Adding TCP/IP Ethernet to PIC - how?

[dhouston]

According to Dave's post, the WIT110SR module could also be an option (http://www.wiznet.co.kr/Sub_Modules/...te3=0&pid=1040) but, at a first glance, it looks a little more complicated however it is half the price of the Nano (!).

As I noted above, of the three (ConnectOne, Tibbo, WIZNet), the WIZ110SR will require the most coding on the PIC end but, if you are looking at a one-off design, it is ready to go out-of-the-box with no assembly required.

If you are planning for volume and designing a PCB, I would go with ConnectOne or Tibbo and the choice would probably depend on the application. The Tibbo, with its own program memory offloads nearly all of the network coding but does mean you are working with two different Basic dialects. I think, if you study the docs I've referenced, you'll be most impressed with the Tibbo. I design projects that usually have some DIY elements and the flexibility of the Tibbo and the fact it is programmable in Basic make it attractive in that environment. Plus, users can reprogram as needed if I become totally incapacitated.

BTW, when I bought my ConnectOne modules they had not released the SocketLAN so I added my own pins to the LANReach. I tend to use the latter term to apply to either.
