Is there any issues using these two libraries together that would cause it to not connect to the network?
I have two other arduinos with all the same code for the network/mqtt working fine, but this one keeps refusing to connect.
I've tried changing to to the newer ethernetenc library, but that doesn't work either. The only thing I can think of at the moment is possibly due to the memory usage, as the code does take up a lot more memory than the others that are working.
what enc28j60 module do you use? are the working arduinos same with same enc28j69 modules?
Yes, they're all the same - these ones https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07V3F5S2M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
And these are the RFID cards - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074S9FZC5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've double (and triple) checked the connections, and all parts of the code for the networking have been copied from the working ones, just with the mac and ip addresses changed.
They're sharing the SI, SO and Sck pins, but that should be fine shouldn't it?
This one just doesn't seem to want to connect - it doesn't appear in the client list on the router and shows an rc=-2 error in the serial monitor.
is the mac address unique?
Yes. They didn't come with mac addresses, so I made them up changing just the last digit for each one.
so do the troubleshooting. do the modules work separately with their basic examples?
The modules work themselves, yes. I haven't tried them with example codes, but I have switched them between other units/codes that are working. It must be something in the coding/setup between the ethernet and MFRC522.
