Supported topologies
- UDP Multicasting
- Point to Point RS232 (Control-Software / CS )
Hardware
New hardware development, or extending existing, could embed an ethernet controller like the ENC28J60-SP. It is cheep and does feature enough basics for multicasting networks.
Library
| Linux | Windows |
|---|---|
rocnet.so | rocnet.dll |
Connection types
| name | type |
|---|---|
| udp | multicast |
| serial | RS232 |
First Goal
Implement a UDP stub which can use the DDX library:
The stub and the DDX can be installed on some old Windows or Linux computer, and will act like a real command station.
If a small OS is chosen, Windows 95 or a small 2.6 Kernel based Linux like "Damn Small Linux Not (DSL-N)", the HD could be replaced with a small SSD to reduce power consumption and noise.
Setup
Multicast Address
