I'm working on a project to make an ROV and the ethernet shield I bought from China is not working fine.
It didn't have a mac address sticker printed on the shield.
I tried to upload this code
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
// Enter a MAC address for your controller below.
// Newer Ethernet shields have a MAC address printed on a sticker on the shield
byte mac[] = {
0x00, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDE, 0x02 };
// Initialize the Ethernet client library
// with the IP address and port of the server
// that you want to connect to (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetClient client;
void setup() {
// start the serial library:
Serial.begin(9600);
// start the Ethernet connection:
if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");
// no point in carrying on, so do nothing forevermore:
for(;;)
;
}
// print your local IP address:
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
void loop() {
}
to get the local IP but it says "Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP"
I also tried to upload some example in Arduino IDE but it didn't work too.
I have no idea what Mac address and IP should I use,
you can use in local network the MAC address from the examples until you have only one Arduino with it. try the examples of the the latest version of the Ethernet library (2.00). they have better diagnostics. did you connect the Ethernet cable to a router/switch or to a computer? the direct connection to a computer requires configuration of IP address on booth sides. it will not work with dhcp
I connect the Ethernet shield with a router and the USB with the PC.
I just tried using this code:
/*
DHCP-based IP printer
This sketch uses the DHCP extensions to the Ethernet library to
get an IP address via DHCP and print the address obtained.
using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.

In the serial monitor, it showed this.
Initialize Ethernet with DHCP:
