MicroMod Ethernet Function Board - W5500 Hookup Guide

Contributors: El Duderino

Arduino Example

Now that our MicroMod system is fully assembled, we'll use a slightly modified version of the "Ethernet - Web Client" example included with Arduino to make sure everything is connected and working properly. This modified version simply updates the options for the SPI Chip Select pin to match those used on supported MicroMod Processor Boards:

language:c
void setup() {
  //Ethernet.init(CS); //SAMD51
  Ethernet.init(10); //Teensy
  //Ethernet.init(5); //ESP32
  //Ethernet.init(A4); //STM32    

Open the Arduino IDE and either copy the code below or navigate to the example by going to File > Examples > Ethernet > Web Client. Reminder, if you open the default example in Arduino, make sure to set the correct Chip Select pin for the Processor Board used as listed above. Upload the code and open the serial monitor with the baud set to 115200 and you should see the example initialize the W5500 and ping Google.com.

// Enter a MAC address for your controller below.
// Newer Ethernet shields have a MAC address printed on a sticker on the shield
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };

// if you don't want to use DNS (and reduce your sketch size)
// use the numeric IP instead of the name for the server:
//IPAddress server(74,125,232,128);  // numeric IP for Google (no DNS)
char server[] = "www.google.com";    // name address for Google (using DNS)

// Set the static IP address to use if the DHCP fails to assign
