You are my hero, I will try to apply this to my setup.
Would be good to use if statements in order to remain compatible with the main code maintained by ray.

If NTP works than I can continue to modify code for my purposes of heating controller.

I managed to get it working following your suggestions.
Only isue is that is still freezes once in day or 2.
I couldn’t figure out why and I made a workaround. A watchdog on Openwrt router.
As my Arduino is powered from TPlink 824nd with Openwrt on it I used it to powercycle arduino if it doesn’t reply to ping in 3 minutes in cron in openwrt

I have my setup switching on and off my heating and some lights.

Do anybody know how hard would it be to port 2.0.2 code to standard Arduono shield in this thread knowing that 2.0 is the base?

Dave, my release (which I’ve been calling sprinklers_pi) was originally built on a 2560 with the W5100 ethernet interface. You should be able to get it running. It’s essentially the exact same code as here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=244 except it doesn’t support the graphing logging stuff. Besides that however, you wouldn’t really know you were running the raspberry pi version or the version on the 2560. If you’re at all interested, (or anyone else is), I could polish that code up and ship it over…

can you enable logging with the microsd card?

i think Riszimm didnt put loging on mega version because of lack of resources- Ram
Let see what he will reply when he comes back to forum.

ok I got the RTC. works well. now I think i am seeing the same problem with the LCD shield. if its on I get LCD txt and messages. but network fails. if i remove it network works but NTP fails..

its the 5100 board so cant we use the original arduino libs?

do you have to mod the LCD to work? I have the Sainsmart lcd/keypad that uses A0 for the keys.

thoughts?

U have the same hardware and same problems.
I use keypad and lcd to disable NTP and setup ip and rest.
For normal usage I use just RTC and no display and keypad.
Than it works.
To me Rizmm code semas more promising although I am worried about ram issue if I add more libraries. And also I have never used VS before and at first look seams much more complicated then Arduino.

I looked at the Visual Micro site (http://www.visualmicro.com/) and apparently the Express Editions don’t work. Ugh. Only VS 2008-2013.

If only Arduino had made their stuff build with a normal makefile. OK, maybe I’ll spend a bit of time here trying to get this to compile with the Atmel Studio (which is free). In the mean time, if you happen to have one of the full versions of Visual Studio, have at it!

I have managed to have it compiled on VS 2010.
And web server works pretty well.
I have to check now for output and how to modify the code for my needs. It seams much harder to read then standard arduino. At least here NTP works ok.
Thank again Rszimm.

I have RTC and it is working but with some bags. I dont now if this is hardware problem.
RTC is connectet to I2c interface SLC SDA GND and +5v.
I would still prefer to get NTP working as it is more acurate and anyway it is allways connected to net., but dont have knowledge how to debug network.

[vladimird]

Thanks for yoyr help! Looking forward for Atmel studio version.

I just uploaded the latest build. You can get it here : http://stuff.intelligent-isi.com/sprinklers_pi/sprinklers_avr-1.0.0.tar.gz

It’s built with either the Visual Micro plugin for Visual Studio, or else the version 2012-05-23 Arduino.mk makefile on a linux platform (what a pain in the ass that thing is..)

When you start it up, it currently binds to IP address 192.168.10.20 and port 8080. You can change that via the web page, or you can edit the code to make it something that works on your network.

There’s a tftp server built in to upload the web pages to the SD card. There’s a little bash shell script called xfer that you can use to ease the upload. OR, simply use your desktop to copy the files in the web directory to a /web folder on the SD card.

Good luck!

I apologize that there’s not a whole lot of step-by-step here. If there’s interest I can go into more depth…

Hi Riszimm.I tought I could do it on my own but it seams i went the wrong waz bz downloading atmel studio 6.1 instead of Visal studio. Which version ov Visual studio I should use. Is express edition enaugh and which one?
Mybe I dont need step by step but at least some guidance.

Thanks Vladimir

I have it working partialy. it was blocking at boot but i found out that NTP ocption was blocking it. after disabling ntp it started to work. Stil have it sometimes blocke but removing lcd and keypad helps.

I cant mangae to get NPT clock work and now also have some problem with hardware rtc1307. When I disconect RTc module web server works. the best would be to make NTP work as anyway it is connectet to internet all the time.
Did anyone alse tried opensprikler on MEGA 2560 + LCD-Keypad + RTC DS1307?
Dave did you had NTP working or it was only RTC?

Hi again everyone

Looks like we’ve all had the same idea to run on whatever hardware was lying around – thanks for your postings

Have posted a new version above that seems to fix the stability issues( or get from here -> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nkhbt81kyvycyzy/LUWh8It6Ph)

For vladimird – can’t quite see what the issue was from the error messages so have zipped up a copy of the libraries I’ve been using that compile fine – maybe have another try and let me know how you go?

Cheers

Dave

I have removed libraries downlaoded from internet and used yours posted here. Now it compiles without errors.
Thanks!

Hi Rszimm,
Thanks, for uploading your code.
I havet used atmel studio till now.
I will try to download install and test your code on hardware.
Hope it is not to much complex comparing to arduino.
Will post here the experiance.

Could you post your code for Mega2560. I am doing some interval timers for Heating and home automation and this would help me learn from exampoles.

No worries – thanks Ray

After testing for a week or so it seems to hang at odd intervals every two to three days. Working hypothesis for whats causing the issue is either:
1) buffer overrun – I’d opened port 8080 to the internet so wondering if the input was being flooded occasionally? (i.e. port scanners, malware etc) – have closed it now to see if makes any difference
2) slow memory leak (sigh)

Will look at some diagnostics when I get a chance , however in the meantime a watchdog will do the trick to keep it running

In fairness – porting to the W5100 ethernet is just a bit of fun to reuse what I had…. wouldn’t be recommending to do it this way if you were staring from scratch (just order an opensprinkler! 😀 )

Cheers

Hi Dave I am very interested for using your code . I have the same hardware but have problem copmiling the code.

I get error in line 243 of EtherCard_W5100.cpp:

Do you know why it could be. I downloaded the librairies listed and iported to arduino 1.0.5 version.

Thanks for help.

[vladimird]

Thanks you very much for the fast answer. I will try to find it.
