Ethernet for PICs using ENC28J60

Hi all,

I am dabbling with Microchip's ENC28J60 10baseT ethernet chip and a PIC12F675 at the moment, but thinking this is too much of a challenge for a newbie and perhaps I should use the Microchip TCP/IP stack first (which was designed for at least PIC18 MCUs) rather than writing my own SPI bit-bang routines for a 12F675 and working at packet level.

Which of the PIC18 MCUs is a good starting point for the ENC28J60?

Obviously it needs an SPI interface and I'm not concerned with any other specific I/O functionality at this point nor do I have any requirement for significant RAM or program memory.

All I have used so far is a PIC12F675, so the simpler the better!

Thanks,

David
 
12F675 code for SPI if anybody is interested

Here is the 12F675 SPI bit-bang code I've written so far if anybody is interested, but I haven't even been able to figure out if it's working or not. I'm not confident the timing is 100% but it looks ok on a scope (I think!).

Code:
#include <p12F675.inc>
;     __CONFIG (_INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF &_BODEN_OFF &_CP_OFF &_CPD_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF)
     __CONFIG (_INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF &_BODEN_OFF &_CP_OFF &_CPD_OFF)

Hey im very interested in this project. Can someone post all the parts needed to set up a ethernet board..

I know i need the:
ENC28J60

and was looking at the schematics for the eval board. I need also:
Code:
25mhz crystal
50 ohm resistors
180 ohm resistors
2.7k resistors

10uf caps
0.1uf caps
33pf caps

I see a L1 but i think its a ferret beed

Ethernet Jack
they have a 256K SPI™ Bus Serial EEPROM but not sure if its needed 100%
and a PIC of course but anything else? Or something i can change or something?
 
You need the Ethernet transformer or a RJ45 jack with it built in. You don''t need the extra eeprom unless you want to store more web pages or data than the flash on the PIC will hold. It is not a hard project if you use MicroChip's stack. Here is a picture of a 18F4620 interfaced to the ENC28J60 (minus the RJ45 jack) which shows how simple the hardware is:

That's where I got the Valor FL1012 from. :D
 
heh if thats the case i have a bunch of old motherboards. im sure they have the transformer stuff built into the jack. It seems like a save :D

Thanks for the tip. You think it would be hard to implement a SPI eeprom or infact a SD card using SPI just like a eeprom ? Does the stack have a fat32 type structure or is it custom?

I watched so many videos its not funny. I love the web vending machine one. I seen all 3 and fell in love. i would love to make a ethernet board so i can monitor stuff and host or send the data to myself.

1 question... does the ethernet stack have a server type code built in? So when i connect it, it will serve the info auto? Or does one need it to a PC ?

The Microchip stack, that I used, had the code for I2C eeprom already. You'd have to write your own if you wanted SPI.
Does the stack have a fat32 type structure or is it custom?
The stack had it's own file format called MPFS. I seem to remember that Microchip also provided a utility to convert files to MPFS format.
1 question... does the ethernet stack have a server type code built in?
Yes. The one I played with was the HTTP server. It served up a webpage where you could turn on a LED with a mouse click and read values from the ADC with your web browser. You did need a terminal program to setup DCHP or static IP's via the serial port if you didn't want to modify the code and hard code those options in. Pretty neat little application. There were also FTP & SNMP modules available.
 
Thats awesome. I would make a little handheld device to program them This way no PC is needed and its not hard coded.

This sounds awesome. Is it still like:

microchip.com/tcpip ?
 
What you are looking for is called a MagJack. Your DipMicro site has cheap ethernet connectors with built in magnetics. OEM ethernet cards and Motherboards and such almost always have the magnetics seperate from the jack.

Check out the hackaday articles:
How-To: Web server on a business card (Part 1) - Hack a Day
How-To: Web server on a business card (Part 2) - Hack a Day

Personally I use a Wiznet W5100 for an 8bit uC solution. It's real easy, with the TCP stack right on chip. You can have simple servers running with just a state machine on the uC. Unfortunately they seemed to have jacked up the price of the w5100 to $5 each. Also it is a hard chip to etch for/mount. It has 0.4mm lead spacing, which means board houses with 8mil spacing requirements wont work with it. 0.4mm is very odd spacing.

Also the higher series Stellaris Cortex-M3 uC's have a MAC/PHY built right into the chip and are ready to go. You already have a JTAG programmer and Crossworks. You may not want to try that out right at first, but keep it in mind. I'm definitely going to be trying them out sometime when I have the time.
 
the motherboards i have dont have no seperate magnets. all is single. But i will def... get from DipMicro.

After i learn this im moving over to GSM. Ill buy a cheap sim card (prepaid) and test it out. I guess i would need 2 sim cards and 2 GSM modules but heh it will be fun.

Do you think i should contact GSM company like tmobile and ask if there is a plan i can put the chip on so i just have data? and thus save money

Have a look at the attached.

It works for me. It's just the datasheet for the Wiznet W5100 premade module.

That's what I originally tested with before I made up a board.
 
@DirtyLude
I am just playing with one at the moment - did you manage to get DHCP working on it?

Rupert
 
I haven't implemented DHCP on it. I just assigned a static IP, since it's connecting to my home network. I guess I should put in DHCP sometime, but it's not a priority for me. I'm actually working with the W5300 now. Pretty much the same thing in terms of interface, though.

I'm currently working on a simple RF mesh network that I'd like to integrate into the HTTP server and be able to control RF nodes and read sensor data over the web.
 
its my pc :( but its wierd only that pdf... i will try to convert all to jpgs and read it. If not ill try my virtual box pc and see if i can peek in

Edit:
Finally got it to work ok. I had to split it with photoshop into 14 different pages then merge it back heh nice device
