This is a normal W5100 chip based starter kit so i assume this is the exact same thing as arduino ethernet shield, just different board. Will look at the scheatics when i get home.
Oh, i didn’t see it before - Rhino ethernet is optional and achieved by pluging in the same module I’m asking about, jus different pinout version! GHI web site is missing FEZ Rhino schematics pdf link though…
Thanks Gus for the schematics. Can you give me any advice how to read the pin numbers ? For me every pin has at least 3 different numbers and i don’t know exactly which one should i be looking at.
I have read the documentation of W5100 chip and for SPI communication 4 pins need to be connected:
[ulist]
[li] SCS (Chip Select)[/li]
[li] SCLK (Clock)[/li]
[li] MOSI (Master Out Slave In)[/li]
[li] MISO (Master In Slave Out)[/li]
[/ulist]
I can see in Rhino schematics however that additional 2 pins are used:
[ulist]
[li] INT (Interrupt)[/li]
[li] RESET[/li]
[/ulist]
If we add 1 pin for VCC and 1 pin for GND, we end up with 8 wires… Can someone confirm this? Also W5100 datasheet says that SPI_EN should be connected to VCC in order to use SPI (I think this didn’t apply to WIZ811MJ used with Rhino board).
Grrr… I hate this 2,00 mm pitch. Everything we use at work has 2,54 mm pitch. I’ll have to make some adapter board in order to plug it into a prototype board… I had the same problem with XBee module. Is this some standard in US ?
I managed to make so-called “spider” out of wires and connect this module to Domino. The only wire that is left unconnected is the Interrupt pin. In Rhino schematics this pin is connected to SDA2 (USBizi pin 69). I don’t see however this pin extracted on domino board. Any suggestions ?
Initialization requires specifying RESET and CS pins. If Interrupt is not used than i have everything connected. When i run sample code from beginners guide i get this exception after calling Accept() on socket.
Yes that was it! At I know i can ping the module so far so good Goto go home for the weekend. It’s always nice to end your work knowing something finally started working. Have a nice weekend guys!
Wiz811 and Wiz812 are both 2.54mm pitch connectors, so if you ever have to buy a new module, don’t buy the 810 get one of the others Sorry, it doesn’t help your current spider get unravelled
I use my 812’s on some stripboard/veroboard and have female headers soldered in, ready to go - very simple to prototype (or more permanently) an ethernet connection
