Today we are working with the WIZnet 550 IO Module. It’s a very small and inexpensive ethernet module based on the WIZnet 5500 chip, similar to the 5100 on the official Arduino Shield. It’s completely compatible with the code written for the Arduino Ethernet Shield as well. This is a nice addition to a Arduino Nano or Home built Arduino compatible board that does not require the size and expense of a full shield, plus the 550 has some additional features like increased number of connections, faster performance, and a bigger buffer.
Let’s get the module connected, download the drivers, and get a sketch running!
First, the connections:

J1.1 – GND (only one needed, all GND connected on module)
J1.2 – GND
J1.3 – MOSI – 11
J1.4 – MISO – 12
J1.5 – SCK – 13
J1.6 – SS – 10
J1.7 – 3.3v
J1.8 – 3.3v
J2.1 – 3.3v – Arduino 3.3v (only one needed, all 3.3v are connected)
J2.2 – RDY – 7
J2.3 – RST – Arduino Reset
J2.4 – N/C
J2.5 – INT – 2
J2.6 – GND – Arduino Gnd
This module is 5V logic friendly, but requires 3.3v input.
Now download zip from https://github.com/Wiznet/WIZ_Ethernet_Library, extract, and copy the Ethernet folder to your Sketchbook libraries folder. Make sure you get the folder for the right version of your IDE. There are instructions for uncommenting the controller you are using. It defaults to the 5500, but if you go back to your 5100 based shield, you will have to edit the 5100.h file as described at GIThub.
Load the example Ethernet WebServer sketch, enter your IP address you want to assign and MAC address as shown on the module (you can use the default IP/MAC as listed in the directions at GIT Hub if appropriate), and you are off and running. Works just like the original Arduino Shield, but better, smaller, and cheaper.
/* Web Server A simple web server that shows the value of the analog input pins. using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield. Circuit: * Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13 * Analog inputs attached to pins A0 through A5 (optional) created 18 Dec 2009 by David A. Mellis modified 9 Apr 2012 by Tom Igoe */

// output the value of each analog input pin
for (int analogChannel = 0; analogChannel < 6; analogChannel++) {

client.print(analogChannel);

// you’re starting a new line
currentLineIsBlank = true;
}
else if (c != ‘r’) {
// you’ve gotten a character on the current line
currentLineIsBlank = false;
}
}
}
// give the web browser time to receive the data
delay(1);
// close the connection:
client.stop();
Serial.println(“client disonnected”);
}
}
