The day when you can create very cheap network enabled computers is almost upon us! This year for about 100 bucks you can get the "Embedded Ethernet Development Kit" from Silicon Labratories. It is a mixed signal enhanced 8051 microcontroller with a 10Mbit ethernet controller! 100 bucks is really cheap considering that is the design board cost...so custom spec'ing a board for quantity will really drive the cost down. We are finally to the point where I can write low level sensor computers that report information and recieve information from any node on the network! This means all sorts of fun projects are possible. Plus, I love the fact that the chips are mixed signal and 8051 based. That means I can write code in C and later be able to port the system to any 8051 clone I want. (possibily even a soft-core) Anyways, this page will serve as my information warehouse regarding my experiments with network microcontrollers.
