Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to encapsulate an ip network between 2 boards in rs232/485 over 500 meters long
I don't need high throughput. About 100kbs.
I'm looking for a DIY solution. I know that there are rs/ip gateways (moxa, digi,....)
thank you
any particular reason to use an RS485/IP gateway?
RS485 can operate up to 1200metres at fairly high speeds
The same reason like mega2560 or esp32 but 500 meters.
I suppose you could use SLIP which was designed to operate over serial links:
SLIP was succeeded by PPP (Point to Point Protocol).
I read that too on the wikipedia page I linked to. Then I read the bit following that:
On microcontrollers, however, SLIP is still the preferred way of encapsulating IP packets, due to its very small overhead.
Hopefully @oles67 would read the information and decide for themselves which way to go based on their hardware.
