New Ethernet Libraries with TCP/IP stack support coming soon

New Ethernet Libraries with TCP/IP stack support are coming soon

Yesterday we talked about the revision of FAT16 and FAT32 libraries,
and today we are excited to share the news about what we are planing
to implement in the new revision of the Ethernet libraries in mikroElektronika compilers.

1. We have introduced TCP client functions for all Ethernet libraries.
This means that your device can now initiate the communication with the server,
in the way browsers do on your computer. This feature is anticipated
for more than two years now, and we are so excited to finally have the resources
to implement it. TCP client implementation enabled us to expand the libraries further.

2. Library can simultaneously handle multiple sockets for both TCP client
and TCP server implementation. You can also define maximum number of sockets
based on your available RAM memory, or based on the target bandwidth,
and you are ready to go.

3. We have written an entire TCP/IP stack with initial handshakings
at the beginning of connection, and management of sent and received packages,
error handling. You are now free to send as many packages as you want.
This package fragmentation allows you to build large websites.
Users can define the size of Transmit buffer for each socket and you can fill
this buffer with whatever data you want. You can even store part of the resources in RAM,
part in Flash and part in external memory (MMC/SD card)
and have it all sent as a whole website. It's truly a very powerful feature!

We have also upgraded UDP functions with several features,
but this time we have mainly focused on TCP.

What's best of all, we are going to simultaneously release these features
for ENC28J60, ENC24J600, internal Ethernet in PIC18F87J60 and PIC32MX7.
You'll have it all covered! We hope you will like the new libraries which will enable you
to build fantastic applications. We can't wait to build the first browser-controlled
home automation devices and we already have other interesting projects in mind.
But, let's wait till the final releases.

Stay tuned for some more interesting information this week.

Yours sincerely,
mikroElektronika

OMFG, that is just so great!

Now we can use a Ethernet Embedded Module as a true WebService, and also use other webservices around the world from the Module, imagine the possibilities!

Code: Select all

We can't wait to build the first browser-controlled
home automation devices and we already have other interesting projects in mind.
But, let's wait till the final releases.

I've already built such a system, it controls 8 Lights, has Smoke, Movement and Gas Sensors input, Wallswitch support, Light Dimming, Automatic Drapery and in the near future Voice Recognition Capabilities using Mikroe Solutions.

The only thing lacking was that SPI ETHERNET library was not as reliable as I expected, with this new library, no more excuses.

Thank you so much Mikroe!

Hi anikolic,
is it possible to get hand on "beta" versions of these libs? I may have some stuff to test with these

[mlebel]

Interested in Smart Home modules?

Try: http://www.onofftech.com

It all been programed with MikroC

When Can We Expect This Library ?

[filip]

Hi,

You can download the library from the following location :
http://www.libstock.com/projects/view/1 ... et-library

I Am Running Windows Is There a Unzip program to extract *.mpkg files or maybe pack it in a Zip Format ?

[filip]

Hi,

This file you can open using the Package Manager :
http://www.mikroe.com/eng/products/view ... e-manager/

Download the Package Manager, install, open the desired package, click Install Package and it will install in your target compiler.

Regards,
Filip.

Thank You

how it goes with the stack for J60 PICs?

Thank you. L.

[filip]

Hi,

The internal J60 Ethernet library will be soon available too.

Regards,
Filip.

Will the library alone, be too big for the limited Compiler?

[filip]

Hi,

Yes, in order to use it you will need a full compiler version.

Regards,
Filip.

I want to make a CHEAP REMOTE WEB BASED 5 Gas Analyzer for Vehicles With PIC MCUS.First i Need 5 Gas Sensor which can detect Nox,CO,HC,O2 ETC.Does Anyone know about any Cheap 5 Gas Transducer Which i can integrate with ANY MCU.I am Open to any Tips,Hints,Leads,Ideas,Instructions etc.Please Help me MiKroe this is for my high School Project.Thanks in Advance. (I apologize If i posted this in a wrong place)

[cedric]

Hi,

I have a PIC18F87J50 (mikromedia for PIC18FJ) and an external Ethernet controller board (Serial Ethernet),
can I still develop my embedded web server using this TCP/IP stack?
