Hi Ozmo,
Well, first of all, where do i set the netmask in the config, i did not find anything.

IPAddress ip( IP_A, IP_B, IP_C, IP_D);	    //Give the device a unique IP
IPAddress gateway( IP_A, IP_B, IP_C, 254 );   //Gateway (your Router)
IPAddress subnet( 255, 255, 255, 0 );	            //typically dont need change

Hi,

I have just been reading through this thread - Ozmo, great job – I love it :)

I followed your description but I ended up burning the fuse on the panel a few times so maybe this a good time to ask for an advice. I have an Aritech CS351 panel, CD3008 keypad and are using a Mega+WiFi R3 ATmega2560+ESP8266. I have 1 months of experience with Arduino and Aritech so be kind 😉

What have I done:

• Build the “two transistor interface board - connects to 12v ABCD keypad socket” but something is not working out for me.
• Reworked the code from: CastleAritechArduinoRKP-master and CastleAritechArduinoESP32-master to fit my needs.
• I am able to send Json formatted data from ATmega2560 -> ESP8266 and upload it to an API enabled application in cloud.
• Managed to get below printed so I can’t be too far away from a solution:

Question 1)

I have looked at your diagram ‘CircuitAndPerformanceAnalysis.jpg’ and from what I can tell, the signals are negated.

E.g., when PnlTx goes high => ArdRx goes low – is that intentional and how/where is that handled?

E.g. ~(00001111) = (11110000)

If this is it: PORTB &= ~(_BV(0));  //cbi(PORTB, 0);

How is it handled sending data back?

Question 2)

I have a CS351 panel (not CS350). Do you know if the communication bus is the same?

Using a Voltmeter, I get readings like:

PnlTx: 6.90 - 7.22V

PnlRx: 0.09 - 1.23V (seems low). I have a feeling that this is the reason

I’m waiting for my oscilloscope to arrive to get exact readings.

Is there other things I can do to validate?

Question 3)

I have a ReadDatabus() function call in main loop to read incoming data (similar to your RKPClass::Poll(); in ESP project).

bool RemoteKeypad::ReadDatabus()

{

 …

  while (Serial1.available()) //yes - two...make sure we loop until all bytes gone

        while (Serial1.available())

        {

            byte rx = Serial1.read();

            //uart_read_bytes(uart_num, &rx, 1, 0);

            if (bReceivingPacketNow == false)

            {

…

Main reason for using this is that I struggle to understand the Interrupt version in CastleAritechArduinoRKP.

Do you know if above ESP32 approach can be used or would you recommend interrupt version from RPK project? Pros/cons?

Question 4)

What is triggering below function to be called in RPK projekt?

#if defined(UART1_RX_vect)

ISR(UART1_RX_vect)

#elif defined(USART1_RX_vect)

ISR(USART1_RX_vect)

#elif defined(USART_RX_vect)

ISR(USART_RX_vect) //UNO has no Serial1

#else

#error "No Serial Port?"

#endif

{

    static int msgbufLen = 0;

    static byte msgbuf[ixMaxPanel];

    static bool bReceivingPacketNow = false;

    static byte lastByte=-1;

    //Note - nothing here is to be blocking

    //- so sending emails must not block receiving serial logs

    byte rx = UDR;

    if (bReceivingPacketNow == false)

    {

        if(lastByte == 0)

        {//last char was a zero - this was the end of the last message

            if (rx==0)

                return; //CD34 sends 0 at s

Hi Ozmo,

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. With your great work I am getting close to a working solution :)

I get all messages from my CS351 panel and can show them on my web-keypad. I am storing all messages in a database which allows me to show latest movement etc.

However, I am struggling to make my keypad work alongside the original keypad (CD3008).

If I disconnect the CD3008 and connect my keypad with ID 1 (RKP_ID: 0) and everything works.

When I go to the 'Install Panel menu' and connect my keypad with ID 2, 3 or 4 the warning LED turn on and the CD3008 freezes (can't press any keys).

Is there a special order I should follow when installing my keypad?

This is what I do:

1. I connect my Arduino keypad to the comm. bus (excluding Tx port). I do this while power is on.
2. I navigate to the tech menu 'install panel' using CD3008. The display text is: Panels p***.
3. I connect the Tx from my Arduino.
4. The CD3008 panel text changes to: Panels pp**. Shortly after the CD3008 are turning on/off with a 'click' sound and the display text changes to: Panels *P**, the warning LED turns orange and the panel freezes. At this point in time I am unable to use any of the keypads. I can see that ACK messages are send from the Arduino to the panel (12 00 00 12).

s what the error is. sorry but it wont let me post links on the forum yet.
