Help coding arduino ethernet shield

Projects Programming

Hey everyone,
I am looking for help programing this ethernet shield: http://www.nuelectronics.com/estore/?p=12 . Basically what I would like to do is have a computer on the same network as the arduino running a client program the allows me in control the arduino motor shield. I would just use a webserver but I want to use 2 joysticks or a gamepad to control the motors. Can someone please help me, I new to this type of programing.

Thanks,

So you want someone to write it for you, or are you stuck on a particular aspect of using it? What have you got working now? Show us some code with a problem and we might be able to help. Open-ended posts without a clear problem definition rarely get answered...

Im not looking for someone to write the code for me but just give me some pointers. Maybe point me to some tutorials. I've tried googling it but I've come up with nothing.

Well, there are examples and an Arduino library right there on that link you give in your first post, in section #2 "Software structure". You can also try out a slightly different variant http://blog.thiseldo.co.uk/?p=329

This shield uses the ENC28J60, and these two are the best that I could find out there. I have a similar module that I plan to bring up in the next week, and those two seem like they're the state of the art, such as it is.

Did you try those examples?

Since I ask this question I have learned slightly more. First thing I have discovered it you can control leds with udp string. I have also learned that in visual C++ you can create sockets to connect to specific devices over a network. Does anyone know of a way to write a simple C++ program that will send udp strings to the arduino to turn motors on and off? If anyone thinks I have no clue what I am doing its just because I am a teen and I am hopping to use this project to help me learn. I know a fair amount about electrical related things, I'm just new to the whole micro controller thing.

Really Hope Someone can help,
