How do you connect a WIZ812MJ Ethernet board to a Propeller?

deanwesterburg

I have been trying to get away from Arduino completely due to some of it's limitations. I feel I have a pretty good handle on everything but the Ethernet portion and it really has me stumped. I have been searching the forum and still not found an answer or tutorial that would help me. I found others in the same boat, so I hope someone can help us out!

I purchased a WIZ812MJ and found it has a lot of pins and it cant work on a Breadboard. I think I have figured out that it can be used with only 4 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCLK, and SS) and I need to set a Basepin in the code, but I cant find either the order of the pins or where to set the basepin!

Can anyone give us a tutorial or some direction? Obviously, there are other ways to connect this with more pins. Can anyone explain why you would want to use more than the 4 pin method?

Any help would be much appreciated. I've been digging for a while now and really need a nudge in the right direction!

Thanks,

Dean.

Try this updated SPI driver for the 5100 chip courtesy of MAG748. You need to read the datasheet for the module to get the correct voltage requirements etc.

This is the thread for the 5100 driver BTW

Thanks D.P!

I had not found that version of the driver yet! I found the pinout in the summery and have what I need to get started.

I did see the Spineretweb forum, however, I assumed it was specifically for the Spinneret board.

Thanks for you help!
