Help Me!!! Hardware problem arduino uno gateway

[gigi]

I would like to create a gateway ed a humidity sensor node

I purchased two radio nRF24L01 and 2 arduino nano and 1 DHT-11

Gatheway
I connected all cable but I realized the arduino nano are Chinese and have a serial communication protocol different from the original arduino nano.

I then abandoned the gateway with serial!!!

I have another arduino uno whit ethernet shield!!!!

loaded the sketck connected the cables but arduino crashes

I followed the discussion forum

###########
uncomment (remove //) #define SOFTSPI

change pin numbers as below:
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 15;
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 14;
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 16;

Connecto radio and gateway as per instructions for ethernet gateway except MISO, MOSI and SCK.
These connect as below
radio MOSI to arduino A0,
radio MISO to arduino A1,
radio SCK to arduino A2.

comment UIPEthernet.h (//#include <UIPEthernet.h>)
uncomment Ethernet.h (#include <Ethernet.h>)

choose IP address
###########

arduino uno don' respond at ping if i remove a radio module.

Thank for all

No clone Uno I suppose? How do the leds work? Any debug from serial monitor?

[gigi]

Arduino Uno genuine!!!

Have you tried to power from the DC-in socket instead of the usb. I think I've read that just the usb isn't enough for the ethernet shield. And avoid use both at the same time unless you're really sure about that it wont destroy anything.
Edit: You should be safe with keeping the usb connected and using a good quality supply. And of course you'll need the usb to debug.

server.write(writeBuffer); in EthernetGateway.ino stops arduino!!!

If I comment server.write(writeBuffer); in function writeEthernet(char *writeBuffer) arduino uno receive and transmit data via radio.

My configuration!!!!

circuit diagram

in RF24_config.h
enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").

change
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 15;
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 14;
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 16;

• This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or

• version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation.
• DESCRIPTION
• The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the ethernet link.
• The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
• The GW code is designed for Arduino 328p / 16MHz. ATmega168 does not have enough memory to run this program.
• COMPILING WIZNET (W5100) ETHERNET MODULE

• Edit RF24_config.h in (libraries\MySensors\utility) to enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").

• COMPILING ENC28J60 ETHERNET MODULE

• Use Arduino IDE 1.0.6 or 1.5.7 (or later)

• Not compatible with Arduino IDE < 1.0.6 / 1.5.7 ! (use of EthernetClient operator ==)

• Disable DEBUG in Sensor.h before compiling this sketch. Othervise the sketch will probably not fit in program space when downloading.

• Remove Ethernet.h include below and include UIPEthernet.h

• Remove DigitalIO include

• Note that I had to disable UDP and DHCP support in uipethernet-conf.h to reduce space. (which means you have to choose a static IP for that module)
• VERA CONFIGURATION:
• Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin.
• E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
• LED purposes:
• • RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
• • TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
• • ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
• See http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.
• in RF24_config.h
• decommentare #define SOFTSPI riga 28 enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").
• const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 15;
• const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 14;
• const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 16;
• radio Pin
• ARDUINO RADIO
• pin 5 --> CE
• pin 6 --> CSN
• pin A0 --> MOSI
• pin A1 --> MISO
• pin A2 --> SCK

Please indent any code 4 spaces before pasting to make it easier to read.
Did you try an external power source?

[kalle]

Im not sure it is a typo or you tried to ping different IP's

In the third post you write "but no ping to 192.168.0.66" instead of 192.168.0.166 which is written in the sketch, maybe this is the problem.

I don't try external power source. In this moment is connect to usb cable from pc!!

Ip is 192.168.0.166

What is your progress? Now it works?
It is better to use a power supply instead of USB power with the Ethernetshield.

I put arduino and ethernet and shield directly connected with PC USB.
Are two weeks and works without problems.

even if the PC is powered off the USB supply current!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!!

Nice to hear everything works fine.

Hello, I only managed to make it work ties in:
#define SOFTSPI
#ifdef SOFTSPI
const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 12; //A0
     const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 11; // A1
     const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 13; // A0
#endif

I do not know how to explain.
