Ethernet + SD support (software mod)

Projects Programming

I also read this at Ladyada.
First of all, use the newest Arduino 1.0.1, and use the examples provided with it.

And I initialize the SD card before I initialize the Ethernet W5100.
So this is my code:

// With the ethernet shield, the chip select for the
// SD card is not SS (in use for ethernet), but pin 4.
const int chipSelectSD = 4;

...

  // make sure that the default chip select pin is set to
  // output for the SD, even if you don't use it:
  pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
  
  // According to this:
  //   http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/ethfiles.html
  // The SS (pin 10) has to be high to disable the W5100
  digitalWrite(10, HIGH);

  // Initializing the SD before the ethernet W5100.
  if (!SD.begin(chipSelectSD)) 
  {
    // The SD card can't be found.
    Serial.println(F("SD.begin failed"));
  }

  Ethernet.begin ...
  server.begin ....

So I don't use the "card.init", but I use SD.open().
