Which Arduino IDE version?

[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.

[Mark Swift]

@petewill I will need to check the connections, but it works once I roll back, so doubt it's connections? Just one controller, I disable the second one while testing. MAC address is unique, and the same in each sketch. It's baffling!

[Yveaux]

@petewill not everybody seems to experience the crashes. My gw is also running fine...
But it's a fact the board defs cause the issue ; it's confirmed by arduino and fixed in the compiler but it will probably take a while to make it into the official release.
Until then, if you experience reboots then downgrade the board defs.

[petewill]

@Yveaux Strange. Good to know though. :thumbsup: Thanks.
