Which Arduino IDE version?

[tbowmo]

@sundberg84

Its a bug in the compiler. Which should be fixed in a newer version of gcc. @tekka did some investigations together with arduino folks on this. So I think he has more info

[tekka]

@sundberg84 Yes, read here for further information related to the compiler bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77326

@Yveaux Today we uploaded the serial gateway with soft SPI. The radio initializes and the gateway doesn't reset. Tonight my colleague will try it home, since it would interfere with my own serial gateway network. But I think it will work. Never did soft SPI on a serial gateway, and probably no one has ever tried that before ;-)

[TheoL]

@tekka Great job. Hopefully they'll soon release a bug fix for this.

[TheoL]

Confirmed that soft SPI also works an a Serial Gateway. Uploaded 2.0 on that one and tested with 1.5 sketch.

[tekka]

@TheoL Maybe important for your MySensors tutorial: I suggest using Arduino IDE 1.6.11 with AVR board defs 1.6.11 (1.6.12 and 1.6.13 seem buggy, at least regarding the Ethernet lib)

[sundberg84]

@tekka - If i want to build myself a ethernet gw with 2.0 it should work if i download and use IDE < 1.6.12 ?

[tekka]

@sundberg84 Not IDE, but AVR board defs 1.6.11

[tlpeter]

And how do i downgrade AVR board devs?

[Anduril]

in your IDE go to tools -> boards: "..." -> board manager and there select Arduino AVR board in the correct version.

[tlpeter]

Thanks, i would not have found that by myself :smile:

[petewill]

It has been a long time since I've updated my IDE (currently running 1.6.6) and I wanted to update before I start converting everything to MySensors 2.0. I noticed that there is a newer version 1.6.12 and the bug reported above appears to have been fixed. Has anyone used the newest IDE and boards files? I will be using an Ethernet gateway but I'm not sure if it is still best to downgrade the boards files. Thanks!

[Mark Swift]

Crash still happens using the latest version, downgraded to 1.6.11 :(

[petewill]

@Mark-Swift I'm using IDE 1.6.12 and board defs 1.6.14 and my Ethernet gateway has been running for almost a week with no apparent issues. How often are you seeing the crash?

[Mark Swift]

My W5100 will not start with 1.6.14, it just reboots after getting an IP...

[petewill]

@Mark-Swift Wow, that's strange. What Ethernet library are you using? I'm on 1.1.2.

[Mark Swift]

@petewill same! :-(

I will try it again when I find a moment, I was using DCHP, are you?

[petewill]

@Mark-Swift No, I'm using a static IP.

An example of what my gateway does with 1.6.14

@Mark-Swift Strange. You're sure all the connections are correct? Are you trying to connect multiple devices to the gateway? Do you have two devices with the same MAC address? I didn't do much beyond the stock code. I am using the LEDs and inclusion mode with an NRF radio using softspi.
