StrichLux/IO-ETH
From Hackstrich
Revision as of 03:23, 2 May 2012 by SarahEmm (talk | contribs) (moved StrichLux/IO-ArtNet to StrichLux/IO-ETH: Renaming project.)
The StrichLux IO-ETH module will provide 1-4 universes of input or output via Art-Net initially, but may support other protocols later. This module can "take over" adjacent channels if configured to, so that only one module is needed for a complete StrichLux system.
Project Status
- 2012-05-01: Renamed from IO-ArtNet to IO-ETH, as I may support ACN or other protocols later.
- 2012-04-24: Started initial planning.
Specs
- Based around the PIC32MX664F128H microcontroller as there is no economical way to do Ethernet on FPGAs for low-cost designs
- This micro has no EEPROM (?!) so will need external I2C EEPROM for storing config data
- Also needs external PHY
- LAN8700C is supported and < $3, seems a good choice
