernet gateway guide and set an static ip in the sketch.. DHCP is on in my router.

The only thing I see in my router is : That the cable is connected to something and that its 10 Half duplex.

I have also tried to connect it to other LAN ports but no difference

What could be wrong?

@rafael.brasilia Did you ever get this sorted? as i am having the same issue

[mscott]

Same here. I'm probably going to just order a wiznet since that seems to be consistently working for most.
