Arduino Mega2560 with W5100 ethernet shield

I’ve build the latest OMG_VERSION “0.9.2” using VSC.
And I’m having a hard time to connecting to the router. (OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1)
MQTT runs at 192.168.1.100:1883 But receives nothing from the W5100.
I don’t see DHCP lease entry.
I’ve tried the extra capacitor on reset pins.
I’ve tried different power supplies and USB/network cables.
There are no sensors just the Arduino and W5100
Also I tried with dns and gateway 0.0.0.0
What did I do wrong?

The device is ping-able tru my LAN at 192.168.1.99

lars@lars-desktop:~/MicroPython$ ping 192.168.1.99 -c 5

Hello,

Are you using the last development version or the release one?

If GitHub clone = development and the .zip = release version.
Than I think I’m on the release version.
I followed a link “download the code from here”
There was a list of prebuild bins and ontop OMG 0.9.2 code.zip can’t find the page right now.

I’ll now try again with a recent GitHub clone.

Perhaps it a good idea to make a centralized:
“How to get started”
“How to setup VSC & platformio”
“How to obtain code”
“How to configure the code”

I found OMG quite interesting but I get confused with all the simultaneous info streams. Perhaps I’m stepping in OMG while it is in transition.

By the way I’m going for atmega with Pilight RF and RF2 GSM SMS if possible.

Hello,

Did you took a look to this documentation:

You should download the code from the release page:

I’m going to test if there is an issue with the development branch for arduino.

Today I’ve tried the OpenMQTTGateway-development from github.
In platformio.ini I uncommented:

default_envs = atmega-all

In User_config.h I uncommented:

#define ZgatewayRF     "RF"       //ESP8266, Arduino, ESP32
#define ZgatewayRF2    "RF2"      //ESP8266, Arduino, ESP32

And chanced:

char mqtt_user[20] = “testuser”; // not compulsory only if your broker needs authentication
char mqtt_pass[30] = “testpassword”; // not compulsory only if your broker needs authentication
char mqtt_server[40] = “192.168.1.100”;
char mqtt_port[6] = “1883”;

Now the serial output is missing: client disconnected
But still no sign of atmega OpenMQTTGateway on my MQTT broker.
And no DHCP lease in my router log.
192.168.1.99 is still pingable (leds on w5100 blinks when I ping)

It’s a pity you did not try the official release from the link I gave above.

Indeed I found that the dev branch has an issue when using W5100, this issue doesn’t exist in the official releases.

I will push a correction soon for the dev branch.

Fix implemented:

Thanks!!!

Yesterday I already tried the release version the zip from:
https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway/releases/download/v0.9.2/CODE-OpenMQTTGateway-V092.zip

I can try it again! If that helps? but first I’m try de developers again.

I’ve patched local files here and now:

Taaadaaa!!

Thank you for your quick response.

So what is the solution? What patches are you talking about?

The bypass implementation by 1technophile. See link above.

Thanks, I didn’t get that your “I’ve patched local files” meant “I used his fix” :wink:
