In this article we'll see another example about the FTPMicro and Microchip TCP/IP stack use. In particular the TCP client will be used to visualize in a LCD display the latest news, directly from the ANSA site.

Let's analyze an example for the monitoring in real time from the temperature, using the sensor on the FTPMicro board, and the switch of two LED, through a HTML page and a CGI one.

FTPmicro is a small embedded web server, as big as a DIP40 package, based on the PIC18F67J60. This chip is a 8-bit PICmicro with an integrated 10BaseT Ethernet controller.

FTPmicro is a web-server or ftp-client, as big as a DIP40 package, based on the PIC18F67J60.
Despite the small dimensions, the board has some interesting features:
1) A microSD card slot
2) A TC1047 temperature sensor
3) Many analog and digital I/O pins
4) Microchip TCP/IP stack
5) Connector for the ICD2 programmer/debugger by Microchip

Do you want to receive an automatic e-mail when is verified an event from any remote site?
Sending the e-mails with the PIC is simple and efficient thanks to FTPmicro and the new version stack 4.11 by Microchip.
In this example, we want to use the new TCP/IP stack functionalities to permit to FTPMicro to send an e-mail to verify an event.
