As far as I know there is not any easy way to get ethernet connectivity for the BX24. However you can get limited success by adding an external ethernet chip. There is no protocol stack (unless you write one), but you should be able to send and receive UDP packets, by manipulating the registers in the ethernet chip. Check out: http://www.embeddedethernet.com/ I have used this circuit with other micros like the BX24. You can modify the authors code, he has a version for the basic stamp.

Another site to check out is http://www.embeddedether.net/ This seems to be a different board for about the same price. However, it has an application note for the BX24. -Rene -----Original Message----- From: twesthoff [mailto:] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 8:09 AM To: Subject: Re: [BasicX] Re: BasicX BX28 As far as I know there is not any easy way to get ethernet connectivity for the BX24.

The Easy way to get internet connectivity for the BX24 is to connect a SitePlayer to it. NetMedia, Inc. makes both devices. Using just a serial port in the BX24 (two pins) you can have web pages provided by the SitePlayer with live data from the BX24.

>As far as I know there is not any easy way to get ethernet connectivity >for the BX24. Sure - hang a TINI off its serial port, use the BX24 for interfacing IO and all that pseudo-realtime stuff, and run the control algorithm and data store in the comparatively huge TINI memory. Not so cheap though. :-( James

Though I have as yet to implement it I thought that SitePlayer would suffice for this. Its not that expensive and thats why I purchased it. The 'device processor' communicates via 'objects' to the SP html pages and the user (client) then uses a normal browser to retrieve the pages and view the output of the objects. --- In basicx@y..., "James Mansion" <james@w...> wrote: > >As far as I know there is not any easy way to get ethernet connectivity > >for the BX24. > > Sure - hang a TINI off its serial port, use the BX24 for interfacing > IO and all that pseudo-realtime stuff, and run the control algorithm > and data store in the comparatively huge TINI memory. > > Not so cheap though. :-( > > James

>Though I have as yet to implement it I thought that SitePlayer would >suffice for this. Its not that expensive and thats why I purchased it. I guess 'it depends'. You can telnet to TINI, and FTP to and from it. It can create server-side sockets, send out UDP datagrams, etc. Just like a 'real computer' only much (much!) slower. Its probably unreasonable to compare the two. James
