Introduction
few years ag MCS Electr nics intr duced Easy-TCP/IP, which gave y u a
way f interfacing AVR micr c ntr llers t the Internet in a fast, c st
effective way. Easy-TCP/IP is n w being used in the w rld f embedded
electr nics.
We are n w intr ducing the Easy-TCP/IP TWI – a TCP/IP interface, which uses nly
a few I/O pins f y ur micr c ntr ller,and requires minimal change in y ur
riginal pr gram c de. Easy-TCP/IP TWI was devel ped in resp nse t ur users’
feedback.
The key advantage f the Easy-TCP/IP TWI is that it nly uses f ur micr pr cess r
pins, i.e., tw I/O pins f r I²C serial c mmunicati ns, and ne interrupt pin and a
reset pin. Thus only 4 I/O pins are needed t implement a full TCP/IP interface.
The previ usly released TCP/IP b ard used ab ut 16 I/O lines, making it nly
suitable f r relatively large AVR c ntr llers. If y u are upgrading an applicati n t
TCP/IP, y u are much m re likely t have 4 I/O pins available than 16. And y u
d n t need much m re r m f r the changes needed in the pr gram c de.
The reducti n f I/O pins f the Easy-TCP/IP TWI makes it sl wer than the EASY-
TCP, but f r a l t f embedded applicati ns high speed is n t a requirement. It’s up
t y u t decide whether y u ch se speed, Easy-TCP r a c mpact and ec n mic
Easy-TCP/IP TWI. Using fewer pins requires that reading and writing be serial
rather than parallel, which makes the TWI interface sl wer than the parallel interface.
This guide will help y u implement Easy-TCP/IP TWI. It assumes y u have s me
experience with the Easy-TCP/IP b ard. If y u have n t, please als read the East-
TCP/IP manual, available fr m www.mcselec.c m. The exact l cati n is :

N te that Easy TCP/IP-TWI requires the 7010A-Adapter B ard.
The Easy TCP/IP M therb ard is nly intended t test this 7010A-Adapter B ard.
Y u can als use an NM7010A m dule r the W3100A chip in y ur design.

1. Getting started
This chapter explains how to get started with Easy-TCP/IP TWI.
f y u have n experience with TCP/IP please read the TCP/IP manual
available fr m www.mcselec.c m. The TCP/IP manual describes general
issues f TCP/IP and h w t c nfigure and test the EASY-TCP/IP series in
y ur LAN.
The Easy-TCP/IP TWI b ard is meant t give y u a way f experimenting with
TCP/IP and BASCOM. If y u wish t build y ur wn c mplete s luti n we
suggest y u implement the NM7010A Adapter B ard in y ur wn system. The
NM7010A is available fr m www.mcselec.c m
1.1 Assemb ing your PCB
This chapter will take you thru the assembling of your EASY-TCP/IP T I
adapter and mother -board. Soldering the components can be done best in
the order of the part list found on page 7.
On the PCB y u will find pads like this:
When s ldering IC’s r c nnect rs, the square pad marks pin 1. F r capacit rs the
square pad marks the p sitive (+) p le.
CAUTION
We advise y u t use IC s ckets rather than s ldering the IC’s directly t the
PCB. Y u may want t use l w quality IC s ckets f r the ATMegas, since it is
easier t (re-) insert IC’s int l w quality s ckets than int high quality (turned)
s ckets.
Do not insert the IC’s at this time

Note 1 : The adapter b ard is c nnected t the M therb ard with a 6/7-pin
male header. This header must be s ldered n the b ard s it p ints d wnward.
S lder it fr m the t p f the b ard s that it can be inserted int the
M therb ard female header, which will be bel w it.
BEFORE YOU CONNECT THE POWER
Once y u have s ldered all parts, check the PCBs. Rem ve any small s lder
d ts between tracks, check y u have s ldered all the pins and that the s lder
j ints l k shiny (n c ld s lder j ints). All c ntacts sh uld l k g d.
C nnect a p wer supply t the M therb ard. The p wer sh uld be in the range
fr m 7 – 12VDC. The higher the v ltage, the m re p wer must be dissipated by
the regulat r. S 7V is better than 12V but b th will w rk.
The p larity is n t imp rtant since a di de bridge is used. Measure the v ltage
at pin 3 f IC4. It sh uld be 5V. Als measure the v ltage at pin 2 f IC5. It
sh uld be 3.3V. The pin ut f the 3.3V regulat r is the same as the 7805 s be
careful that the pin ut is c rrect if y u plan t use a different 3.3V regulat r.
When y u use the SMD-Adapter b ard, it is n t needed t insert the 3V3
regulat r !
If the v ltage is n t c rrect, disc nnect the p wer and check the b ard.
It is g d practice t use a nut and b lt t fasten each regulat r t the b ard t
pr vide a heat sink.
If the v ltages check ut OK, disc nnect the p wer and place ONE f the
ATMega c ntr llers. (Y u can use ATMega32 r ATMega88 r chips with the
same pin uts) Als place the MAX232. At this p int, it is a g d idea t use a
simple pr gram t utput s mething like “1” then “2” n the serial p rt in a d
l p with a 1 sec nd wait between transmissi ns t ensure that everything is
w rking OK n the m therb ard.
Check that the 7010A adapter b ard has n s lder d ts then c nnect the 7010A
adapter t the main b ard.
