Is it possible to get the debug data over ethernet? It would be nice if you could remote debug your gateway.
-
Not sure I understand...
If you enable debug on gateway, I_LOG entries (with the debug information) is sent over ethernet (or serial) depending on the variant you use.
-
@hek Really? That's nice. I use Sensebender GW with #define MY_DEBUG and #define MY_GATEWAY_W5100. Maybe using MY_SPECIAL_DEBUG?
-
Oh, the sensebender gateway might be different as it has a some additional functionality (multi hardware serial ports). Need to ping @tbowmo for a correct answer here.
-
@NiklasO if you want to debug the gateway you could use the MYSController and connect it to the ethernet gateway over LAN.
-
Ah, I see. The "MySensors Debug" does only show data when you use the serial connection?
-
If you have configured it as a ethernet GW, it still dumps debug data to the serial port.
Once I had plans to make a tcp connection to a debug channel, but never got any further with it.
-
Debugging over Lan connection is so much simpler because you can leave the gateway in its place and move around with your laptop 😁
-
I totally agree, but there is only 24 hours a day.. With family, work etc there is just not enough time to realize all my ideas.
-
Sure, that's why I suggested to use myscontroller since it can be used to debug pretty much everything you need to know out of the gateway.
