## Components

## Article

**DETAILS**

Need a tiny web server? [Rob] over on the 43oh forums [made an Ethernet booster pack](http://www.43oh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=2529) for the very popular TI MSP430 microcontroller. If that’s not enough, [Rob] also put together an all-in-one solution with a MSP430 and Ethernet controller that can be powered by a battery. Along with the web server that fits in just 5k of flash, we’re going to say [Rob] has a very good solution for remote sensing and data logging.

For his Ethernet-enabled 430, [Rob] chose to use the [WIZnet W5200 Ethernet controller](http://www.wiznet.co.kr/sub_modules/en/product/Product_Detail.asp?cate1=5&cate2=38&cate3=0&pid=1144). This chip communicates with the 430 via and SPI interface and has a hardware TCP/IP stack that supports TCP, UDP, and PPPoE, offloading all the low-level stuff off of the 430 and onto the Ethernet controller.
