Hello friends,
I installed as above and run a simple program on the MEGA (which runs well on the UNO)
Code: [Select]
/*
  Web Server
 
 A simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins.
 using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.
 
 Circuit:
 * Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
 * Analog inputs attached to pins A0 through A5 (optional)

    Serial.println("client disonnected");
  }
}

I get a serial comm window with partially corrupted text:
"server is at 192.168.178.22
new client
G " followed by a number of control characters and then "client disconnected"
I have bended the pin 2 of the GSM shield and connected pin 2 to 10;
Can anybody see my mistake(s)? Thanks

AND sometimes I have also a wrong reading of the localIP (in comm. window: "server at 192.0.178.0" instead of the one started with in the begin() instruction). ???what could that be?

Forgot to mention both shields are Rev 3. I use the IDE 1.0.5.

And if I remove the top shield (GSM R3) then all OK. How can they work together?

Post a link to the GSM shield.

edit: Post to the other thread in Networking.
I guess AWOL wants you to use this thread.

How are you powering your arduino mega? I have mega 2560 r3 and Ethernet shield r3 with sd card. I powered it with 12V DC from and ac adapter. Just couldn't get it to work properly. Turned out 12 V is too much for the particular arduino's voltage regulator. The 5V output starts to crap out after the board heats up. Some regulators can take the heat but others are not.

Hello Patpin,

I have the same problems with a Mega 2560 and the GSM shield. It's really weird. I see also corrupted data at the serial output. On the Uno everything works fine.

I have used different RX pins like: 11, 12, 50, 51 etc. But no good result.
I have also used an external power regulated between 7 -12 Volt. But no good result. 

Do you know why you can use the interrupts written at http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SoftwareSerial

"Not all pins on the Mega and Mega 2560 support change interrupts, so only the following can be used for RX: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 50, 51, 52, 53, A8 (62), A9 (63), A10 (64), A11 (65), A12 (66), A13 (67), A14 (68), A15 (69)"

and not the hardware interupts written at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega2560
"External Interrupts: 2 (interrupt 0), 3 (interrupt 1), 18 (interrupt 5), 19 (interrupt 4), 20 (interrupt 3), and 21 (interrupt 2)"

I'm not really understand why I can use the change interrupts. What is special about these I/O?

I have also used the newest IDE 1.0.6. Then my sketch even don't compile a good code for the processor. With the new IDE 1.0.6. I become a lot of errors.

Could it be timingproblems?

Please who can help us with the same problem.

I can't imagine how using a different version of the IDE, and not being able to compile some mystery code, could be construed as timing problems.

I can't imagine, either, why, with 4 hardware serial ports, you need to use SoftwareSerial.

The only thing I can think of is support for inverted TTL logic on software serial that the hardware serial doesn't have. The poster didn't say that was needed though.
