Arduino Nano not getting the IP address with Mini ENC28J60 shield

Hi guys,

I am stuck in week for interfacing the Mini ENC28J60 with Arduino Nano, which I followed this link:

I used EtherCard library and UIPEthernet library but no luck in both!
and the Ethernet shield is flashes but there is no IP address getting from my router!

I tried to set Pin7 HIGH as some recommendation but still the problem doesn't solved

Any one can help me with it please, because I spend a weeks with ESP8266 and mini ENC28j60 but no luck and now in Arduino Nano not working as well. Any Idea please :slight_smile:

It's a strange issue!

When I connect to 3.3 v pin didn't get the IP, but when I shif the vcc pin to 5 volt in Arduino Nano then Start getting the IP address from My router but the ship is getting hot in ENC28j60?

How can I solve this issue?

the 3.3 V pin of Nano can't provide enough current. what enc28j60 module do you have? some have 5 V Vin and convert it to 3.3 V for enc28j60. (it is normal for the chip to get hot, but nothing should melt)

Yes finally I got the issue is the voltage not enough! When I measured it with Voltmeter I got 2.47 Volt in Nano 3.3 pin! and when I used external Volt source with 3.3 volt and shared the GND with Nano then works fine! thanks God it has been solved!

But how can I use the 3.3 Nano volt pin because in my project I don't want to use external source for 3.3 volt.

you can't.

buy a enc28j60 module which can be powered with 5 V.
for Nano the "Nano enc28j60 Ethernet shield" is the best option

Yes thank you man :slight_smile:
