ethernet help
PostPosted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 11:31 pm     Reply with quote

Hi all,
I am very new to ethernet communication. I need to send some data to a micro-controller or get some data from micro-controller ad display on webpage through ethernet.
Please help to find out proper document to start my project.


Thank you in advance Idea

You probably want to buy an Ethernet Demo kit.

CCS Makes one: http://www.ccsinfo.com/product_info.php?products_id=proethkit

Microchip makes one: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en028217

I have the Microchip one...

From there, you need to get a compiler.

CCS works, but the tcpip stack is an old port of microchip's 3.75 stack. So you MAY want to consider C18 if you plan on going with the latest Microchip stack (v5.31 I think)

From there, you should probably get an OSI protocol stack model book. Otherwise, you will be lost.

What else would you like to know?

hi bkamen
Thanks for your reply, which one is best ccs or Microchip?
I have used (spi, rs232, pwm, etc) ccs compiler but no experience on c18.
(Since you are using Microchip I'm asking) is c18 better than ccs pic18?

After seeing your above link I feel c18 is best, and I download free version of c18 from website and which is totally different from ccs compiler.

Then what do you mean OSI protocol stack model book?

------Thanks in advance------ Idea

Ya know.. there's a lot of things I don't like about C18. I think the only thing I *do* like is that Microchip's source code compiles directly.

Everything, I like to use CCS. So it's a tough call.

I like to put it like this:

CCS makes a lot of things really easy when coding for PIC micros.

When CCS doesn't work for whatever and you have to go back to writing it yourself, you may as well be using C18.

C18 was a big OS compiler made to work on itty bitty micro's. Yuk.

CCS is hand tuned and tweaked to get the most out of the targets it's made to compile for. (with occasional exceptions, but for the most part..)

I used to have this book around (and probably still do, but I can't find it currently:) http://www.amazon.com/OSI-Model-Computer-Communications-Standards/dp/0136371337/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1291353781&sr=8-9

Or something like it. To understand TCPIP, you should understand Ethernet... and while you're at it understanding Ethernet, this book covers the whole stack of pancakes (yum!) that makes up a lot of common networking concepts we deal with every day.

Very Happy Thanks Ben.


Now I'm searching for tcpip document. Rolling Eyes
