The W5500 chip is a Hardwired TCP/IP embedded Ethernet controller that enables easier internet connection for embedded systems using SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)

Instructions

W5500_TCP_Server

Circuit Python Installation

• Download the .uf2 file the link.

  CircuitPython 6.2.0- adafruit-circuitpython-raspberry_pi_pico-en_US-6.2.0.uf2

• Push and hold the BOOTSEL button and plug your Pico into the USB port of your Raspberry Pi or other computer. Release the BOOTSEL button after your Pico is connected.

• It will mount as a Mass Storage Device called RPI-RP2.

• Drag and drop the CircuitPython 6.2.0 .uf2 file onto the RPi-RP2 volume. Your Pico will reboot. You are now running CircuitPython.

• Then, you can see “CIRCUITPY” drive on your system.

• Now, We’re ready to enjoy the code on python code.py with CircuitPython.

W5500 Ethernet Shield pin map

• Use SPI0 on Raspberry Pi Pico.

• Be aware of the direction and insert it carefully. If you look at the Ethernet shield, there is a mark indicating the shape of the USB. The USB direction of the Raspberry Pi Pico should be the same.

W5500 adafruit_wiznet5k python library

We need to prepare some libraries from the Adafruit learning page before ping test.

https://learn.adafruit.com/ethernet-for-circuitpython/circuitpython-setup

Make sure your board’s lib folder contains the following files and folders copied:

adafruit_wiznet5k
adafruit_bus_device
adafruit_requests.mpy

• Download adafruit-circuitpython-bundle-6.x-mpy-20210409.zip

• unzip and find adafruit_requests.mpy.

REPL, Open serial terminal for printf()

Now, let’s open the PuTTY terminal.
Under Connection type: choose the button next to Serial.
In the box under Serial line, enter the serial port you found that your board is using.
In the box under Speed, enter 115200.

Once settings are entered, you’re ready to connect to the serial console.

Click “Open” at the bottom of the window. A new window will open.

• Check the COM port in Device Manager

W5500 Ethernet connect

This is the code to set the IP of 192.168.1.100

I hope that the PC also has an environment that communicates with 192.168.1.xxx.
