Loaded great over here!

Nice work!

Excellent! Assembly went well then I see. Out of Curiousity, how long did it take to solder together?

VERY cool. Tried pinging it and I suspect your home server (or whatever) was replying - the pings were fairly good - 280 ms or so, from Australia.

Are you planing to expand the TCP/IP stack? A fully-featured web (http) server would be a brilliant addition to the object exchange.

Now we just need a Prop Web Browser to display on a VGA screen

I sent a PropNIC to Harrison(he wrote the software you see in the online demo) to help him with developing code. He was using a Demo Board with the ENC28J60 and all resistors and caps on the breadboard, all plugged into a hacked NIC. As you can probably tell, it was a PITA to hook all that up everytime you want to sit and write code. Now that he has a PropNIC, he just plugs it into the breadboard of his Demo Board, hooks up a couple jumper wires, plugs in his ethernet cord, and start coding. Much easier.

Hope to see some more good code soon!

The PropNIC is great since it speeds up my hardware setup as Brian said. I am currently tracking down an annoying lock up bug that either exists in the spi routines (unlikely) or the packet buffers (likely).

A real webserver (with sd card support) would be an awesome addition. Unfortunately that project is low on the priority list since I would have to rewrite most of the code in order to support a true tcp state machine along with multiple packet support.

I figure it is more important to release a telnet <-> FullDuplexSerial emulator/driver since it seems people are more interested in serial cable replacement than web interfaces. It would also give you the chance of writing your own http handlers (although it wouldn't be as fast since the api layer would slow it down by probably a ms or so).

That's a piece of good news! I'll be able to put my PropBBS back online without the use of a computer between... nice!
