Serial and CAN to Ethernet Conversion for Ardupilot
DroneNet is a universal protocol to ethernet networking device, which incorporates a 5 port 10/100M ethernet switch along with a CAN, USART, RS485, and GPIO/PWM.
This is designed to provide a seamless way to convert between typical Drone protocols and an ethernet network, in a single board.
At present, many of the features on DroneNet are unimplemented. Currently it only implements Serial and CAN conversion to Ethernet, allowing for telemetry networks to be expanded to ethernet using CubePilot hardware.
