Heh, We told Digikey the Avnet price and they came down to ~10.00... For a parallel port replacement Ethernet, maybe a thing to consider is just a single point to point link to the (multi axis) endpoint and some very simple master slave protocol. The slave would get a packet, unpack to hardware registers, and echo a new packet or return data. I've been thinking of doing this with a low cost FPGA card like the 7I43. Just replace the USB interface with a LM3S8933 or something (Nice because it has a built in PHY and IEEE 1588 (no speed demon though)) > > - Steve > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
