Arduino Mega 2560 Ethernet Gateway - Cant get it going.



  • Hello all

    I am in the process of moving my gateway over to an Arduino Mega 2560 R3.....presently it is running on an UNO R3 but that is my template device and I kinda want it back for that. Im using a W5100 Ethernet Shield, found here

    My base gateway code comes from this post.

    And my wiring is; (power is just off the Mega for testing only)
    NRF - MEGA
    Vcc - 3.3V
    Gnd - Gnd
    CE - 49 with change made in code
    CSN - 53 with change made in code
    SCK - 52
    MOSI - 51
    MISO - 50

     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

     * REVISION HISTORY
     * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
     * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,

     *
     * 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.
     *
     * LED purposes:
     * - To use the feature, uncomment MY_DEFAULT_xxx_LED_PIN in the sketch below
     * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message received. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation received
     * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
     * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or receive crc error
     *
     * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.

    But no matter what I do I get the following error.  Ive read through every post I can find here and nothing seems to get me going.
    

    0 MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGA---,VER=2.3.0
    3 TSM:INIT
    4 TSF:WUR:MS=0
    11 !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
    12 TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
    14 TSM:FAIL:DIS
    15 TSF:TDI:TSL```

    Any ideas? If I load any other gateway sketch it fires up without a problem.

    Thanks a bunch.

  • @dbagioni did you have a reason to change the CE and CSN pins?

    Look at the link text message that was tested earlier today for connections with example sketches included with MySensors library.

    Try with standard connections and then change to your new pin numbers.



  • I hadn't seen that, as it appears it was posted after I had written my post.
    I had changed the CE/CSN pins based on the tutorial written on the Site and numerous other posters had states they had to make those changes to get the Mega and W5100 Shiled to work.

    I will give this a try and see what happens.

    Thanks you for the point in this directions.....Y'All rock
