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
