Hello Experts,
i need support, i am working on project which will perform the below,
- Control the light using LDR sensor with the help of relays to connect to high voltage
- Control Pump motor On and Off State
- the Arduino is connected to router using ethernet shield with web page which enable controlling the previous mentioned cases
the Issue
the LDR is working without no issues, however the webpage some times is working and sometimes not , i do not know the actual reason for this...
it is working once i power it ON but after some time, it is not working and the ping is not working nor the webpage
i am using SD card as well for two images that is displayed on the webpage
this is my code on the arduino
