The project I am currently working on invloves an Arduino Mega 2560 and a board from Nuelectronics thats uses a ECN28j60 chip. I bought the board because it said it was "MEGA 2560" compatable but seem to be having major difficulties trying to get it to funtion.
I have tried using SEVERAL different libraries and examples. They all seem to compile OK but I can never seem to get a ping response back no matter the IP I use or MAC address I assign.
I know I am using a valid IP but am not sure about the MAC. All of the example code I have used says to assign an unused MAC so I usually leave it to default because the one that comes with the code isn't used on my home network.
Doesn anyone know of some troubleshooting procedures I could use to verify this board even works? I do get power, tx lights, and rx lights, just no ping or response beyond that.
At this point I'm about to order another board as I have been trying to get this thing working for weeks with no luck.
Any help at all would be great.
