Propeller and sending data on the internet

Has any one figured out a way to send small bits of data to a computer through a inter net connection. Say I wanted to hook up my propeller to my router and send data to my website. Is this possible? How do i go about it? Do i need to use a communications IC of some kind?

Any help is always loved!

    Search for ybox2 in the forums. That should lead you on a path to Propeller-internet enlightenment.

    Just write up a TV Typewriter with a serial io and connect it to a dialup modem (with a max232 chip) and then dial up on
    sdf.lonestar.org

    edit:that ybox2 looks mighty cool!

    You could also look in to the WIZnet modules. A few of us on here have them and have experimented with them. I need to pull mine out again and do some more coding with it. A WIZnet module contians there W5100 IC which handles most of the ethernet "stuff" while the Propeller exchanges data in registers with it via an SPI or an 8/16 bit interface.

    Got a driver Timothy? WIZ811MJ @ $16 is cheap and the form-factor is a little more "attractive" than the Olimex ENC60J28.

    look up Harrisons's posts on the forum. he's the one who built the TCP/IP stack or what ever it's called for the prop. he has UDP messaging capability, a Prop hosting a web page. and much more.

    Jazzed -

    I have some UDP code that I believe it posted in the forum somewhere. I got distracted right after I made it ping and never came back to it. I was using the W5100 in SPI mode. In time I want to get the newer module that has the 0.1" headers instead of the 2mm headers. Too many projects, too little time.
