This sketch connects with the Arduino through a DHCP assigned IP address. Serial monitor prints out the unique IP. The IP address gets put into Terminal using the telnet function. Using some of the preprogramed functions “ledon” “ledoff” “photo” and “I don’t Understand”. They are pretty self explanatory – but ledon will send a command through the internet that will send a voltage to pin 8, which activates the LED. This test worked.

 

 

 

/*
DHCP Chat Server

A simple server that distributes any incoming messages to all
connected clients. To use telnet to your device’s IP address and type.
You can see the client’s input in the serial monitor as well.
Using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.

THis version attempts to get an IP address using DHCP

Circuit:
* Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
