Hi all,

I found on google this fantastic place. Thank you all moderators.

I have just taken a look through the datasheet of ENC28J60. I need to establish a simple connection by using this object with PIC18F controlloer using the UNICAST UDP, no webpage required.

I did work with PIC18F for some time, but am quite new to the ethernet controller and got a tight schedule. Does anyone know if there is a quick start on how to use the microchip TCP/IP stack with ENC28J60? Or, it is anyhow essential to read through the source code of the stack?

Thank you very much!

Hi Chen,

The article on Ethernet is a good place to start.

As to the udp broadcast I think the best place to start may be modifying the anounce function. This sends a udp broadcast with the IP in, each time a new IP is detected.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ian,

You are great! I found your article on building the start-up stuff using the ENC28J60 in the "Articles" section. That's, as I suppose, what I am exactly looking for.

The article isn't perfect. There are a number of instabilities in the silicon. You really have to run the PIC at 40Mhz to get the ENC to work properly. There are instabilities in the ENC silicon.
