Prepare Hardware

1. Combine WIZnet Ethernet HAT with Raspberry Pi Pico.

2. Connect ethernet cable to Ethernet HAT ethernet port.

3. Connect Raspberry Pi Pico to desktop or laptop using 5 pin micro USB cable.

- If you use W5100S-EVB-Pico, you can skip '1. Combine...'

The following serial terminal program is required for DNS test, download and install from below links.

✔Tera Term

Before this, you should find the Raspberry Pi Pico COM port number from "Device Manager" on your PC.

Setup DNS Example - download https://github.com/Wiznet/RP2040-HAT-CircuitPytho...

- Copy all code from download W5x00_DNS.py file or below code section.

- Paste code into code.py on your Raspberry Pi Pico and Save it.

- Press "Ctrl+D" on the terminal window. you can see the messages as follows.

- Access the domain URL of the server and convert it to an IP address.
