The documentation for this library is at http://jeelabs.net/pub/docs/ethercard/.
ESP_8266 port by Guilherme Poletto. Based on the work by Seradisis for the STM32 platform. Available at: https://github.com/Serasidis/STM32duino/tree/master/libraries/Serasidis_EtherCard_STM
- Download the ZIP file from https://github.com/jcw/ethercard/archive/master.zip
- From the Arduino IDE: Sketch -> Include Library... -> Add .ZIP Library...
- Restart the Arduino IDE to see the new "EtherCard" library with examples
See the comments in the example sketches for details about how to try them out.

//!!MUST BE LOW FOR THE ESP TO BOOTUP (if high, triggers spi_flash_boot!!)
//Some ENC28j60 boards have a 10k pullup that MUST be removed
//as not to interfere with the ESP bootup process
For questions and help, see the forums (at JeeLabs.net). The issue tracker has been moved back to Github again.
There are other Arduino libraries for the ENC28J60 that are worth mentioning:
- UIPEthernet (Drop in replacement for stock Arduino Ethernet library)
- EtherShield (no longer maintained, predecessor to Ethercard)
- ETHER_28J60 (no longer maintained, very low footprint and simple)
