you have to have 1 or 2 GB sd card for Ferduino with webcontrol that is where the IP address is and other data for graft is stored.

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!
Welcome Matteo!
The SD card is mandatorily otherwise you will have problem with ethernet.
The IP isn't stored on SD card.
The problem is related with conflict between SPI devices, when a device doesn't receive the information the data stay on BUS so, the information mixed and others SPI device doesn't work fine.
It happens especially with w5100 that get wrong IP or stops.

Hi Fernando,
I don't understand where I have to insert the sd card on ferduino board.
I have to buy a arduino ethernet shild too?

How can i link that with ferduino board?

Thanks

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

Not, put the SD card on TFT.

Best regards.

[Matteo Benvenuti]

Thanks Fernando,

So, i have to buy a LCD ( touch) and a tft shild ? Which kind of LCD and tft do i buy?

Do i need of LCD and tft shild for link ferduino with joyreef? Can i do that with out t house those things?


Thanks

[Fernando Garcia]

Please check this topic: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=39

The TFT shield is not needed.

The SD card is needed for dosing pumps and graphs, if you don't want buy a TFT you can not use this functions.

Otherwise buy a SD card module like this:

Hi fernando,
I have some problems with IP, the board somatimes find the right IP sometimes not.
(see the print screen serial monitor below)

screen shot serial monitor IDE

Code: Select all

-- RESET CARD --
Ip Server: 192.168.8.99
Free memory: 3868

Ip Server: 0.0.0.0
Free memory: 3868
-- RESET CARD --
Ip Server: 0.0.0.0
Free memory: 3868

when the IP is right, the board work and it is link with joyreef

sometimes the bord suddenly loses the Ip

finally, If i move the board there are three cases

1) the board find the right IP
2) the Board loses the IP
3) the board loses the connection with serial

Can you help me?

thanks

Hey guy!

You are doing a big confusion here.

Do you have the TFT or not?

[Matteo Benvenuti]

Sorry for confusion.

I haven't a tft.

My friend Samuele, Who know arduino code, bypassed the Request of sd card, but the board doesn't jeep the right ip

[Matteo Benvenuti]

Hi Fernando,
I bought the tft with sd card . The tft model is ITDB02-3.2WD. I use 1gb sd card.i upload on board utouch calibration code, but i can't calibrate the tft. The LCD monitor print the first page, but when i touch the screen it doesn't change the page. I don't understand Who it workshop in tris way. There are any problems with the code?

[Christopher Kindig]

I had to run calibration sketch many times and use a stylus for touch.

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers. Finally Ferduino works!

Now i have another problem:
At the first loop board run the right ip, but just at the second loop the ip is uncorrect. Sometime right io returns just for one loop.

Sometime when i move board, right ip returns


Thanks

Hi!

Are you using a SD card of 1 or GB?

The SD card is working fine? Have tested with examples?

Best regards.

[Matteo Benvenuti]

i use an 1 gb sd card

yes i have tested.

the serial monitor print this, i added print ip server in the loop code

Code: Select all

Ip Server: 192.168.0.25
Free memory: 3831
Ip Server: 0.0.0.0

Hi!

Put this lines on code again to make sure that the program can find the SD card.

Code: Select all

  while(!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, ChipSelect_SD)) // Inicia a comunicação com o cartão SD.
  {
    setFont(LARGE, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    myGLCD.print("PLEASE INSERT A SD CARD.", CENTER, 115);
    Serial.println(F("Please insert a SD CARD"));
  }


Try add a shunt on pad called J1 on bottom side of TFT. Like this:

Try change:

Code: Select all

 SPI_HALF_SPEED

To:

Code: Select all

SPI_FULL_SPEED

Or:

Code: Select all

SPI_QUARTER_SPEED

Try other SD card.
