Hi For a home automation project, I need to control some devices via an ethernet connection. I could use a raspberry pi, but I am looking for something simpler. In some cases I just need to set or clear a relay. Do anyone know of a very simple board with an ethernet Phy on (possibly with a logic output), that can be used for this? Perhaps something like a W5100 based board. https://...

Hi I am working on a product that connects to an access point via ethernet 100 Base TX I am having some problems with common mode noise on the ethernet cable, and have been trying all sorts of tricks, nothing help as of now So staring at the signals on the cable, there is a lot of traffic even though we just use it for sub kB/s traffic. The reason for the traffic is the MLT-3 encoding, so e...

It seems like nothing is coming close to replacing (or, acting as an alternative) RJ45's for ethernet applications. I've encountered ND9's and M8's/M12's on some kit but primarily industrial applications. Any other alternatives that are in "widespread" use (i.e., an application domain with which I might have to interact so "plan ahead")? For daughtercard connections, I imagine anythin...

Hi I have a problem with a Ethernet PHY that makes too much noise. We are digging into the problem, iterating on the very poor layout done, but the client is looking for a fix right now with now HW changes. The problem comes from the RMII communication to the PHY. Seems a 25MHz clock is feeding the PHY (LAN8742), which then in turn creates a 50MHz clock feeding back to the STM32 MAC. If I...

Suppose one were to send a broadcast packet from a PC to multiple boxes over regular 100 Mbit ethernet, without any fancy time protocols like PTP or anything. Each box would accept the packet as a trigger. Assume a pretty small private network and a reasonable number of switches to fan out to many boxes. Any guess as to how much the effective time trigger to various boxes would skew? I...

Hello, I have to report this incident. I have been experimenting with Denon 1909 A/V receiver for audio to 7 speakers. This receiver has a HDMI input. So I was curious if sound quality would improve.

Has anybody used the MicroZED? It looks like a good subassembly to use on a controller board. The documentation, especially on mechanicals, is spotty. We have an upcoming project that needs a uP, FPGA, Ethernet, DRAM, all that stuff. It's tempting to buy a little board that has all that done and working, running Linux out of the box. -- John Larkin Highland Technology...

I have been looking for some wifi chip(set) to be able to use in our systems and it has turned out it is impossible to get one which is documented in a way we could write our own driver so our tcp/ip stack under dps would treat it as yet another medium, like it does with Ethernet or via PPP and sort of. What I don't get is *why* do they keep things so secret? When wifi was starting there was...

Hi, I have an irregular-shaped (metal) enclosure to which an ethernet connection must be mated. I can afford to run at 10BaseT speeds -- though would REALLY REALLY prefer 100BaseTX (-T2 is not a practical option). Connection must be weather-resistant (sheltered location; not "indoor"). The challenge is coming up with a suitable connection without requiring new castings. There are s...

We are considering sending data over CAT6 twisted-pairs, from one FPGA to another at some 10s of meters distance. It might be prudent to transformer-couple the data, to avoid ground-loop common-mode hazards, and the obvious choice would be to use RJ45 connectors with built-in Ethernet magnetics. These seem to have inductance in the 400 uH range, which gives a low-end frequency response in t...

I have an application that distributes audio among multiple, distant nodes (emitters/speakers) over an ethernet. I control the relative timing (phasing) of the signals from each emitter -- either in synchronism or leading/lagging by specific dynamic amounts (which can be on the order of many ms). To date, I've been measuring this skew in the time domain by emitting a plosive burst whose s...

Looks like a lot of people make a SIP-packaged PoE power module. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Silvertel/Ag9712-2BR?qs=OlC7AqGiEDmgbLGLmzziyA%3D%3D and they look to be approximately drop-in compatible. They get one or two pairs of DC from the ethernet connector and make isolated DC out, from 3.3 to 24 volts in various versions. So it could be a plug-in option for a little box tha...
