## Article

**DETAILS**

The [Spinneret Web Server](http://www.parallax.com/product/32203) is an Ethernet-based development board for the Propeller microcontroller. Web page content, files, and logs can be stored on a microSD card. The serial EEPROM has 32 KB for storing a Propeller program and 32 KB for non-volatile data storage, independent of the microSD card. There is a real-time clock controller for time stamping files and events and a backup capacitor that will keep the clock running through extended power outages. There is a serial programming header and two auxiliary I/O connections, one for level-shifted open collector communications over a three-pin data/power/ground cable, and the other is a 12-pin socket for direct 3.3 volt I/O connections. There are eight status LEDs on the circuit board, plus two that are repeated on the Ethernet jack. One of the status LEDs is user-controllable and shares a line with a button that can be read under user control. A second button resets the Propeller to reload the firmware from the EEPROM.
[Wiznet W5100 ethernet chip](http://wiznet.co.kr/sub_modules/en/product/Product_Detail.asp?cate1=5&cate2=7&cate3=26&pid=1011) offloads TCP/IP stack, using minimal Propeller resources.
