Tutorial: How to use Mini Ethernet Module ENC28J60

The ENC28J60 Ethernet module allows connecting Arduino and microcontroller devices to a LAN network. Ideal for beginners who want to start with web communication.

What you need

• Arduino or compatible microcontroller
• USB cable to power the Arduino
• Network connection

Steps

1. Connect the ENC28J60 module to the Arduino SPI expander using the correct pins (check the datasheet).
2. Power the module with 3.3V voltage.
3. Load the example sketch provided by the Ethernet or EtherCard library onto the Arduino.
4. Check the module’s IP settings in the local network.
5. Monitor the Serial output to confirm that the module connects correctly to the LAN.
6. Experiment with web communication, sending data to and from a web server.
7. Configure the module to accept TCP/IP connections.
8. Try creating a simple web page viewable in a browser.

Example code

// Includi la libreria Ethernet
#include <Ethernet.h>
// Definisci l'indirizzo MAC e IP del modulo
byte mac[] = {0x00, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDE, 0x02};
IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 177);
// Configura il modulo Ethernet

Mini project

Create a web application to remotely control an LED light bulb.
