Wiznet's W5100-EVB-PICO Real Clock on LCD Display

With the use of Wiznet's W5100S-EVB-PICO and LCD I2C displaying the Real Clock using SNTP Server.

This project is based on Wiznet's W5100S-EVB_PICO with C programming using VS studio Code, Its just a small project of showcasing interfacing PCF8574 I2C LCD display and Displaying the real time clock with date time and seconds using the SNTP server with Wiznet IOLibrary.

Hardware Specification ​

Pin-out ​

W5100S-EVB-Pico pinout is directly connected to the GPIO of RP2040 as shown in the picture above. It has the same pinout as the Raspberry Pi Pico board. However, GPIO16, GPIO17, GPIO18, GPIO19, GPIO20, GPIO21 are connected to W5100S inside the board. These pins enable SPI communication with W5100S to use Ethernet function. If you are using the Ethernet function, these pins cannot be used for any other purpose.
