chibiace 46 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Anybody use a WIZnet W5100 ethernet chip/module with MSP430 value line? will the code fit into 2KB for the low end chips? Im just after simple commands to be sent and received. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faraday 1 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have used the Lantronix xPort to provide ethernet access for my project. Not cheap though ($30) chibiace 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobG 1,892 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Are you planning to build your own board? Chip is $3.60, Mag Jack $2, board and misc parts <$3, all under $10. I want to get that one, but no one in US has it in stock. When buying directly from Wiznet shipping is $15 (UPS.) To get free shipping, minimum is $50 (3 modules would do the trick.) So if anyone is interested in getting anything from Wiznet, parts or other serial modules, I could join. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobG 1,892 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The last time I searched they didn't have it, I might get it from Mouser then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
username 198 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Another option would be the ENC28J60 if your interested. http://tuxgraphics.org/ has a stack built for the sending single tcp/udp stacks.... Its hard to dig up on their site but they got source code and schematic for how to do it with a AVR processor. They use the ENC28J60 which is spi based and its decently cheap... 4usd. I think they got a schematic for it here http://www.tuxgraphics.org/electronics/ ... 6111.shtml Currently i'm working on an arm port for it.... then I may make a MSP430 port.
