Adding TCP/IP Ethernet to PIC - how?

[l_gaminde]

I like ConnectOne's nano LanReach. It does e-mail.

or, if you can use an external adapter and don't need e-mail

I have also used the connectone iChip it had good software and could do most of what you want but there were things missing and just wrong for general hookup.

1. Its a 3.3 volt device so you must be running @ 3.3 or use an adapter !

2. Its pin size and Pin Spacing are not standard for US market (this may not be a problem for you)

3. I noted a number of problems to there tech staff about there manual being incorrect which made it very hard to get started without there test board.

4. It does email had it sending mail once every 4 hours when on vacation, time and temp, so I could see if there was any ip address changes ( non static) I would then log on to the webpage to make sure it was working using smart phone.

5. They have wifi modules that do both wired and wireless I would go this route next time.
