Nice, I have a Mikroe EtherCAT Click board (also LAN9252 based) I picked up on Rod's recommendation. I need to get back to working with it, should be a good way to add SPI sensors and I/O to LinuxCNC running EtherCAT.
Well I didnt think to go that far but considered using two ethernet modules with breakout board. Only advantage beside linking ethercat really has is galvanic isolation which is provided by ethernet it self. Each pin has isolation coils. Or I am missing something more about it? I did not get any ti try brcause of price and was thinking I can accompish something by using modules.
Does ethercat support ordinary network switch to split multiple devices?. On redit someone spoke unceranly about it while it seems uses same network layers. I see those modules and devices have 2 ports for linking. But if switch could be used then single port and many MCU that has PHY could be used even at different speeds.
I'm trying to learn as much as I can about EtherCAT, so the videos are most welcome!
That is super cool
very greate! thanks alot

So really they have a special chip for ethercat? Wow...
Do you plan to program the microcontroller? These black boards are OK for start, but STM32 has no pins broken out to do anything useful
