They're still AVAILABLE but I wouldn't say they're used any more than to just limp old dying stuff along far enough they make it to the river

 

Just the way master/slave likes it

 

I'm honestly pushing to put serial on the next version of one of our products. Ethernet is a pain in the dick when you don't have the ip address and your only way to log in is to drag a freaking monitor and keyboard out to BFE with you.


That said, it'll be USB serial - because the port is smaller

 

I wholeheartedly agree with this. For industrial stuff serial is such much nicer and I'd rather use that every day of the week



But alot of the big sights that have numerous cells talking to one another, they need the speed ethernet can provide

Plus what @Blue92 said about the distance thing makes it a challenges

 

Weird..... But I like it

 

@Abeyancer were you looking for manual hub axles?

 

Yeah, absolutely. Serial for configuration, ethernet for production is the only sane way to do it nowadays.


A previous company I worked at had a legacy product that used i2c extenders to connect various parts of the product. It was so janky. Had I not quit, I was going to make it PoE.

 

I knew what you meant bud lol

 

I was but not anymore. Decided to just install the manual tube and leave the ADD hubs

 

@eon_blue buy this for the wife. It helps for those bad shits you get that can peel the paint off.

 

I didn't realize Mrs blue was blowing up the bathroom

 

Oof... i2c is homeowner grade stuff I thought?

Never personally installed anything requiring PoE, I deal strictly ethernet switch installs for all my customer panels. And I got to use a special HDMI for a 27" touchscreen on 72x72 panel I built for a recycling plant. That one was cool, 14VFDs with 14 Arc reactors, all fuse protected

 

Ok cool if change your mind A friend of mine is selling a full manual hub conversion for a prerunner.

 

We have something like that but a different brand, it's called Poo-Pourri lol. You put two drops in the toilet before you drop the kids off

 

Dangit



I just bought a set of ADD spindles to rebuild ... as much as I want to, even I can't buy another set. The wife is starting to realize how much money I'm putting into this truck

 

Lol work stocks our loo with poo-pourri as well

 

i2c == inter-integrated circuit. AKA, its supposed to be between chips on the same board - not running 50ft over a twisted pair cable. The product would randomly lock up and they could never pin down why.

Yeah I wouldn't expect my PoE in that kind of thing, sounds like everything has power pretty conveniently already.

Sounds like a heck of a panel!
