6 years ago Have you set your shield's MAC_ADDRESS properly? It might be written on a sticker on the shield. DE:AD:BE:EF:FE:FE is a sort of (joke) placeholder address.
Have you tested your Ethernet shield without DCC++ to make sure it works? There should be some examples in the IDE.
I bought an Arduino Mega with a Motorshield and an Ethernet shield 2. Over usb it works perfectly with the controller, but I can not get the Ethernet shield 2 to run with the DCC Software. Is it correct that I have to select COMM_INTERFACE 1 ??? This is how my configuration file looks like. The Board does not reply on a ping command. So I assume it does not work properly. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thankyou
