Thanks!

Installed GHI software and USB drivers installed just fine on my Win7 box.

Yea… I mentioned that from the last RC as well.

Is there a list of changes from the last RC to the release?

Still no love from Win8 for me.

And manual driver update is not working (for both WinUSB and NETMF_Interface folders).

@ mhectorgato - We will keep looking. So far all our windows 8 machines work fine, in expect for the boot loader. Hope fully a windows update will take care of this soon!

Speaking of that, do you have the latest updates? I am sure you do but just double check.

OK. I’m up to date with my updates.

Unfortunately, even with this last SDK version, I always have the IPAddress 0.0.0.0 problem with WiFi_RS21 module.

I have updated the firmware of my FEZ Spider, and created a new project. Here is my code:

void ProgramStarted()
{
	if (!wifi_RS21.Interface.IsOpen)
		wifi_RS21.Interface.Open();

	if (!wifi_RS21.Interface.NetworkInterface.IsDhcpEnabled)
		wifi_RS21.Interface.NetworkInterface.EnableDhcp();

	NetworkInterfaceExtension.AssignNetworkingStackTo(wifi_RS21.Interface);

	wifi_RS21.Interface.WirelessConnectivityChanged += new WiFiRS9110.WirelessConnectivityChangedEventHandler(Interface_WirelessConnectivityChanged);
	wifi_RS21.Interface.NetworkAddressChanged += new NetworkInterfaceExtension.NetworkAddressChangedEventHandler(Interface_NetworkAddressChanged);

	WiFiNetworkInfo[] ScanResp = wifi_RS21.Interface.Scan("MY_NETWORK_SSID");
	if (ScanResp != null && ScanResp.Length > 0)
		wifi_RS21.Interface.Join(ScanResp[0], "MY_NETWORK_PASSWORD");
}

void Interface_WirelessConnectivityChanged(object sender, WiFiRS9110.WirelessConnectivityEventArgs e)
{
	Debug.Print("WirelessConnectivityChanged event!");
	Debug.Print("Connected: " + e.IsConnected);
	Debug.Print("IP Address : " + wifi_RS21.Interface.NetworkInterface.IPAddress);
}

void Interface_NetworkAddressChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	Debug.Print("NetworkAddressChanged event!");
	Debug.Print("IP Address : " + wifi_RS21.Interface.NetworkInterface.IPAddress);
}

The output is:

Using mainboard GHI Electronics FEZSpider version 1.0
RS9110 firmware version Number is 4.4.5
RS9110 driver version Number is 4.4.5
WirelessConnectivityChanged event!
Connected: True
IP Address : 0.0.0.0

Is there any change to solve this annoying problem?

I’m not able to drag & drop ENC28 module on designer with Cerberus. It says “- A required Library could not be found”. Is the Ethernet ENC28 compatible with Cerberus?

11

@ jango_jas - Yes it works with the cerb family - what is the missing library?

12

This is normal. Please see this http://wiki.tinyclr.com/index.php?title=Ethernet_ENC28_Module

In-Field update in next release! Sweet!

I just updated the Spider, Hydra and Cerb and all went as smooth as butter. Thank you GHI!

@ Gus, I know you guys have just released this, so no pressure just so you know someone is interested, I am looking forward to the code drop on codeplex of the latest updates to the firmware for the Hydra. My J-Link will be arriving on Monday/Tuesday so I am keen to play a bit.

I’m a bit late in the game, but Just updated my Spider to 4.2 and updated everything in VS. Converted my project from C# to VB and with the help of a recompiled Glide, it seems mostly back up and running :slight_smile:

Great. Now to making some cool games :slight_smile:
