Example Code for Arduino-View IO Status Web Server
Last revision 2025/12/09
This sample turns UNO into a Web server that other devices in the same LAN can access to view IO status.
Hardware Preparation
- DFRduino UNO Controller x 1
- DFRduino Ethernet W5100S Expansion Board x 1
- Network Cable x 1
- Router or Switch x 1
- M-M/F-M/F-F Jumper wires
Software Preparation
- Arduino IDE
- Download and install the W5100S Library. (About how to install the library?)
Wiring Diagram

Other Preparation Work
Please replace the original W5100. CPP file with the downloaded file before use (the purpose of replacement is to be compatible with W5100S chip).
File path: Arduino\libraries\Ethernet\SRC\Utility in the Arduino installation directory.

Result
Open the serial monitor after uploading the code, and enter the IP address in the browser of another device on the same LAN to access the Web page and view the IO status on it.
