PIC card with Ethernet

Does anyone know where I might get a PCB with Ethernet and a moderate sized PIC? I can start with the CCS development boards and then layout my own without all the knobs and LCDs, but I would rather just buy something.

I need to get a PIC to extract some data from a broadcast Ethernet stream, and generate a sync pulse when it finds what it wants.

Try www.ljcv.net - excellent quality.

That looks like it might do the trick. Thanks!

Hi,

Another alternative might be the PIC-Web boards by Olimex available from Sparkfun.

Here is an example of a board I've played with: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/7829

Microchip also sells the PICdem.net2.

It has the largest 8bit Ethernet PIC onboard (18F97J60) with also an ENC28j60 so you can switch to that if you want to use a PIC that lacks integrated ethernet.

Thanks for the ideas guys. This is the first project that will require me to go beyond my comfort zone with RS232 into a more modern interface.

I just got the book TCP/IP Lean and have ordered the CCS embedded Ethernet development kit. Are there any other references you can reccomend?

I foresee a lot of reading in my future.

Download the microchip application library and get the most up to date TCPIP stack.

It won't compile under CCS at the moment, but you can get an idea of how they have things working.

The CCS TCPIP stack is actually v3.75 of the Microchip stack.

Currently, Microchip is on (I think) version 5.32.

Give you an idea of what's missing. ;)
