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
