Arduino Wiznet Ethernet W5100 Shield in Pakistan

Arduino Wiznet Ethernet W5100 Shield

We don’t sell many clone boards because some are of poor quality. However this Ethernet board is a top quality product which works just the same as the official board. It contains the same chipset and so all of the examples using the Ethernet library work just the same. This board offers a substantial discount on the official board.

Arduino Ethernet Shield With Wiznet W5100 Ethernet Chip
Supports TF card up to 16GB
Uses standard Arduino Ethernet drivers
The Arduino Wiznet Ethernet W5100 Shield allows an Arduino board to connect to the internet. It is based on the Wiznet W5100 ethernet chip providing a network (IP) stack capable of both TCP and UDP. The Arduino Ethernet Shield supports up to four simultaneous socket connections. Use the Ethernet library to write sketches which connect to the internet using the shield.

The on-board micro-SD card slot can be used to store files for serving over the network. It is compatible with the Arduino Uno and Mega (using the Ethernet library). You can access the on-board SD card slot using the SD library which is included in the current Arduino build.

Arduino communicates with both the W5100 and SD card using the SPI bus (through the ICSP header). This is on digital pins 11, 12, and 13 on the Uno and pins 50, 51, and 52 on the Mega. On both boards, pin 10 is used to select the W5100 and pin 4 for the SD card. These pins cannot be used for general i/o. On the Mega, the hardware SS pin, 53, is not used to select either the W5100 or the SD card, but it must be kept as an output or the SPI interface won’t work.

Note that because the W5100 and SD card share the SPI bus, only one can be active at a time. If you are using both peripherals in your program, this should be taken care of by the corresponding libraries. If you’re not using one of the peripherals in your program, however, you’ll need to explicitly deselect it. To do this with the SD card, set pin 4 as an output and write a high to it. For the W5100, set digital pin 10 as a high output.

The shield provides a standard RJ45 ethernet jack.
