Hello

as for now, our team has got the following assignment:
'Embedded system with 4 temperature measurement inputs. It must hold a web page that can be accesed via Ethernet from outside.'

The only criteria we have until now, is that we are suppose to use a Microchip processor.
as for now, we have found these:
http://www.microchipdirect.com/productsearch.aspx?Keywords=DV164136
will this explorer board do the job?
and as we have understood, we need a daughter board, to get ethernet

Are there any good tips out there, to get this project?


ps. We have a teacher, who won't order any components/processors, before everything is 100% looked through, therefore we choose to ask for some advice.

It seems to me that if you are going to spend 165 USD, then this is much better choice:
DM163024 - PICDEM.NET 2 http://www.microchipdirect.com/ProductSearch.aspx?Keywords=DM163024

With this board you get your ethernet/internet and you can use Port A-Port E for your temperature sensors.

It also has onboard temperature sensor. So... If one of the four temperature sensors that you will need is for local/immediate vicinity temperature... then this sensor is already present, just use the temperature sensor on the board. That way you will only need 3 more sensors.
