[SOLVED] Trying to verify RFM_MQTT_GW_24 but I get errors

[tjohansen]

now I have the gateway build and want to upload the gateway software to it.

Downloaded the RFM_MQTT_GW_24.ino

Downloaded the two libraries needed extras, RFM69 and SubPubClient.

In the RFM_MQTT_GW24.ino, changed:

MAC address
mqtt_server ip
ip


I read something about that I should change something in w5100.h, but have looked in it and cant figure out what to change.

so verified the RFM_MQTT_GW24.ino with no problems and uploaded it to the arduino uno (5v) with LLC's to 3,3v


Now, when I open the debug console no debug data or anything indicating it is working or trying to anything.
I have choosen the correct port and baudrate.

I also have plugged in the ethernet cable, and all the leds for that is lighting up. But Its not showing up  in my router's connection list.


Any idea why I cant see anything in debug?

and the two leds on D7 and D9 arent blinking.

[tjohansen]

now after some patience, writing its posts, I opened debug console again and now its showing some debug stuff.

Aparently It just needed some time :-)

Im not getting any IP connection, have I set it up correctly?

byte mac[] = { 0xAD , 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xBA, 0xBE }; // MAC address for ethernet
byte mqtt_server[] = { 192, 168, 0, 24}; // MQTT broker address (Mosquitto)
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 0 , 25 }; // Gateway address (if DHCP fails)



my lan is ofcource 192.168.0.x

[tjohansen]

changed

byte mac[] = { 0xAD , 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xBA, 0xBE }; // MAC address for ethernet

to


byte mac[] = { 0xDA , 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xBA, 0xBE }; // MAC address for ethernet


and now it got a dhcp ip


:-)

Now I must setup MQTT on my rpi.


 

[tjohansen]

about debugging

its shows:

GW Version GW V2.4

868 Mhz...
connecting
no link
no link


should any of my two leds on D7 and D9 blink now?


Bare in mind I have not set up the MQTT on the rpi yet.
Or made an end node to communicate with.

    tjohansen, you now need MQTT service running on some computer in your local network like the Pi.

Regarding "byte mqtt_server[] = { 192, 168, 0, 24}; // MQTT broker address (Mosquitto)" ...
                                                            ^^ make this the IP of the computer where MQTT will be running  (sounds like your Pi)

When you get the above accomplished, serial monitor should show MQTT connection & the MQTT LED should light steady.

When you have an end node communicating with the Gateway, the radio LED should blink & Serial Monitor should also show data flowing.

Regarding the changes to w5100.h, the RFM69 wireless network will work more reliably (& be less likely to drop connections) if you do that.

In my Success... thread, Oct 7, 2015 at 11:15am post, look for "Papa: find these lines in w5100.h" & follow two small changes noted there.

[tjohansen]

Thx very helpful, will look at the w5100.h, cant wait to look into it tonight.

I can feel, its now all the fun parts starting :-)

For installing Mosquitto (MQTT) on Raspberry Pi, did you see the Feb 6, 2016 at 6:40pm post in my thread, Raspberry Pi: How to Install OpenHAB-Mosquitto ?  In that thread are other posts about installing & configuring OpenHAB on the Pi.  That includes some basic configuration files to download.
