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.

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
