This is my first post here, I have had my RA up and running for about a week now, but have been reading on here for a while before I purchased.
I decided to forgo the wifi attachment when I bought my RA for 3 reasons, wifi strength where the tank is located is flakey, I already had a couple spare uno's lying round and the extra cost would've thrown my total over the customs tax threshold (NZ).
I have a switch 3m from the tank next to the computer so Ethernet seemed like the perfect choice.... perhaps not.
Ethernet seems to work for the most part, I can use the portal from home or away (Static Wan IP), likewise with the android app. Problem is I seem to get alot of errors using the portal, android app or xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2000/wifi. Sometimes loads fast, other times incredibly slow.
Also, my web chart and relay activity have never shown anything, they always remain blank.
Below is the Ethernet Code I'm using on my Uno:
Code: Select all
/*
Web Server
A simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins.
using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.
Circuit:
* Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
* Analog inputs attached to pins A0 through A5 (optional)
