Introduction: The Cheapest and Simplest Method to Control Arduino Through Ethernet

A video on how to control arduino through ethernet. Full two way communication both sending and reciving!

Shows the overview, wiring instructions, arduino sketch, testing as well as an extra part on creating an android app that communicates with the server on the ethernet module.

arduino sketch below, just copy and paste
// A simple web server that shows temperature and controlls an LED

  0x54, 0x55, 0x58, 0x10, 0x00, 0x24};   // this just needs to be unique for your network,
// so unless you have more than one of these boards
// connected, you should be fine with this value.

static uint8_t ip[4] = {
  192, 168, 1, 15};                       // the IP address for your board. Check your home hub
// to find an IP address not in use and pick that
// this or 10.0.0.15 are likely formats for an address
// that will work.
