Hi, I’m interested in your DroneNet for Ardupilot board. Do you have a spec sheet for it?
Can it take multiple rs232 signals and then udp multicast and unicast them out?
Or can I use 2 boards to convert the serial to Ethernet and then convert the signals back to serial at the other end ?
Thank you
Paul
Hi Paul,
At the moment, we have very little documentation on this board, it’s quite early on in development.
Can it take multiple rs232 signals and then udp multicast and unicast them out?
It doesn’t have an RS232 port, so the answer here is no.
Or can I use 2 boards to convert the serial to Ethernet and then convert the signals back to serial at the other end ?
In theory yes, but then you’d be better off just using a serial to ethernet converter for that. DroneNet is designed for when you have multiple serial and ethernet devices all in a network.
As this thing develops we’ll release more information, we’re just not in a position to do that until the hardware is verified and the firmware/software is complete. @Andrew_Tridgell is working on the firmware/software integration with Ardupilot, and we’ll likely augment that effort with any additional customer requests.
