Ethernet
There are several different ways to do ethernet. The possibly cheapest involves an pic18f that includes an ethernet PHY. It could be a good idea, or terrible.

- PIC that can run microchip pic stack
- * PIC18F26K80 Board with ENC26J60
- PIC that runs open source stack such as
- * HMMM
- AVR + Wiznet
- * Guteduino
- PIC32 with ethernet PHY
- * PIC32 Ethernet Board
- AVR32 with ethernet PHY
- * AVR 32 Ethernet Board
DMX
The minimum to make a DMX board, is a board that has a UART that can run at 250Kbps. Microchip has some Application notes that specify a method to recieve and transmit DMX data. See PIC DMX Development
Existing Projects
- AC Dimmer Board - supports a 485 UART, and dimming 6 AC loads. Currently the first revision of the board has a few issues. A new revision is in the works.
- USB DMX Board - Wow, this one exists... will post schematics soon
