Does Romeo work with Ethernet shield ?

userHead faweiz 2014-03-01 19:20:52 6541 Views6 Replies
Hello! Dfrobot,

Does Romeo work with Ethernet shield? And wifi shield?

If so, how can Ethernet shield with POE module work with Romeo ? does it out put the power to power up the arduino? or input the power to charge the router?

And my other question is: which shield is better for arduino Internet project? Wifi shield or Ethernet shield??

Any suggestion would be appreciate!

I gave it a quick go to our Leonardo Xbee board and Romeo and both are working. Make sure you try with the wiki example code, and fix the IP address to the one in your network.

What is your LAN ip range? and the exact code you are using?

There is no "need" to change the MAC address unless you are using several arduino ethernet shields.

You also need to install the library, in order for the W5200 to work.

Both shields could work with the Romeo.
I agree with DebianAddict, Wifi shield is more convenient for robot.

Hi, Grey,


Ethernet Shield for Arduino - W5200

Product Code: DFR0272

https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route= ... xfpnfmwLGE


I just received my ethernet shield today,  However, i don't know how to use it.

how can I get the MAC address for the "Ethernet Shield for Arduino - W5200 (DFR0272)"?


also, I tried to use the sample sketch Mac address: 

byte mac[] = {
  0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };

It doesn't help as well.

Please reply me how to find the mac address for this Ethernet shield.

Thank you!

2014-03-04 08:08:51 I do not know about Romeo, but for a robot (because you made it sound like it has motors) I would suggest the Wifi shield, ethernet has to be hard wired in to a router

I want to build a robot which can connect to the internet. http://axemblo.net/


Does "Ethernet Shield for Arduino - W5200 https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route= ... xPwAPldVSV" work for romeo V2?

And what is "DFRobot Ethernet Shield W5200"  different with "arduino official ethernet shield"?

Both two module could work on the romeo.
What you want to do with these module?
Wifi is easy to move. Ethernet has stable internet connection.
