Arduino WebServer controlled LED

I wanted to investigate controlling the digital outputs on a Arduino from a webpage so I decided to build a simple setup to Turn a LED on and off from a webpage. For this project I used the Arduino Uno R3 and Arduino Ethernet Shield.

Step 1: Configure Web Server

First off we need to configure the web server this is done by calling the Ethernet libraries, setting the Mac Address, IP Address and Server Port. then in the Void Setup you start the server and define the pin you want to plug the LED into.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
IPAddress ip(192,168,1, 177);

EthernetServer server(80);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
server.begin();
}
