Does the library work with 8MHz clock? #333

mrv96 commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to develop an ethernet board with Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V, but its clock is 8MHz, does the library should work?

vicatcu commented 6 years ago

The library doesn't know anything about the clock speed of the target as far as I know. The Ethernet controller (ENC28J60) interface is SPI which is clocked by the host, so should be no problem there either. Whether your particular application can up with the Ethernet traffic at 8MHz is something we can't answer here.

Ok, thank you very much, i'm developing a cheap art-net to dmx board, i'll do some tries, but in my opinion 8MHz should be enough fot only one universe.
