I started messing with Fritzing and its a little slow going. I figured I may as well ask if anyone has done a shield layout for this yet?

I got it to compile after following the directions and commenting out the stuff from a few post back. so know to build it.. If I use this at work where I have no control of the dhcp and what IP address I get is this going to be a problem using this sketch? If I don't know the ip's to put in config.h?

go to examples, Ethernet and open up dhcpaddressprinter and you can get the ip that's available at your company

was finally able to get it all compiled, biggest problem I had is I was unable to edit the libraries with the installation of Arduino's IDE. On a hunch I went ahead and downloaded the zipped version, I was able to edit them there. Just a friendly tip just in case anyone else runs into that problem.

Anyone having trouble SMTP from gmail? I'm using smtp.gmail.com, 587, tried user name with and without @gmail.com, both username and pass are base 64 encoded. What am I missing?

I haven't set up mail for me yet but have you set authentication ssl/tls on the account Google's SMTP server requires it.
SMTP port: 465 |

Google starts with SMTP enabled, I don't think you need to set SSL/TLS because it sounds like SSL is mandatory. I changed my port to 465 and that wasn't it. Looks like my NTP update isn't working either so I probably have the network settings jacked up somehow.

I loaded the sketch up and commented out the first few lines for heater sonar and such things just like a few post back said to do and it compiled perfect. I loaded it on to the mega no problems there.
I had only the lcd screen hooked up to the board and the Ethernet card (w5100) lcd was hooked up to 5v and ground on the arduino along with the scl and sda nothing showed on the screen just square blocks The Ethernet didn't work out as I wanted to. I have been trying to connect using the Ethernet at my work. I used the dhcpaddressprinter to get the ip addy I used that in the config file for the ip and for the router ip I used the company gateway ip nothing happened. I could ping it and get a hit so I know it was there I removed the internet cable and pinged again and returned nothing so I know it was there and at that address. the micro card is 4gig formatted Fat32 used SDformatter to do it. and the only file is index.htm.. I used card INFO from examples on the arduino to confirm that the sd card was working and it is. I also did all the updates to the files that are in the read me file before uploading the sketch.. |

Rott, square blocks sounds like you need to adjust the contrast.
Did you add :8000 after the IP address?

It's your lcd i2c? It it is you need to know the address and change in the code for the same one.

The backpack on the LCD has the same chip as the one Doughb0y recommend does the LCD have a separate chip I need to adjust?

rott, Jmerino is probably on it. I ordered two backpacks with the correct chip (PCF8574T). I'm using one set a2 on the board and in the config file the address is set at 0x20. The other one has nothing set on the board so it must default to a0 i guess. Obviously the a0 wont work without me changing the address now and I confirmed that.

Is "LOCAL_IP" in the config file the address I have my router assign for the controller? I can access the controller from the web but it cant update the NTP or send emails.

My PC's dont have any problem getting NTP time. I forwarded port 7777 and 123 to the Arduino anyway but it didn't have an affect.

ok now I see what you mean first time for using one of the back packs so can you tell me what one to use to go with this sketch A0 A1 A2 and all I do is just solder bridge the connection on the backpack?

Doughboy, a quick question.
Did you tie the pins from the ULN-2083A or did you make a PCB for it? If it's a PCB, can you post it? Thanks |
