Ethernet Daughterboard?

Send an email to info at duet3d.com with your enquiry.
FYI I now have a couple of samples of the ESP-07S wifi module with external antenna, which I intend to try in the Duet WiFi.

Just sent an email, thanks!
Off topic, but can I ask where you learned so much about ARM development?
I have gone through your code quite a bit, and how you managed to integrate ASF with Eclipse I don't think I'll ever understand. Do you have any books that you would recommend?

@David may I ask what is the actual ESP version you are using on the current Duet Wifi boards?
-
Mine has the ESP8266

Ah. Well the chip is the same exact thing shown here:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/2471And based on what I kind find showing the different versions (and the KiCad schematic on Github) - I believe it is an ESP12.
The schematic says ESP-12E -
It's an ESP-12F on current Duet WiFi boards.

With my current wifi woes, id prefer an ethernet version, although i have confidence the wifi will be solved eventually.
It does lead one to dream of a future duet version where the wifi/ethernet portion is swap-able. Each on a daughter-board that attaches so one can switch at a later date with a nominal cost if their situation and requirements change..
-
For the next generation Duet (Duet N2G) we're looking at the possibility of offering both WiFi and Ethernet on one board.
-
That would be the ideal - Ethernet where there is a fixed installation and Wi-fi elsewhere.
That said, the latest firmware iterations have had a lot more stable connections so looking forwards to the best of both worlds!
