TCP/IP Stack

This diagram above is a draft of my current TCP/IP Stack showing the hardware MAC at bottom and stack modules on top. At right is RTOS services needed for an TCP/IP Stack. The diagram below is the same using a Wiznet W5500 chip. For now I will be using the Wiznet W5500 and it’s ioLibrary,…

Communication Adapter

You can find Annotated Schematics for the Communication Adapter on the downloads (here). I have so many designs that I need to make proper documentation on them, so these doc’s will be uploaded & updated on regular basis. The doc basically contains info like MCU pin usage and stuff needed to program the devices +…

High Speed RS485

This ADM2582E, is a galvanic issolated RS485/RS422. I picked it because it was my only option for galvanic all-in-one. I was just checking it’s speed and it support 18Mbps and 256 Devices in a network. It cost ca 4.- USD compared to a few cents for MAX3485, and it’s a bit larger that MAX3485. You…

New PLC Bus Layout

I have moved the RSX signals to the outer row so they can be reached with a 2.54 pitch connector. This allows a PLC module to use screw connectors or other 2.54 pitch connectors for stand-alone usage “as is”. An updated 3D model showing possible connectors if the 2×20 pin header is unpopulated. I see…

All In One Home Central

Looking at my Ethernet/GSM module I realise that I with a minor change on the backbone pin-out can just add 2.54 pitch screw terminals and we have a stand-alone home sentral with 5V on the upper screw block and RSX on the lower. 5V here is in reality 4.5 to 12V, so we can just…

Ethernet/GSM Module Update

Finally got the last packages in and added some extras. Still some work to do before this is done thought, but in the process of completing 1st final draft. Due to the complexity of this module I expect 1-3 revisions before we are done. Basically I just want to complete this draft & doc and…

PCM Interface – I2S

PCM Interface is a kind of standard build on the same principles as SPI. The SPI interface can handle the clocked bit-streams, but I2S can also handle the PCM encoding. In simple words I should be able to send/receive voice effortless – just need to get my head around register settings in STM32F405 which is…
