Feedback Desired on Kit for Experimenting with Single Pair Ethernet

rscasny

Another program we have begun to plan for is Experimenting with Single Pair Ethernet (SPE).

SPE has not been widely used yet, so offering this program is a way to have element14 members experiment with it.

In developing this program, the first step is developing the kit. SPE has some specialized components. So, we wanted to offer some core components that may not yet be in everyone's shop of tool box. 

So, I inserted a poll below to have members vote on their ideal kit for this challenge. 

If you have the time, I encourage you to vote. I welcome your feedback. You can also make a comment below.

SPE Poll

From the list below, select your ideal kit for the SPE Challenge.

  • SME is a tricky one. I think at least it would need to be a sensor and something to read it. SPE connectors might be more useful that pre-made SPE cables (although they might be handy) because it would be nice to test how well things perform over longish distances of cheap and perhaps sub-optimal cabling.

    I assume flavour-wise it woud be 10BASE-T1L (rather than T1S). I may have got mixed up a bit, but I believe this is only point-to-point so wouldn't work with a switch. I'm happy to be corrected on this, as my knowledge of SPE is only theoretical. I found that there was nothing to connect to my only SPE device - the BeaglePlay - so never had the chance to explore.

    The ability to experiment with PoDL 9Power over Data Lines) would be good too.

    Maybe if there was a list of potential components, we could work out a suitable kit that would work well together.

    That's my next step. I wanted to get a sense of what folks might like to see in a kit. There seems to be interest in power and ethernet, so I'll have to address that. I'll post the lost of the components and have everyone go at it.
