Hi Pedja,

pcf8574 is a digital I/O expander, analogWrite work only for analog expander or PWM pin, so can’t work with pcf8574.

Hi Gilles,
I try to do a fix and i write here when ready.

Hi Cameron,
I understand what you want to do, but It’s discouraged because you lost some information (GTM for example), but here the code modified.
I advise you to use strftime that offer a lot of features here a list.

I update local time directly when the value is returned because if you call the functione more than one time you apply N time the DST and you lost control of the time.

		unsigned long epoch = tz.toLocal(timeClient.getEpochTime());
		setTime(epoch);

and use a strftime like so

	Serial.println(getEpochStringByParams(now(), "%H:%M:%S %d.%m.%Y It's a beautiful %A of %B"));

and the complete sketch
pay attention I add my timezone:

Hi Rainer,
It’s stragne, check again all the steps, then try to enable verbose debug

File->Preferences->Show verbose output during:. Tick boxes for compilation and upload.

And tell us the result.
Bye Renzo

[Renzo Mischianti]

Hi Jorn,
to manage pull up and pull down change in debounce, you must specify (like the Arduino pin) if the initial state is in pull up or pull down.

By default It’s pull down.

The library has an internal state that memorizes the value change, and though you don’t use an interrupt you can read the button change.

So initialization of your pin to work must be

unit->pinMode(3, INPUT_PULLUP);

Bye Renzo

[Renzo Mischianti]

Hi tpapas,

glad to have been helpful.

If you need more help write a topic.

Bye Renzo

[Renzo Mischianti]

Hi tpapas,

first, check the code I commend the static IP Ethernet initialization, so to restore It you must uncomment

// start the Ethernet connection and server
//	  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, myDns, gateway, subnet);

and comment the dhcp initialization

	  if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
	    Serial.println(F("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP"));
	    if (Ethernet.hardwareStatus() == EthernetNoHardware) {
	      Serial.println(F("Ethernet shield was not found.  Sorry, can't run without hardware. :("));
	    } else if (Ethernet.linkStatus() == LinkOFF) {
	      Serial.println(F("Ethernet cable is not connected."));
	    }
	    // no point in carrying on, so do nothing forevermore:
	    while (true) {
	      delay(1);
	    }

	  }

to change the debounce you must change this define

#define EMAIL_SEND_DEBOUNCE 5*60*1000

Try to change the variable like so (to activate immediately the email send)

unsigned long timeElapsed = millis()-EMAIL_SEND_DEBOUNCE;

and fix this

// Check if value > 30 and check if you already send this email
	if (sensors.getTempCByIndex(0) > 30 && emailSended == false){
		emailSended = true;
		// check if you had already send an email in the last 5 minutes
		if (timeElapsed+EMAIL_SEND_DEBOUNCE < millis()){
			timeElapsed = millis();
			sendEmail();
		}
	}else if (sensors.getTempCByIndex(0) < 30  && emailSended == true){
		// The value return ok and so if you are going over 30 again new notification was sended
		emailSended = false;
	}
 

Give me a feedback, bye Renzo

Hi Arthur,

thanks for suggestion, It’s very interesting.

I must find some time, but surely I add this section.

Thank Renzo

Hi tpapas,
try to add pin 10 HIGH (as documentation)

    pinMode(53, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
    pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(10, HIGH);

 

and add this code to check If there are some problem

  // Check for Ethernet hardware present
  if (Ethernet.hardwareStatus() == EthernetNoHardware) {
    Serial.println("Ethernet shield was not found.  Sorry, can't run without hardware. :(");
    while (true) {
      delay(1); // do nothing, no point running without Ethernet hardware
    }
  }

  if (Ethernet.linkStatus() == LinkOFF) {
    Serial.println("Ethernet cable is not connected.");
  }

I don’t have a w5100 shield, but this is a must have :P.

And check if shield is fitted good, sometime the problems is more simple than expected.

Bye Renzo

[Renzo Mischianti]

We are going quite off topic, so I create a topic in the relative section, and I need some time to check It. But I will response to you in that section.

Weather radio station with Arduino UNO/MEGA Ethernet problem

Bye Renzo

[Renzo Mischianti]

If the email work the ethernet work, the arduino clones, usually, work like a charm,

With this information It’s very difficult to do a debug.

You must give me more information, what kind of problem do you have?

Bye Renzo

 

[Renzo Mischianti]

Hehehehhe, I’m moved 😛

For the recipient you can follow the instruction on the article

Send email with attachments (v2.x library): Arduino Ethernet – 1

there is an example on library

Distribution list example

and the relative forum topic

EMail distribution list – more than one recipient

If you have some trouble write here.
