Ethernet Shield W5500 doesn't begin server

Hello.

I buy a Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 with Ethernet Controller W5500.

I run the webserver example of the IDE and the program doesn't start the server. Stops in line "server.begin();".

I tried with Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega and with another Ethernet Shield 2 and it happens the same.

Example Code from IDE

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

// 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, 1, 177);

// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// with the IP address and port you want to use
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(80);

void setup() {
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(115200);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
  }

  Serial.println("I'm here!!!!");
  // start the Ethernet connection and the server:
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  Serial.println("And here!!!!");
  server.begin();
  
  Serial.println("Did I made the server.begin?");
  
  
  Serial.print("server is at ");
  Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}


void loop() {
//...
}

Print screen of the serial monitor:

Anyone have a good reason for it? The W5500 chip works different compared with W5100? I have a Ethernet shield with the W5100 and it works perfectly.

The board:

Btw... The SD CARD runs correctly with the IDE examples:

You must download and import the Seeed Studios library for the w5200/w5500.

Then change the include to

#include <EthernetV2_0.h>

Wiznet has a library for the w5500 also, but I have not checked it yet.

Thanks you.

I import the library and now It began the server. But the ip is not what I setup. The ip the program shows is 0.0.0.0 .

I have to change anything in EthernetV2_0.h file to match with my chip (W5500)?

4

If it shows 0.0.0.0 as the IP, then something is wrong with the SPI bus or the w5500.

All reports I see show the w5500 will run with that library.

5

I have here two Ethernet shields (with W5500) and the ip they assume is the same: 0.0.0.0

I tried run the program on two different Arduinos (Uno and Mega) with the shields attached and the result is the same.

I supposed is not the SPI because I have here a Ethernet Shield with W5100 and it works.

But is a huge coincidence the two ethernet shields I bought have the w5500 broken.

6

Then try the Wiznet library. I think you must make a change for the w5500 in that library.

7

I try to use the wiznet library. The library selects the W5500 by default.

//#define W5100_ETHERNET_SHIELD // Arduino Ethenret Shield and Compatibles ...
//#define W5200_ETHERNET_SHIELD // WIZ820io, W5200 Ethernet Shield 
#define W5500_ETHERNET_SHIELD   // WIZ550io, ioShield series of WIZnet

But with this library the "server.begin();" don't run. I put a serial.print before and after this line to have sure.

It is the same think happened before.

Edit:

I tried this version too: GitHub - embeddist/WIZ_Ethernet_Library-IDE1.6.x: support to Arduino Ethernet Shield (W5100/W5200/W5500) and WIZ550io on Arduino IDE 1.6.4
Because my IDE is 1.6.4 but nothing change, can't run the server.begin with the wiznet library

Until you get an IP. Nothing will work.

Post a link to the Ethernet shield you are using.

9

This is the shield I bought.

10

The shield looks ok by design. I don't know about construction though.

Until you can get the shield to get an IP, nothing else will work.

Do you have a SD card in the shield's slot? If so, remove it for a test and try it again.

11

I test it with and without SD card. :frowning:

I thought the shield is official by Arduino. It came in this box:

12

AFAIK, Arduino does not make an ethernet shield with a w5500.

edit: Note the website address on the box is Arduino.org, not Arduino.cc. I don't think they are the same company.

13

:o

I think it was the same because are both from Italy.

I hope I can put the shield to work but it's being difficult.

14

Only thing I can recommend is check the w5500 for solder bridges.

15

Yes, finally It's working.

I use the IDE downloaded from arduino.org (Arduino 1.7.4) and the board now run the server.begin() function and shows the correct IP.

They use a different library. This is what says in comments.

Thanks for all your help SurferTim :wink:

Hi BlOw,

I have the same problem overhere with a Shield also bought by RS comp and already took me some time to get a chatserver working, but with no result.
I'm new to programming.
You mention Arduino IDE 1.7.4
The latest I see is 1.6.5 so is 1.7.4 a typo
Could you please confirm and give me link what library and IDE you are using and what I should change in the src or include files.
thanks in advance.

17

No typo. Wrong site.
www.arduino.org

Hi,

I'm confused. What is the difference between the Arduino.cc and the Arduino.org?

19

Different companies. I don't know the reason.

SurferTim:
Different companies. I don't know the reason.

I think one of the original arduino team used a legal maneuver to hijack the arduino trade name from the other team members.
