Ethernet. shield or module.
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Its works, but I get the XML sax parser error with the android app. The app works, as in I can turn things on and off, but the info never refreshes. Portal works OK. I haven't managed to find a fix for the parse error yet.
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
I think Curt found something that is causing this issue.
He didn't have anyone to test the fix.
If you PM him, he may be able to coordinate with you to test his fix.

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
I'll shoot him a PM. I'm getting the sax error with the wifi module and the app which is why I was looking into this. If the fix might work for the wifi as well maybe I can help him test it.
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
I read an old thread where the consensus was that the packet size was too small and that's why the app didn't like it. I tried researching how to fix that but as I've been setting up the tank I didn't find a fix as I've been a bit distracted.
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
I spoke to Curt and it looks like he will have an updated version of the app available in a few weeks that will greatly help with the sax errors.
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Awesome Though Im interested in whether its the module or the app causing the issue?
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
From what Curt said it may have something to do with how the app reads the XML. I started to do a little research before speaking with Curt and from what I read so far it sounded like it might be malformed XML (CRLFs before the header) or possibly "bad" characters in the XML. I don't think that is the case here though.
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
i think the problem had to do specifically with my app. i was reading in the entire data into a string before processing it. i think the data coming in would get interpreted differently in the string form or run out of buffer space and error out the parser. i am not 100% certain though because it is a tricky bug to track down. i have switched the way i process and read the data and it now appears to have fixed the problem. it's kind of hard to get into lots of details while im using my ipad to reply.Piper wrote:From what Curt said it may have something to do with how the app reads the XML.

Ah, nice one. Have you got the apk I can try?

it will replace the existing version and can be upgraded without problems.

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Is this still regarded as the best way to go ethernet?
In my last house wifi was easy but in this house there is too much concrete and it seems my signal is too weak to give a reliable connection.
I've installed power line ethernet adapters on multiple computers here with excellent results and would like to do the same with my RA. I assume I don't need the power from ethernet version.
Anyone need a discount wifi module?

I'd be interested in a discount Wi-Fi module!

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Is it possible for someone to do up a bit of a tutorial for this? I'm keen to do it but still a bit confused...
Cheers

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
It's pretty simple.
Buy the board, load the code attached to the very first posts in this thread and connect to RA with the same cable you use for your wifi attachment.
If you don't have one, PM me. I can get you only the cable.

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Will this code still work with the newest libraries. I can't seem to get it to work.
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
This is independent of the libraries.
This code goes into the Ethernet board and not on RA.

It loads fine, but then I can't ping it.
If I use this test code it works. I can ping it, I can go to the ip address and see the server page the code hosts.

Program: eth_websrv_page
Description: Arduino web server that serves up a basic web
page. Does not use the SD card.
Hardware: Arduino Uno and official Arduino Ethernet
shield. Should work with other Arduinos and
compatible Ethernet shields.
Software: Developed using Arduino 1.0.3 software
Should be compatible with Arduino 1.0 +

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
added the "ip" to this line
// start the Ethernet connection and the server:
Ethernet.begin(mac,ip);
Now I can ping it. I can't get to the webpage that you normally see at the local ip.

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Looks like that did it.
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Hey guys... is this functional and stable. I came across a ethernet board and wanted to give his a shot... anyone still using this?
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Yeah, I just bought the ethernet board from the arduino store to replace my old one that got wet.......
Make sure you add ", ip" to the line that initiates the Mac.
It's working fine on the uapp and the Android app.
The portal is flakey. It connects but it drops after a few minutes and it displays the page as if I have every attachment including about 10 relays. Don't know why.

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
This board looks like it has been discontinued, are there any other suitable versions?
Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
The star controller has built in ethernet.

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Right, but I don't have a Star and with a baby on the way my aquarium budget is severely limited. My wifi module is also not reliable. I'm going to get a Star but have so much more to get going the Star is last on my list unless I can't get a better network connection going with my +.
I don't want a cloud module because I'd be throwing more money at a wireless solution when I'd much rather a wired solution. House is wired with cat 6.

Re: Ethernet. shield or module.
Someone in Austrailia has a few left. I ordered two... if anyone wants the 2nd one its $15 + shipping.
Edit: Got this working, so far so good! Much more responsive than the wifi module!
