Hi, new member, first post.
I have a project that is basically a device connected to POE and is switched on as soon as its connected, but now I need to have some communications with this device and add some intelligence. Having had zero to do with Ethernet connectivity, I'm clueless, and not even sure what terms to search.
I'm trying to create a connection where I can receive data from this device and send back calibration values from a mobile app or by logging in to a website or even the device itself. I understand I need a microprocessor in the device and have experience with 8 bit PICs. What I don't have is is experience getting a PIC to communicate over Ethernet with an app.
Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
