Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

I'll keep watch of this.

If I can find one at the right price I'll grab one.

I was pretty happy with the price on Aliexpress. Got the 6 axes NVEM with the NVMPG for just under $200 AUD delivered with taxes etc.

The MPG with TFT display will be another project... need to reverse engineer the serial comms protocol and build that as a Remora module.

This mornings effort. Getting ethernet up and running. First step to check the PHY connections.

 

Configured the LwIP in STM32CubeIDE with a static IP address. The PHY address is important! I tried an address of 0 initially as per some online info, but no go. With the default address of 1, I was successfully able to ping the controller board! That was easier than I thought

 

I'm contemplating doing this version of Remora in STM32CubeIDE rather than Mbed Studio as this will be specific to the NVEM board with the STM32F207.

Thoughts?

The LinuxCNC Remora-eth component talks to the controller board via ethernet UDP. A simple UDP server was setup to test. The NVEM board is successfully replying to UDP packets.
