W5500 Ethernet Shield v1.0

Introduction

The W5500 Ethernet Shield v1.0 can provide your projects with internet connectivity. W5500 enables users to have the Internet connectivity in their applications by using the single chip, in which TCP/IP stack, 10 / 100 Ethernet MAC and PHY embedded. The shield also has two Grove connectors and a microSD card socket to support projects which require storing large amounts of data from Grove sensor. The RJ45 port (where the Ethernet cable is connected to) is low enough to allow you to stack more shields on top of this one if needed.

Features

---

• Supports Hardwired TCP/IP Protocols : TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv4, ARP, IGMP, PPPoE

• Supports Auto Negotiation (Full and half duplex, 10 and 100* based )
• Not supports IP Fragmentation
• 3.3V operation with 5V I/O signal tolerance
• LED outputs (Full/Half duplex, Link, Speed, Active)
• Micro-SD card socket
• Grove connectors for I2C and UART

Compatibility

We have produced a lot of extension boards that can make your platform board more powerful, however not every extension board is compatible with all the platform boards, here we use a table to illustrate the compatibilities between extension boards and platform boards.

Software

• Please follow how to install an arduino library procedures to install library.

• Click on below button to download SD and W5500 Ethernet Shield libraries.

• Install the library to your Arduino IDE when it is downloaded.

• Copy below code into sketch and then upload:

//This sketch uses W5500 Ethernet Shield,Seeeduino V4.2,Grove-Temp&Humi,
//Base Shield V2 Sensor and Micro SD Card to design a temperature and humidity collection station.
//attach the temperature and humidity sensor to base shield D5 grove port.
//It publishes the temperature and humidity data to webpage
//and refresh every 5 seconds, store the data into SD card datalog.txt file.

Results

Now, we will show result.

1. Put your SD card into the computer,you will see some temperature and humidity information.
2. What’s more, we can see information from web.

Isn’t it very easy? You can begin your project.
