Microchip Ethernet controllers

[dhouston]

Have you seen the ongoing threads about programming the PIC18F67J60 (in essence a PIC married to the ENC28J60) in the PicBasicPro forum?

I have reveiwed that thread but when I looked up that part microchip didn't seem to offer a DIP version so I stuck to trying to get going with the ENC28J60.

My point was that you might find the PBP code for the 18F67J60 is transferable to the ENC28J60. I haven't really looked at it in depth but Fred has C code for both and has ported the 18F67J60 C code to PBP.

BTW, for anyone finding it hard to source the Magjack Fred used with both the Frame Thrower and Ethernet Mini, the Pulse JP011821U (Mouser 673-JP011821U) is equivalent.

Thanks for posting the other link, i'll check it out the other thread again. After solving early problems I had with the USB 18F4550 chip (breadboard,doh!) by moving my setup to a (very crappily built) PCB (under exposed-developed / over soldered). If the code for the "All in one" requires much modification I might have trouble - I'm not the most capable programmer (yet).

I'm sure I'll post any updates to keep other's informed... which is when i'll zap you with all my brainless self answering questions.
