| Yesterday I received my ENC28J60 modules after 5 weeks of waiting. I ordered the 3.3V with a 10-pin headermodules as shown in the expansion port Wiki. The modules I got are 5V, have a 12-pin header and the SI & INT signal seems missing. See picture: EXTERNAL LINK I've contacted the eBay seller yesterday. But even if he send them today, I have to wait another 5 weeks. :) Then I posted this in the Vampire Facebook group. One member Leigh 'Perc' Rus gave me some links to Arduino & RPI forums where they discussed this problem. I have read the info on that forums. It seems that: LNT = INT ST = SI Q3 = 3.3V The board also has a SCK and CLK pin As I remembered from the SDNET readme one should use the SCK pin! I've connected now my ENC module to these pins like the expansion port Wiki says. I triple checked every connection on the ENC28J60 module and on the A500 V2+ expansion header. Layout as from the Wiki: Expansion Connector. ENCJ2860 Module 8 (MISO) So 1 (MOSI). Si 3 (nCS1). CS 6 (CLK). SCK 5 (IRQ) INT 7 (GND). GND 2 (+3.3V). VCC EXTERNAL LINK EXTERNAL LINK And what happened? It worked without as it should :) I guess that the factory misspelled the characters. Just look good at ST & SI, Q3 & 3.3V and LNT & INT. For users not familiar with the Latin alphabet an error can easily be made. The mingled characters and numbers resemble one an other a bit :) The Apollo Team should add this variation of the ENC module info to their Wiki. :)
