Ethernet Interface
Ethernet Interface
For Ethernet Interface the controller ENC28J60 with 10MBit/s is used, but also newer PIN-compatible chips can be inserted. The plug is equipped with 2 LEDs so function can be seen. Since this Chip has no Ethernet address in chip, we have to assign him one on start-up by the MCU. The clock is shared with the MCU. Nothing special, except connection to dsPIC are other pins then on Explorer 16, if you use software from that.
