I'm trying to connect the arduino mega and ethernet shield and try to send some data to a php script. I have connect the ethernet shield to the laptop. Lap is connected to router through wi-fi. But it's failing at mac assignment checking IF and getting the following assigned error message, "Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP". Any help in advance please.
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <SPI.h>
byte mac[] = { 0x90, 0xA2, 0xDA, 0x0D, 0x85, 0xD9 }; //physical mac address
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 5 }; // ip in lan
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 0, 1 }; // default gateway
IPAddress server(192,168,1,2);
EthernetClient client;
String data;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
// start the Ethernet connection:
while (!Serial);
Ethernet.begin(mac,ip,gateway,subnet); // initialize Ethernet device
if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");
for (;;)
;
}
Serial.print("My IP address: ");
for (byte thisByte = 0; thisByte < 4; thisByte++) {
Serial.print(Ethernet.localIP()[thisByte], DEC);
Serial.print(".");
}
delay(4000); // GIVE THE SENSOR SOME TIME TO START
data = "";
}
void loop(){
data = "&temp1=10&hum1=20";
if (client.connect(server,1234)) { // REPLACE WITH YOUR SERVER ADDRESS
Serial.println("Server connection OK");
client.println("POST /add.php HTTP/1.1");
client.println("Host:" + server);// SERVER ADDRESS HERE TOO
client.println("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
client.print("Content-Length: ");
client.println(data.length());
client.println();
client.print(data);
}
if (client.connected()) {
client.stop();// DISCONNECT FROM THE SERVER
}
delay(5000); // WAIT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE SENDING AGAIN
}
