Arduino MEGA 63 relay Web switch

Compose individual parts

✔ Main board + Ethernet shield + microSD card + Arduino MEGA

✔ How to deploy

The idea behind this multi multi switch is, that if you own a bigger station, you want to control everthing... From switching on Radios, PA, Antenna Switches, Webcams, ... All want you can switch by a relay, the webswitch is able to control!

But what if you have to press a button for 5s to turn on an amplifier... Or if you have to define a group of buttons, which belong together like switching your 80m coil from cw to midband or ssb?

This is the webswitch!

Here comes the config...

Before plug micro SD card, format at FAT16 and upload ascii file config.cfg with this content below. Remember: All settings of the SD card will overwrite the sketch data. IMPORTANT: The count of the comma separated values is always 16! Start counting by 0....15, not by 1... :P If you mess up the config by using the wrong positions, it will have a strange behaviour, so be careful...

[ajaxUrl=http://192.168.1.179]
    => this is the url, the webclient will call. It coun be in your local network (that its the same as you 
       deviceIp) or its a dynDNS url like dm5xx.dynden.org:8888 to call it via the internet.

[deviceIp=192.168.1.179]
    => your device's ip-adress. Choose a free one! Depending on your local network.

[gatewayIp=192.168.1.40]
    => If your network has a gateway (router) to reach the internet, please use the gateways ip here 

[title=DM5XX]
    => Give the web client page a meanful title. This will be shown in your browser...

[jsUrl=http://h.mmmedia-online.de/mega_webswitch.js]
    => This is the url to the javascript file you have to place on a webserver. Or.. You change this to be on your
       local machines filesystem - this can be also a path! If you have problems 
       see https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/wiki/How-to-run-things-locally. 
       So change this to file:///C:\your_directory\mega_webswitch.js. You need to modify the labels in the
       javascript file, so you need to customize the js file...

[cssUrl=http://h.mmmedia-online.de/mega_webswitch.css]
    => Same fun this the css, but no need to change something... Only if you want to...

[faviconUrl=http://h.mmmedia-online.de/favicon.ico]
    => Change this to get a different favicon - the little green alien head.. But it would be nice to leave it 
       untouched... 

[dotUrl=http://h.mmmedia-online.de/dot.png]
    => Url to the png image of the green blinking circle.. Everytime this circle is blinking, the button status is
       updated.

[jqueryUrl=http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js]
    => Dont change this. Its just the url to the jquery lib.

[strpinsBank0=54,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]

    => Here the pins are defined, which belon to a bank. Feel free to change it, but maybe its ok to leave it for
       the moment...

[stris5sPinBank0=0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0]
    => the 6th Button from bank 0 is a long-on-hold button. Look to strPinsBank0: Its pin 7 by the way... And so on
[stris5sPinBank1=0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0]

[stris5sPinBank3=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
    => here you define, which of the buttons is a "long"/"hold" button. 0 for no, 1 for yes...

[strisOffPinBank0=0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0]
[strisOffPinBank1=0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0]

[strisOffPinBank3=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
    => here you define, which of the buttons is a button who switches another button OFF. 0 for no, 1 for yes...

[strindexOfOffPinPairBank0=0,0,0,0,0,0,5,0,0,8,0,0,11,0,0,0]
[strindexOfOffPinPairBank1=0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,9,0,11,0,0,0]

[strindexOfOffPinPairBank3=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
    => But who belongs together? This is defined here... the 7th button from bank 0 switches the button off
       who is on postion 5 in this example... ATTENTION: The count starts with 0... not with 1!

[strpushDurationBank0=0,0,0,0,0,5,1,0,5,1,0,5,1,0,0,0]
[strpushDurationBank1=0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,5,1,1,1,0,0,0]
[strpushDurationBank2=0,0,5,1,1,1,5,1,1,1,0,0,5,1,5,1]
[strpushDurationBank3=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
    => Here you define, how long a button/relay remains active. After that period in s, the relay is switched off

❏ microSD plug to Ethernet shield and deployed to Arduino MEGA

❏ then connect to Main board

Configure jumper

• JP1 - short disable auto reset from USB (must be open at upload firmware)
• JP2 - short connect power between Arduino DC input and power on Relay board - WARNING to maximum voltage Arduino Mega

How to connect own relay

Large relay board flat cable

❏ Pressing two connector to flat cable - attention to the orientation, both ends must be in same orientation compared to red wire in cable.

Mounting to DIN rail

Configure firmware - The default entries. Some of them are overwritten by config.cfg - If you want to have more than 1 webswitch active, change the mac adress. But since you are using a sd card, nothing to change in the sketch itself :P

• Network in section

  byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };

var togglebank0 = [1,2,3,4,6,7,9,10,12,13];

var togglebank1 = [];

var togglebank2 = [];

var togglebank3 = [];

This are the labels for each button per bank. togglebank0 is a multi dymensional array. You can define as many groups as you want. In the example, position 1,2,3,4 are grouped together, so only one of this group can be on. while clicking another button of this group the other one is switched off. REMEMBER: Start counting by 0, not by 1! :P Because there is just 63, not 64, the last one of bank3 is not used...
