Remora - Rpi Software Stepping Using External Microcontroller via SPI

Many thanks
Great work

Hi kzali,

I've sent a message by what I may think is your github handle from a msg you left on the linuxcnc-RIO project.

but i think remora also supports W5500 modules (or similar) via SPI !?!?!

Yeah kinda, it will at least, soon

Just thinking out loud, wouldn't having the ethernet-spi bridge take the a lot of load off the Remora MCU and reduce the MCU code base ? I'd imagine once the WT32-ETH01 was sorted it would be good for SPI on a variety of boards ?

The MCU I presume is pretty agnostic as the source of the SPI signals as long as they are correct ? Would that open up Ethernet connectivity to more remora boards and allow any platform Rpi\Orange Pi\ x86\64 to work as well.

Just thinking out loud.

Maybe a little less code, but I can't say whether it's faster.
and you have to flash 2 boards and the FTP/flexi stuff will not work

Would Remora work with this ?
