For information purposes, I am curious about using a PIC to permit IP
addressing of various devices in an application.
A possible client is considering being able to talk to a dozen
switches/boxes on site, using TCPIP.
I see on the Microchip site that they offer a TCPIP stack, and that the
more high end devices support this.
I don't know that much about the software involved, so I cannot confirm if
they can 'get there from here' with a PIC.
Assuming I can find a programmer to help with this, am I on the right
track? Anyone done this who can expand on what its all about, and how I
can learn more about the application? Can the PIC handle the interface, or
would each box need a NIC as well? The total amount of information moving
back and forth would be minimal, as in "I am active, not active, my
status, and turn on/turn off type of details"
Kind of general topic, rather than specific details, so I hope it can
stimulate some conversation
Thanks,
John
