Hi Everyone

I have searched the forums but without any success so am hoping that someone may be able to help.

I am using an Arduino Mega 2560 + Wiznet w5100 based Arduino shield and would like to covert Trystan's Basic Web Client example for use with my Wiznet w5100 controller rather than the ENC28J60 but just cant seem to convert it without lots of errors.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew

/*
  This is a basic web client demo sending test data to emoncms
  It sends a couple of example variables in a semi-json like format: {power:252.4,temperature:15.4}
 
  Try creating an account on emoncms.org then get the write api key and enter in line 51 replacing
  the text YOURAPIKEY.
 
  This example features both DCHP and DNS Lookup.
 
  DHCP is where we ask the router for an ip address.
 
  DNS is where we ask a Domain name server for the ip address of the server we want to send data to:
  the domain name emoncms.org is linked to the ip address 213.138.101.177
  Using DNS Lookup we can save having to remember these hard to remember strings of numbers.
