Does the Spinneret need a sd card installed to operate?

Trick

Just received my spinneret and have been trying to emulate the demo on you tube. I have power and lights but nothing shows in the serial terminal when I hook it up. I don't have a SD card in it yet. I'm new to all this so go easy. I am running a D-link wireless router with Ethernet to the spinneret.

No, the SD card is only required if you are using code that utilizes it.

Thanks
I have now run Brilldea W5100 TCP Client Echo Demo indirect Ver. 00.1 after changing the code to reflect my IP, MAC and ports settings I had reserved against theDHCP Reservations List on my router. the serial terminal now shows as waiting for server. Now I just have to work out how to run the UDP test tool against it.

I attached a simple UPD console application for use with the Brilldea W5100 TCP Client Echo Demo indirect Ver. 00.1. It's in .NET so you'll need at least the 3.5 framework. It's pretty easy to use, just unzip and run. There's no input validation so be careful.

1) Enter the IP (ex.192.168.1.100) address of your Spinneret
2) Enter the port number (ex. 5000)
3) Enter a message to send
4) The message is echoed displayed in the console.

Thanks Mike I will give it a go.
