Design with ENC28J60 Ethernet Module in Cirkit DesignerThe ENC28J60 Ethernet Module is a versatile network module that enables Ethernet connectivity for microcontrollers and embedded systems. Utilizing the ENC28J60, a standalone Ethernet controller with an industry-standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), it is particularly suitable for applications where network connection is required for data exchange, remote control, or monitoring purposes. Common applications include home automation systems, IoT devices, and networked sensors.
This circuit integrates an STM32F4 BlackPill microcontroller with an ENC28J60 Ethernet Board to enable Ethernet connectivity. The microcontroller communicates with the Ethernet board via SPI, with connections for power, ground, and SPI signals (SI, SO, SCK, and CS). The provided code is a basic template for further development.

This circuit features an ESP32 microcontroller interfaced with a W5500 Ethernet module for network connectivity, a DHT22 sensor for measuring temperature and humidity, and an Adafruit SHTC3 sensor for additional temperature and humidity readings. The ZMPT101B module is connected to the ESP32 for voltage measurement in an AC power line. The ESP32 manages data collection from the sensors and communicates with the Ethernet module, likely for data logging or remote monitoring purposes.

Q: Can the ENC28J60 be used with a 5V microcontroller? A: Yes, but level shifters should be used for SPI lines, and the VCC must be supplied with 3.3V.
Q: Is it possible to connect multiple ENC28J60 modules to a single microcontroller? A: Yes, by using separate chip select (CS) lines for each module.
Q: Does the ENC28J60 support full-duplex Ethernet communication? A: No, it supports half-duplex 10 Mbps Ethernet.
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
// MAC address for the Ethernet shield
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
// Initialize the Ethernet client
EthernetClient client;
void setup() {
// Start the Ethernet connection
Ethernet.begin(mac);
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // Wait for serial port to connect
}
Serial.println("Ethernet ready");
// Print the IP address
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
void loop() {
// Your code here to handle Ethernet communication
}
Note: This example assumes the use of the standard Ethernet library compatible with the ENC28J60 module. Make sure to include the correct library for the ENC28J60 if you're not using a standard Ethernet shield.
