Product Description
Web-enabled appliances include a range of industrial equipment, consumer products, and domestic appliances. Commercial applications include photocopiers or other office equipment that communicate with the home office for diagnostic purposes or supply needs. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), the predominant Internet server implementation, generally requires large bodies of code that can be unwieldy for the limited memory capacity of microprocessors used in embedded systems. This book shows how to implement a smaller, lightweight TCP server suitable for embedded microprocessors. Practical, hands-on TCP/IP programming is explained, with source code for an embedded TCP/IP stack supporting a Web server that provides dynamic graphics. In this new edition, the Web server is ported to the new PIC16F877 chip and updated to work over an ethernet connection. Additionally, a fully described demonstration port runs on Microchip's PICDEM.Net demonstration board.
