Post by thread:[PIC] TCP/IP embedded

Correctly tagget: Hi, Well, I'm looking into include TCP/IP connectivity to some of my product and would love some suggestions since I'm fairly new at this. I cant buy here the RTL8019As, is it good? What should I take care of? How much cost would an internet connection add in a product (aprox) if making low qtys (<100)? Any recommendations will be very appreciated. Regards, Mauricio Jancic

Mauricio, I use the Modtronix SBC65EC (http://www.modtronix.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_36&products_id=149) on a current project. It is low cost $59 so for quantities below 100 it can be used as a daughter board. Easy to re-cad when the series grows. Also Modtronix (or for UK residents Total Telematics) have excellent service. Less then a weeks delivery to Sweden. If you use the Microchip TCP/IP stack most of the work is already done for you in regards of interfacing the RTL8019As and TCP/IP. Works fine Cheers /Ake Mauricio Jancic wrote: {Quote hidden}>Correctly tagget: > >Hi, > Well, I'm looking into include TCP/IP connectivity to some of my >product and would love some suggestions since I'm fairly new at this. > I cant buy here the RTL8019As, is it good?

Aside from the device cost and programming/web development, you may have to add some power supply capacity. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany --"it's the network..."

I always wanted to add TCP/IP to a PIC uC but it is still in the TODO work stack/queue.

Also there are open source projects on this: http://www.ethernut.de/ using an Atmel http://web51.hw-server.com/ using Intel There is an interesting article: TCP/IP on a PIC http://www.eix.co.uk/Ethernet/WWarticle.htm > How much cost would an internet connection add in a product (aprox) >if making low qtys (<100)? > > No idea, it depens on your hardware.

In the near future, I will release complete design (including gerber files) on my site. Hovewer if you need external RAM memory and more peripherals (SPI flash, RTC, etc), you will need 4-layer board. Michal Vanka http://www.vanka.net > > Mauricio Jancic > > -

If you add another $15 you can get the Modtronix SBC45 (http://www.modtronix.com/index.php?cPath=1_36) Its a much better choice IMHO. Uses the Microchip free TCP/IP stack (source available), schematics available, very good support. Can't recommend this company and its products enough. An no I'm not affiliated. /Ake .....SavanaPicsKILLspam.....aol.com wrote: >I was going to do some atm atuff via the net and intended to use the >Siteplayer.
