ENC28 Ethernet for Hydra

Aaron,

when I start the Hydra without the ENC28 connected to Socket 3 it seems that the device is locked:
The USB is not detected as Gadgeteer module and I can’t ping it with MFDeploy.

Therefore I think that I flashed the Ethernet firmware as you could see in my first message.

Did you set the IP address to match the same network as your PC Ethernet connection?

Aaron:

Yes. The hydra ip address is 192.168.57.157.
I use the 192.168.57.xxx network.

Did you set it by software in C# or by MFDeploy?

What are you suing for power? Try to use a power pack or powered hub in case power is not enough.

Aaron:

Good news: Now I can ping the hydra.

    Pakete: Gesendet = 4, Empfangen = 4, Verloren = 0 (0% Verlust),
Ca. Zeitangaben in Millisek.:
    Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 2ms, Mittelwert = 1ms

I used both MFDeploy and software to set the IP address.

What have I changed meanwhile:
Once again I did the firmware update with one exception: When I flashed the TinyCLR ethernet firmware I had the ENC28 module connected to the Socket 3.

After flashing I got a lot of messages, which I didn’t see when I flashed without the ENC module connected:

I’ll continue tomorrow as it is almost 9 p.m. here.

BTW: Power is correct with the USB client module and external power supply.

Gus & Aaron: thanks for the support.
