I bought a new experimental DK electronics ethernet shield because it had a place to solder components on. I then bought a separate SD card. Later i realised that i would need to use the SD card with the Ethernet Shield but they conflict on 11, 12 and 13. Is there a way to connect them both at the same time?

No, i know how to use it but the ethernet shield and the SD card are separate.

bummer

I want to connect http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271104615881 with http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/280780639068

[Reply #5 on:]

Have you tried to get them to work separately?

edit: They are going to share three lines on the SPI bus.
Line    Uno    Mega
MOSI   D11    D51
MISO   D12    D50
SCK     D13    D52

Leonardo SPI is not on any digital pins. They are on the ICSP connector only.

Your ethernet shield appears to use the SPI lines on the ICSP connector if it has a 6 pin connector connecting to the ICSP pins on the Arduino.

I can get them to work separately. Idk how to wire it up though.

[Reply #7 on:]

If you got that far, you are almost there. What digital pin are you using for the slave select on the SD module? Digital 10 is the SS for the w5100.

[Reply #8 on:]

Im using 4 for the CS on the SD card. the ethernet shield uses 2, 10, 11, 12, 13.

[Reply #9 on:]

Are you sure zoomkat's code above did not work? Those are the correct pins.

The w5100 uses pins D2, D10, D11, D12, and D13.
The SD uses D4, D11, D12, and D13.

Looks good to me.

[Reply #10 on:]

Im just about to use ribbon cable to connect them my nano board for testing.

[Reply #11 on:]

Let me know how it does. If they work separately, and all works as normal, you should be ok with zoomkat's code above. 

[Reply #12 on:]

Its still not working. I re-checked my wiring and its all connected with nothing crossed.
With zoomkat's example, the SD card fails and then it prints "Ready" and then there is nothing more printed. With the ethernet webserver example, i get server is at 0.0.0.0
Is there a program i can use to log the digital pins?

[Reply #13 on:]

With the ethernet webserver example, i get server is at 0.0.0.0

Then you have a SPI fail between the Arduino and the w5100. I use this for my server code.

Ive realised it is not a w5100 based board. The library is here http://www.r3cube.com/Drivers-software/etherShield.zip
