Hi,
I have a few arduino megas here that i updated the bootloaders on. after doing so i ran some sketches that utilize the ethernet library and the whole system seems to lock up after 30-40 seconds of operation requiring a manual reset.
originally i updated it so as to support the watch dog timer. but even running scrips that were written and tested with the previous bootloader it always seems to fail.
this only happens when its connected to ethernet and has actually made some connections.
sitting on my desk with no ethernet connection it will seem to loop endlessly no prob, once it can make connection though things get hairy and the system typically locks up within seconds.
again this sketch was tested with a number of other mega2560s (running the factory bootloader) and to this day have been running without a hitch. so i am suspecting the new bootloader as the culprit.
has anyone else ran into similar issues or know of a way to resolve it?
I updated to the bootloader in IDE 1.0.5 and cant find reference to a bootloader version number anywhere?
i would like to use stk500v2/stk500boot_v2_mega2560.hex (but am not sure if this is the version ive already installed or not).
thanks for anyones help!
