Arduino Ethernet Shield Documentation

Hi,

I'm already a NuElectronics Ethernet Shield Users.
And I have also purchase an Arduino Ethernet Shield in hoping that Arduino code needed will be smaller.

I compiled both NuElectronics and Arduino Client examples (quite the same examples) and I'm veru surprising that Arduino example were bigger:

Arduino example : 8788 bytes
NuElectronics examples : 6106 bytes

How do explain that ? I thought that more TCP/IP stuff were taken by Arduino Ethernet Shield whereas with NuElectronics this is to Arduino to do the job.

Is there an hardware documentation ?

Thanks a lot :wink:

I'm sorry to insist but could it be possible to have a detailed hardware description (schematics, PINOUT, etc ...)?

Regards

Note : Arduino Ethernet Shield is described here

PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!! :cry:

Have you read this thread?

It points to this:

I havnt got mine yet, its in the post.
As to the size of the sketches, it may be that the include just includes too much. Maybe the libraries can be cut down to just what you need.

Does including the library, if you are writing a client script, also include all the server stuff too?
I havnt looked at the library code yet?

Thank you very much. I haven't seen this page....

concerning size of sketches, it seems that there is not much difference between a client only sketch and a client/server sketch.

I've looked into librairies, clients and server sources call both clients an server .h

It seems weird that server functions not used into client skecthes are still compiled and keeped into binairies....
