WIZnet Ethernet Board for QuickStart (W5200)

The WIZnet W5200 for QuickStart allows your QuickStart board to serve data to an Ethernet network or even the Internet.  The WIZnet W5200 chip provides an Ethernet to SPI bridge which is interfaced with Parallax’s 8-core microcontroller, the Propeller P8X32A.  The data served to a network can be anything you want – web pages, serial data, email, and more.

Many useful demo programs are available for download from the product page to get you started, including a webserver capable of serving dynamic data from the SD card to your favorite browser.  Advanced users can develop firmware that allows the WIZnet W5200 board + QuickStart to respond to or generate any type of network traffic.
