Project description

πŸ“Œ Overview

This project demonstrates how to implement Ethernet communication on the W5500-EVB-Pico2 board using MicroPython. The board is configured via SPI to communicate with the W5500 Ethernet chip, enabling network operations such as HTTP requests and Telnet-style data exchange.

βš™οΈ Features

Initialize and configure W5500 over SPI in MicroPython

Support for DHCP and static IP settings

Simple urequests example for HTTP GET/POST

Telnet-like command-line interaction over Ethernet

Modular design for configuration and network control

πŸ’‘ Why This Project Matters

One of the few public examples of MicroPython-based Ethernet control

Offers lightweight, reproducible code ideal for learning or prototyping

Leverages official hardware (W5500-EVB-Pico2) for easy replication

Bridges Python developers with embedded Ethernet systems
