Arduino Mega R3, Ethernet Shield 2 and sdfat

Projects General Guidance

Hi all

I'm pretty new to Arduino programming, so your patience is appreciated. I'm about to start working on a project using a previously acquired Mega 2560 R3 and a previously acquired Ethernet Shield 2.

The sketch I'm going to be working/modifying from calls the SPI library and the SdFat library.

The project needs network access and the ability to read BMP files from the SD card. The first few lines of code:

...
#include <SPI.h>
#include <SdFat.h>

#define USE_SERIAL


// Hardware pin definitions
#define SHUTDNpin 2
#define DCpin 9
#define RESETpin 8
...

Before I get started, I want to make sure this is all going to be compatible, or if some modifications will be necessary. I believe the original code was written for an Adafruit SD Card Reader, which according to their wiring schematic uses pin 10 on the board, so I know that will need to be accounted for when I get started.

Thank you!

Does this help:

Thank you! If I include the ethernet2 library, do I still need to include SdFat as well for access to the SD card?

4

I believe so.

Thank you! I'll be testing this once the rest of my parts arrive.
