Ethernet Gateway using NRF 2401+ radio and W5100 stopped working



  • I am using the ver 2.2 libraries now and sice my 3 year old gateway just stopped working yesterday, I decided to replace it with the new and improved ver 2.2. But low and behold it worked for about a hour today then stopped and now can not get it to work at all.
    The serial monitor info states:
    Fellas
    I am using the Ethernet gateway program that came with update ver 2.2
    According to the serial port info the board is working fine.
    I have built a sensor using the same 2.2 library and the GW sees the sensor and report and acknowledges the sensor.
    The problem is that, MYSController will not connect to the GW thru the ip address of the GW it says "Connection Refused".
    Does anyone know why that would happen?

    and I can ping the gateway no problem

    and can ping the gateway.
    All components work as you can see, so I know the boards are good and the wiring is correct
    Can anyone help?

    @mntlvr

    !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
    

    This means the Arduino is unable to communicate with the nrf24. So the nrf24 is either broken, or incorrectly wired. Could you post photos of your wiring?



  • Thanks
    But as you can see I have the radio working by just choosing different lines of code to use, but I can not get W5100 to send and transmit and provide Ethernet connection so I can ping address.
    It seems no matter what combination of lines of code I choose it will not activate the W5100 board, but it was working and now does not. I even swapped W5100 board but same thing. I know I can not load the enable pin 4 because then the TSP fails.
