It works! I’m actually quite surprised. Outlook was pretty gloomy for a while, but I’ve got a simple HTTP server running on my atmega168. Here’s my experience with Tuxgraphics and AVRlib. (I haven’t given up on writing my own driver and tcp/ip stack, but I really wanted to prove the hardware worked first. Too many unknowns makes debugging really hard.) (more…)
Yesterday afternoon I finished wiring up the ENC28J60. Everything looks good so far. Both the hub and my dev board see the ethernet link-beat. I’m taking some time off to figure out what’s next. I can either copy the AVR project I linked in my previous post, or write my own driver and tcp/ip stack. Doing it myself could be interesting, but I’m concerned it will take too long. (more…)
Its been hard finding the time to work on my projects. I’m starting to suspect I won’t finish until summer passes and my A/C is useless. I did a quick and inexhaustive research on connecting a microcontroller to an Ethernet network. This post covers some of the options I found and the one i chose. (more…)
