PIC and Internet

[Frank607]

Hi all,

A long time ago I get an idea in my head and it won’t go.

I want to make a simple application to control 4 relays over the internet via the web browser on a computer. I read al lot of information but that information is without FlowCode to program this.

I have a few ENC28J60 Ethernet LAN Modules and I need a PIC Controller.

• What is the best (normal price) PIC controller what I need to buy ?

• Can I use FlowCode 5.5 for my idea to program this or do I need FlowCode 6?

• And most important; is it easy to make this sort of program with Flowcode?

Maybe some strange questions but I try to find out where to start or not to start with this project.

Thanks for your answers and best regards,

Frank

Hi Frank

Have a look at these pages.
Matrix have a basic course and example files these might give you some pointers.

One more question,

Can I use the TCP/IP Stack and the Web server Components on a regular PIC? For example a 18F4550 or a 18LF2550. (with a ENC28J60 module)

Or do I need to buy Eblocks?

Thanks for the answers.

Hi Frank

I have used the Internet E-block (Mines the original version compared to what they sell now, but are both included in FC , though only in the Pro version)
If you didn't want to use the E block board you'd need to use the same TCP/IP module that's on the e block to be compatible with flow code component.

I seem to remember I had to use a 18F4550, don't think the 16F877A had enough memory.

with a ENC28J60 module

The TCP/IP stack and webserver components in Flowcode can only used with WIZ3100 or WIZ5100 modules. The ENC28J60 is not supported.
