Hi everyone,
This is my first post. I'd like to ask help on how to set up properly the Ethernet Shield W5100 R3 for use with the Arduino Mega 2560 and how to access the Arduino WebServer (displaying analog values) from my web browser (Mozilla Firefox).
I have an Arduino Mega 2560 with a Wiznet W5100-based R3 Ethernet Shield, I've bent the pins 11, 12 and 13 of the Ethernet Shield and put jumper wires to connect them to pins 50,51 and 52 of the MEGA. My OS is Ubuntu MATE 16.04 64-bit. I've set manually an IP address (to connect with eth0), a netmask, and a gateway address for my Arduino from the network settings, and for that purpose, I created a new Ethernet connection.
This is my sketch, a modified WebServer example in which I set the pins 4,10,50,51 and 52 as HIGH
/*
Web Server
A simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins.
using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.
Circuit:
* Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
* Analog inputs attached to pins A0 through A5 (optional)

// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
byte mac[] = {
0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
IPAddress ip(192,168,7,177);
IPAddress gateway(192,168,7 ,1);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// with the IP address and port you want to use
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(8080);
void setup() {
pinMode(ethershield0, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ethershield1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ethershield2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ethershield3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ethershield4, OUTPUT);
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}
// start the Ethernet connection and the server:
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, subnet);
server.begin();
Serial.print("server is at ");
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(ethershield0, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ethershield1, HIGH);

digitalWrite(ethershield3, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ethershield4, HIGH);
// listen for incoming clients
EthernetClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
Serial.println("new client");
// an http request ends with a blank line
boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
while (client.connected()) {
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.write(c);
// if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
// character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
// so you can send a reply
if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
// send a standard http response header
client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
client.println("Connection: close"); // the connection will be closed after completion of the response
client.println("Refresh: 5"); // refresh the page automatically every 5 sec
client.println();
client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
client.println("<html>");
// output the value of each analog input pin
for (int analogChannel = 0; analogChannel < 6; analogChannel++) {
int sensorReading = analogRead(analogChannel);
client.print("analog input ");
client.print(analogChannel);
client.print(" is ");
client.print(sensorReading);
client.println("
");
}
client.println("</html>");
break;
}
if (c == '\n') {
// you're starting a new line
currentLineIsBlank = true;
}
else if (c != '\r') {
// you've gotten a character on the current line
currentLineIsBlank = false;
}
}
}
// give the web browser time to receive the data
delay(1);
// close the connection:
client.stop();
Serial.println("client disonnected");
}
}
The result is that whatever IP and port I set, It displays the IP address in the serial monitor, but when I open it with my web browser, I always end up in the Apache2 server default page (which is not what I want). If I disconnect the RJ45 cable, the web page displays "Connection Failed", if I reconnect, I end up into the Apache2 server default page again. I even switched between straight and crossover RJ45 cables, but it's always the same. Besides, Is a router necessary? But if possible, I want to connect directly my Arduino via Ethernet to my PC.
Any help appreciated, thanks
