Ethernet is everywhere these days, so I'm trying to design ethernet embeded system using PIC microcontroller PIC18F97J60.
Designing a board is ok and even to manifacture it, but plenty of efforts should be done developing application.
First challenge is that I need programmer for this microcontrooler which I can't really find.
Here we go, I hope that you are going to post your ideas or suggestions for helping me and to have information available on this forum aboout this new microcontroller.
Here is a PIC18F97J60 library file to be used with eagle, but you are on going to use at your own risk as I don't take any responsibility for anything, I just finished it but haven't tested it,
However if there is any error please write to me and I will try to sort it out.
Enjoy it
Hi there I'm sorry but there is a bug in this library I will fix it and post it soon.
I was thinking of using PIC18F97J60 but I'm afraid it's not yet widely available, so I believe the alternative will be the ENC28J60 with most probably 16F877A or 16F452.
Never mind, my first step is to find out what is available in the market then I will work on the design. It sounds odd to find out what is availabe and then design!
But I have got no choice.
it looks like no one interested. nevermind, I'll start collecting what I need to work Ethernet with pic, Most probably ENC28J60 with PCI16F877.
So if you have any comments you are welcome to post it here.
I found the links very usefull, thanks for that, and for the advice as well, I wanted to use PIC61f877 cause I've got programmer for it, but I thinkg I should use 18F microcontroller as you mentioned.
it's cool stuff but I already ordered Edtp " frame thrower" board with ENC28J60, which is ready built board and all you need to do is to interface to your microcontroller using SPI port
