Ethernet Gateway: No LAN traffic AFTER initial controller setup.
-
Aloha,
I have got a problem with my setup, which I describe below..
I have tested and re-tested the setup a few hundred times now, with no substantial success.Skipping ahead, the problem is that AFTER successfully initializing the gateway - controller communication, the gateway never sends any data to the controller.
This is my setup in detail:
- Gateway hardware is a 'standard' W5100 - NRF24L01 gateway, based upon an Arduino Nano with an inclusion button, but NO LED's. (serial debug is on).
- Wire connections have been triple checked. Radio communication is working (see below)
- Arduino IDE was originally 1.6.12, but I have also tested it on 1.8.1. Both versions have the same error.
- The code is the W5100 Gateway sketch from the "MySensors - Example" menu option. I have also tried the sketch from the MySensors "Build a Ethernet Gateway" homepage. I can successfully ping the Gateway, I can even telnet to it. Version is 2.1.0
- Soft-SPI, as in the example sketch.
- Static IP address and MAC-Address. Ping is working reliably.
- The controller is a current version of FHEM on a RasPi. (debug through logfile and 'tcpdump')
- The test nodes are "MySlim 2AA" Binary Switch Nodes with a NRF24L01 (serial debug is on). I have tested several sketches - even the standard sketches from Examples. Version is 2.1.0. The nodes are able to communicate through the radio link (see below).
This is what happens:
-
I'm starting FHEM on a RasPi. The gateway is defined in the FHEM config with the correct IP and Port.
-
Gateway boots up on power up (INIT):
0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGA--,VER=2.1.0 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT 0;255;3;0;9;TSF:WUR:MS=0 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT:TSP OK 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT:GW MODE 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0 0;255;3;0;9;MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED IP: 192.168.67.199 0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:STP 0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1
- I connect the Controller to the gateway through the FHEM Webpage (manually). During the connect, I can see traffic on the LAN between the controller and the Gateway going forth and back (through 'tcpdump' on the controller).

(of course I restarted the tcpdump immediately after this.. )
- Serial debug on the gateway during the connect, shows
Eth: connect
, but then INIT is repeated:

- The controller log file and web page show the Gateway as
opened
orconnected
respectively.

-
"inclusion-mode" and "autocreate" on the FHEM controller both are set to "1" - each new sensor should be auto-added into the controller IF the controller would ever see the data...
-
Sensor nodes were able to receive an ID previously, from the gateway
-
Sensor node is able to communicate to the gateway AND the gateway can answer back to the node on the radio.
When a sensor connects to the gateway in order to deliver its payload, this is the communication:

(... this looks like a sensible node-gateway communication to me )
- BUT: tcpdump on the controller during that time shows: NO TRAFFIC AT ALL!
root@raspi-3:~# tcpdump -A port 5003 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
So the problem seems to be that the gateway sends no data to the controller AFTER the initial connect...
I'm fiddling with that setup for days now (on and off), so ANY help will be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance...ohuf.

@ohuf :
Maybe it´s a simple thing. Please check your "boards.txt" file Version. Possibly in Version 1.8.1 the known failure of eternally rebooting W5100 (and probably ENC28J60 too) is propagated once more.Change "board.txt" to a known working Version (e.g. 1.6.11) as described in https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/5716/solved-w5100-ethernet-gateway-with-nrf24-stable-mysensors-2-1-0-problem/4.
Good luck!

@tboha :
Awesome! Thanks for that suggestion: it's working with the boards definition from 1.6.11 !!
The point is, I actually saw that post (the one you referenced in your answer) while looking for a solution in here, sometimes in the last few days; but I thought it wouldn't apply to the latest version, I was using as well....
bummerSo what I did was going into the Boards Manager in the IDE and switching the AVR board definition back to 1.6.11 AND i addition to that I was getting the old boards.txt from the 1.6.11 Git repository.
Is either of those two steps redundant/bad?
Thanks again,
ohuf.

Learned something new. Until now I even didn't know that boards.txt was available at GITHUB.
I think replacing boards.txt twice might be redundant, but this is a pure guess.Important for now is: have much fun with your new functional Gateway!
