Hello to everybody,
I just bought an ethernet shield without knowing the big difference between the ENC28J60 series and the WIZ...
The point is that, so far, I have not found an example easy enough for me to addapt to my project. I just would need to make a http request to a php script I've programmed, i.e. the arduino just has to work as a webclient, and receive a char string. That's all.
Could you please give me any hint or example that I could use?
Thank you.
http://jeelabs.net/projects/cafe/wiki/EtherCard
getStaticIP example should do the job.
Hi there,
Thanks for the info. I tried that library, and following the serial monitor, I can see it crashes almost on the very first line.
if (ether.begin(sizeof Ethernet::buffer, mymac) == 0)
Serial.println( "Failed to access Ethernet controller");
Serial.println("checkpoint charly"); --> my control line
It doesnt even show the control I added.
It maybe has to do with the fact that my card is not a EtherCard, but an Arduino Shield v1.1
Any solution? Thanks a lot in advance.

Post a link to the device you really have.
It's this one.
The cheapest I found actually. Arduino Ethernet v1.1
Had I known there are these differences, I would've bought the "official" one.
Thanks.
Post a link to the device you really have.
is not what you did. A picture snipped from an ebay ad is not the same as a link.
What numbers/names are on the chips on your board?
The chip on the centre: ENC28J60 /SS then a M logo and: 1030CG5
The small one on the right side: 74HG1080
And an "overview" pic:
I hope it's described well enough.

It does not appear that the library at the jeelabs site is for the ENC28J60 chip.
Maybe the best thing to do is look at the below search to see if you can find some working code that has been posted.

Ok, thanks... if I opened this thread it's coz I didn't find it by myself... i'll keep on it

This is what I was told...

Why do you say that? It very much is for the ENC28J60. I use it all the time on that chip.

I think you're right, but the board is also important... that library you recommended me is not gonna work on my board. Or i'm just not able to.
Hi ikaros, I don't know if you resolved the http request.
During the last week I read a lot about that (enc28j60 and wiznet5xxx).
I'm working with enc28j60 with thiseldo's library.
Check this link: http://blog.thiseldo.co.uk/?tag=enc28j60
the last version: http://blog.thiseldo.co.uk/?p=504
Also I could see a big different about software code when you are preparing a little and clear called request or setup a server. The wiznet library (standard in arduino) is better than enc28j60's libraries.
Anyway I was trying to do a little get request mixing with DHCP feature.
I'm posted the code:
(remember install the last version library)

Good luck with your project ! tell me more about that.
Hi ikaros!
I have exactly the same shield and it is working fine with EtherCard drivers from GitHub - njh/EtherCard: EtherCard is an IPv4 driver for the ENC28J60 chip, compatible with Arduino IDE
Just edit enc28j60.cpp, find code:
#define SELECT_BIT 0 // 0 = B0 = pin 8, 2 = B2 = pin 10 on ATmega328
and change it from 0 to 2
If you plan to use more devices on SPI interface, then this shield needs small rework (cut 2 traces, make 2 new and replace 74HC1080).
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem that ikaros posted on Oct 12, 2011. My shield is the same, and I am using it with a Duemilanove atmega328
I searched for the code mentioned by direk (SELECT_BIT), but in the actual version there is no #define
At the line 254 there is this line
static byte selectBit; // 0 = B0 = pin 8, 1 = B1 = pin 9, 2 = B2 = pin 10
Any suggestions ?
I solved the problem.
First, I found a version with the #define SELECT_BIT, but the skecthes does not compile.
Looking carefuly at the last version, I tried to set csPin = 10 at the begining of the inialize function, and it worked !
All the examples compile and run perfectly
