Overview of W5500 Ethernet module
The W5500 Ethernet module offers two interfaces:
- RJ45 Ethernet interface: Connect to a router or switch using an Ethernet cable.
- SPI interface: Connect to an Arduino UNO R4 board using this interface. It includes 10 pins:
- NC pin: Leave this pin unconnected.
- INT pin: Leave this pin unconnected.
- RST pin: This is the reset pin. Connect it to the EN pin on the Arduino UNO R4.
- GND pin: Connect this pin to the GND pin on the Arduino UNO R4.
- 5V pin: Connect this pin to the 5V pin on the Arduino UNO R4.
- 3.3V pin: Leave this pin unconnected.
- MISO pin: Connect this pin to the SPI MISO pin on the Arduino UNO R4.
- MOSI pin: Connect this pin to the SPI MOSI pin on the Arduino UNO R4.
- SCS pin: Connect this pin to the SPI CS pin on the Arduino UNO R4.
- SCLK pin: Connect this pin to the SPI SCK pin on the Arduino UNO R4.
