Need help starting with Iduino Yun Shield

[oak_arduino]

Hi,

I've been 2 weeks trying to start with my Iduino Yun Shield, but I can't. I would appreciate any kind of help. I don't know if the problem is on my hardware, my router, my software or my understanding of the logic of Iduino/Bridge.
I just want to call to a URL (rest service) to receive a plain text. If I get run the example HttpClient on Bridge it would be perfect, but I can't.

I followed this guide:
http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/ ... Yun_Shield

I have the Iduino connected to an original Arduino UNO (also tried with Sparkfun UNO Redboard and a chinese Mega2560). I guess Iduino always need to be connected to an arduino board, right?

The first problem I found setting up the Iduino is that I can connect it to my router's WiFi and it gets a correct IP, but I can not connect it via Ethernet cable. I plug it, but the router does not detect it or give it an IP.
Is it possible to connect Iduino via ethernet to a router or that port it's just a connector to attach other devices/sensors to the Iduino?

The next problem I found was on adding the new board. I added the lines to C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\board.txt
but I can not see the Iduino board on Arduino IDE -> Tools -> Board
Even if I delete "board.txt", I get a warning message on IDE console, but it shows the same list of boards.
Even if I modify one of the existing boards names in "board.txt", IDE shows always the same names.
Also, I tried to downgrade the boards library to lowest (1.6.2) but nothing happens when I modify board.txt to add Iduino lines

But I didn't stop there. I tried to choose "Arudino Yun" as my board, and the Iduino Port. Whit that configuration I can upload the HttpClient example without errors, but it doesn't run. I get these messages on the Monitor Console:

Unable to connect: retrying (1)...
Unable to connect: retrying (2)...
Unable to connect: retrying (3)...
Unable to connect: retrying (4)...
Unable to connect: is the sketch using the bridge?

I don't know what else can I do. I'm going crazy trying to get just a plain text from an URL.

Sorry for the long post.
Thanks!

Hi,
In this step did you reboot your Arduino IDE as the manual tells?
And in this step have you missed something?

Can you attach more pictures about it?Thx

Thank you for the quick response! I will try to configure as you said, but:
Do I need to put Leonardo even if I have an Arduino UNO attached to the Iduino?
I will try it and send pictures.

About the boards: Yes I close and restart IDE, but nothing changed in Tools -> Board.
I tried in 2 computers, and none of them take effect when I add or modify the boards.txt
Even if I delete the boards.txt file, I get an error in console lines when enter in "boards manager ..." but still showing all the same cards.

Find attached the boards.txt (original) and the modified one.

thank you

No,you should select the board what you attached to your Iduino board.

Great information, thank you!

After you are done setting up your Iduino Yun Shield, can you help me with other things? We inform you that we can get more Disney games here but we don't see them in this forum. Based on your account, you are a old member of this forum so I am pretty sure that you already explored most of the page here. I am hoping you will me for this matter. Thank you so much, I will be back tomorrow.
