The R32C microcontroller has seen a good deal of coverage in Elektor magazine. Now we think it’s time to make it go Internet! A small add-on module for the application board from our September 2009 issue combines a TCP/IP chip plus Ethernet interface, a network connection with built-in transformer and status LEDs. This handy combination makes it child’s play to implement a web server and many other Internet applications without getting involved in complexities such as TCP/IP protocol. Free downloads of an Open Source driver, a short web server program and other sample software complete this attractive proposition. The completed unit acts as a networking module for HTTP, e-Mail, FTP and much more.
To make construction of this project as easy as possible, Elektor are offering a DIY kit containing a PCB with all SMDs prefitted, the WIZ812MJ module complete with the W5100 chip, and all other components. All items that make up the kit are also available separately. For pricing and ordering details, please click on the link below.
