Copperhead

Hi Thorsten, Your concerns and requests are 100% valid and understood. The Copperduino intent is for quick validation in various contexts without using a soldering iron :rolleyes: In addition to the Copperduino, we now have exactly what you are asking: This board presents the CopperLan/Ethernet circuit found on the Copperduino. It is only recently available and still needs to be documented on the web site. We also need to decide on the pricing, but it will definitely be cheaper than the Copperduino. The communication between the CopperLan dedicated MCU and it's client processor is done through a simple UART link. The Baud rate is jumper defined among 15 values up to 20MBaud. There is an on-board voltage regulator. Hardware implementation details are available here. (needs registration to access) To put in your LPC17, we provide the client code in ANSI C. This is the code you compile together with your application code. This code is offering access to the full CopperLan API through RPC (remote process control). All the code examples from the Copperduino web site can be used as starting points to understand how things work and copy/paste in the LPC17 environment. I'll be pleased assisting you in your discovery and integration with your system. Eric

Hi all, Yes, it took a while, but we now have set up a model for non-commercial hardware (freeware model was already in place). There is no licence cost for non-commercial projects. We have a reference design that is free to copy or modify. (Copperduino) There are example applications from which you can build up yours. We have to start somewhere, so this is our first shot. Bring your comments and we'll move forward with you. Thank you, Eric
