Problems setting up the Ethernet module

[Lukas]

Hello,

we do not provide any Ethernet example sketches because with the latest BSP package it should be fully compatible with the standard Arduino Ethernet stuff. But, you have to select the Board properly!

Just to be sure that the chip select pin for the RTC is handled properly call

Controllino_RTC_init();

prior to the Ethernet library initialization.

Best regards,

Lukas

Hi there,

It works! Reading the documentation properly solves most problems.

Although it feels very confusing to call something called “RTC_Init” for initiating an Ethernet Chip… Maybe consider calling it “SPI_Init” or something similar? I was looking through the code and searched for something that has Ethernet in the name. I found the “SPI_Init” function but didn’t read it because I believed it was for the RTC only…

Anyway, thanks a lot!

Regards

Hi BAM,

thank you for your fast feedback! I am happy that it works now.

I see the point with the naming … it is because of some historical reasons 🙄

We also mention it in our FAQs as FAQ 7.

Good luck!
