Usage problem with 2.0 library
-
ideally meaning if you want to be sure to have no issue :)
but for testing, you're right, it's perahps better to assemble a small test setup and see how it behaves before updating. -

Ofcourse.. No Nuts no glory, I thought :) So updated my gateway..
Now, updating went well: I see this in the logs of the gateway:

But now, my domoticz doesn't connect correclty :( It does an initial connection, but I get an connection reset after a few seconds.
Anyone tried this with Domoticz? I would not have expected this :(<edit>
Hmm.. Gateway is not functioning correctly I guess.. In the troubleshooting guide I think I should see more at the end: (Copy/paste from this site):

So it does not initialize correctly I think... but why? -

looks like your GW is rebooting..
What's your hardware for GW?I use an Arduino Uno and the W5100 Module, not the shield which you can click on an Uno..
I know in the past when I created the module, I needed to enable "//#define MY_SOFTSPI" in MyConfig.h... Tried it again, no luck.. Checked the wiring, nothing strange here..also nothing was changed on the wiring part, so I thought I would expect the same result...

oki so you're using softspi. i guess you're using NRF24 radio ?
I am checking with a few people if softspi is working ok with rfm69 (but i'm not using ethernet gw).
Just to be sure, can you confirm : W5100 SS/CSN pin on Arduino D10, and Radio SS/CSN pin on D6, right?
I'll look later today. I hope we will be able to get rid of the softspi ;) -
Thanks.. I am not sure what is going wrong at this stage.
I am using an indeed a NRF24 radio, but I use the one with an external antenna (such as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-4G-1100m-Module-NRF24L01-PA-LNA-Communication-SMA-Antenna-Wireless-Transceiver-/172255694961?hash=item281b3d5071)
I use an external antenna because of the range and because I can make a cleaner box around it ;)Also my W5100 is slightly different, because alternative names are printed on the bottem. It has the same labels as the topicstarter here: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/467/ethernet-gateway-troubleshooting-advice
But it worked like a charm for the last 1,5 years :)
But to give you an answer.. the SS/CSN is called NSS on my W5100 and this is the D10. Think this is OK?
The Radio CSN is connected to D6 -

can you upload your gw and node sketch, so i can see your defines please?
Hi, I am only busy with the GW at this moment, I have not altered any sensor yet to 2.0 (Got 7 nodes).. this was the next phase :) I only have a lux sensor on y Breadboard running on MySensors 2.0
I used the sketch from the example libary, the same as on the build page of MySensors: (https://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway) and used the "WizNET (W5100) Ethernet module" sketch.
Things I have tested:
- Enabled "//#define MY_W5100_SPI_EN 4" in the sketch. This resulted in a radio error:
- Changed the "//#define MY_SOFTSPI" in MyConfig.h, didn't seem to do anything when I enabled that. I have tested it where I have Enabled step 1, then it didn't give me an error on the radio... but it didn't fix anything also. Disabled step 1. Same result.
Don't know what I can test more :)
If you need anything, just let know. :)
-
Think I have fixed it :)
I found this topic: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4680/mysensors-2-0-ethernet-gateway-atmega-w5100-restart-all-time/5
The answer for me was to downgrade the Arduino AVR Boards to version 1.6.11 (Using Tools/Boards/Boardsmanager) ... It seems there is a bug in the newer release of this tool and the W5100. So hopefully this issue can be fixed, so that in newer releases this is OK. Maybe it is wise to add this to the Ethernet Gateway Page when using a W5100 and Mysensors 2.0 ;)
