Microchip Ethernet controllers

[nba30]

The Microchip ENC28J60 is now available for purchase and sampling! I just received mine last week. Can't wait to get an Ethernet project going...

Samples arrived this morning!

Now to see if we can make this baby fly

The datasheet is a bit of a beast, so hopefully everything should be in there to get a sample app working. I see as well that Fred at EDTP has a couple of circuits up already.

nice.

Fred Eady has published C code for ENC28J60 drivers. See Eady-191.zip at...

I just received one the other day and WoW it works. A little power hungry but it did take some time to debug the C to PICBasic routines.

Any chance you'll be that "resource for others" and share the conversion?

I'm sorry. It's not me.

Can we start a section both in schematics and PicBasicPro in the forum to deal with the ENC28J60 chip?

I've read through the monster datasheet from microchip and am wondering if we can start discussion on various (many) details regarding using this chip with PICBASIC.


As I understand it the microcontroller will communicate via SPI with the ENC28J60, is it possible for us to develop PICBASIC commands to help setup and initialize the ENC chip and also send and receive data?

Maybe we can call them NICOUT and NICIN?

anyone else getting started with these that might want to work together?
