Hi, I’m having a problem with this device and was wondering if anyone can steer me towards a possible fix. Overall it’s quite handy, but, here’s the issue… I can read files from the SD card no problem, but writing files appears not to work. I suspect you’re going to tell me about the SEN and /SCS pins on the Wiz5100, and I suspect that’s the main problem. But, without trying to go in and solder to this pin on the 5100 chip, is there a way to allow writing to the SD card after the ethernet services have been started? Thanks…

Hi Joao. I advice you to read on this nice tutorial from Ladyada and to open a thread on the Forum. The blog is not the best place to ask about this kind of things. Thanks anyway for commenting Davide

Greetings,
I’m using this eth shield, but not using the SD feature..not yet at least. And I’m having some problems with her freezing after some 10 minutes or less updating a webserver. If I remove the SD card from the slot it works flawless, is it normal this sort of behaviour ? Thanks for the help.

I read before the launch that the new ethernet shield would also support
— POE
— TFTP remote program loading
Looking through the datasheet/info I cannot see any reference to these new features. Are they included ?

When will this shield be available for sale? Is it already?

using the ISP connector for access to the SPI port is clever, but it’s a bad idea, requiring that that port never move…

I too am looking to see the schematic for the new model board, any thoughts on if/when they might appear?

The microSD card on this updated hardware works, for example with the library linked to in the post. We’re in the process of cleaning it up and “Arduino-izing” it, but it will continue to work with the currently shipping shields.

THANK YOU GUYS!!! Thank you for taking the effort of making this for us geeks.

I was checking the Eagle files from the site but, it looks they belong to the old board and not this the Upgraded version.

Is it possible to have the new ones??’

Best regards from Chihuahua, Mexico
