Hello,

I recently bought me the Arduino Ethernet board and I've just started trying the examples. But there's a problem:
No matter what (Ethernet)sketch I upload to the Arduino, it always returns some strange text when I try to telnet to the Arduino.
This text contains sometimes the message I'd like to send, but mostly characters which look that what you see when you have an invalid Baud-Rate on a serial port.
For example:

Code:

2��j`�u�t@���}A#ٴ9aw��a�Fđ�

In this case, you can see what I wanted to send, it was some HTML.
The problem occurs with every sketch I've tryed, even with the examples of the Ethernet library.

Any idea where my problem is?

PS: Excuse my bad english, I'm from Germany

That could be the microSD card reader SPI interfering with your ethernet SPI.

Code:

void setup()
{
   pinMode(4,OUTPUT); // set SD SPI slave select pin to OUTPUT
   digitalWrite(4,HIGH); // disable SD SPI interface. HIGH is disabled.

   // now do your ethernet setup stuff.
}

[Reply #2 on:]

I tried your suggestion, it didn't work.
Here is the sketch I've tried:

Code:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

byte mac[] = { 0x90, 0xa2, 0xda, 0x00, 0x61, 0xf1 };
IPAddress ip(10,42,43, 2);

EthernetServer server(80);

void setup()
{
  pinMode(4,OUTPUT); // set SD SPI slave select pin to OUTPUT
  digitalWrite(4,HIGH); // disable SD SPI interface. HIGH is disabled.
  // start the Ethernet connection and the server:
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  server.begin();
}

void loop()
{
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    client.println("Hello World!");
    client.stop();
  }
}

Maybe it has to do something with my setup?
I've got a notebook with an UMTS internet stick. On this notebook, I share the UMTS connection to the Arduino, which is connected using a normal patch cable. This is supported by my network adapter (I've tried it with other computers).
The Arduino has the static IP-Address you can see in the sketch and it is powered through USB.

EDIT:
Maybe it's a problem with the memory? I've changed the string in client.println() and it outputs me the old string + the new string...

[Reply #3 on:]

Maybe you have too many strings in memory? Have you tried sending the bare minimum and see if this happens again?

[Reply #4 on:]

Have you tried sending the bare minimum and see if this happens again?

The same: The old string is displayed + the new string + the strange characters

[Reply #5 on:]

What kind of arduino is the main board ? Uno, Mega ?

[Reply #6 on:]

As I said:

I recently bought me the Arduino Ethernet board

It is this one here http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardEthernet
Another thing: I think those characters are not as random as they look. They're almost the same every time they are transmitted.

No matter what (Ethernet)sketch I upload to the Arduino, it always returns some strange text when I try to telnet to the Arduino.

You are trying to access the arduino http server using a telnet application?

[Reply #8 on:]

Yes.
It (should) work. Telnet only sends text over the network, if you run

Code:

telnet www.google.com 80

for example, you can "talk" HTTP to Google.
But even when I run the "ChatServer"-Example (which explicitly sais "To use telnet to  your device's IP address and type.") it doesn't work.

[Reply #9 on:]

When I try the the telnet, I get the below, much of which appears to be the binary conents of the "image/png;base64,".

Have you typed

Code:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.de
[empty line]

?
But I think this is not the problem! I've tried the SD library, and it doesn't work too. I have set the SS port for the Wiznet chip (10) to high, as you suggested for the SD card, but the lamps of the RJ45 connector were blinking. So I think there's a general problem with the SPI.

Sorry, but I do not understand what you are actually trying to do.

[Reply #12 on:]

OK, ignore this post. It was my fault.
EDIT:
Probably got a solution! See here http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=81846.0.
It's a bug in gcc.
Another edit:
Got it working now, using the solution prowided here: http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/detail?id=605&start=200
No the Ethernet part works, but not the SD...
I think I've set all the CS lines to the SD card an the W5100 correct, but the initialisation always fails. I've also tried using the card.init() function with a CS port specified, didn't work even. Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?
