Boost Your W5100S-EVB-PICO with HardWired TCP!/IP Introducing a way to speed up the ethernet in the micropython you're using. First off, such a speed enhancement is only possible with a pico equipped with a WIZnet chip. Did you know that the WIZnet ethernet chip (W5100S or W5500) has two modes? They are HardWired and LWIP. By running in HardWired mode, the network physical layer tasks are executed on the Ethernet Chip rather than the MCU, improving both network speed and MCU efficiency. There are also many other ways to improve speed, and further enhancements can be made, but for now, let's…
