  • No drivers required to get Ethernet working
  • USB is faster to get working depending on your network hacking skills
  • USB software stacks in test equipment are kinda hit or miss

    • How to make hardware work with Ethernet?

    • Still learning about this
    • Trying out Arduino -> Ethernet shields that use the Wiznet W5100
    • Managed to get a demo working with SCPI and the shield

      • Looks like a great alternative to normal tag connect

        • Bias test connector - OTC (one time connect)

        • PEM smtsss-4mm-6et solderable spring standoffs
        • Use in conjunction with through hole pogo pins
