Remora sk1.4 with ethernet?

I have a skr1.4 turbo board. Would like to use ethernet to connect it to a pc instead of using a Raspberry Pi. Did see the demo of it working. Searched through the threads here and couldn't find how to wire and configure it.

I looked through that thread before I posted. Couldn't find anything on how it was wired.

Docs on github linked on that topic, at the very start of it

I searched through the documentation before starting this thread. That only shows how to wire it to a raspberry pi.

As I said at the beginning I do not want to use a raspberry pi. I want to use a w5500 ethernet board. Then connect with a pc. Like shown in the demo video.

The same pins used on RPI are on the W5500, those are the SPI pins so the wiring is the same.
Just check the pin naming.

Thanks that clears up most of it. On the 1.4 board there's pin p1.31. What would that connect to on the w5500 board? In the video there's a power supply going to the w5500 board. Does it need 5v, 3.3v, or both? The documentation shows that it's possible to power a raspberry pi with the 1.4 board. Is it possible to do the same with the w5500 board? Looks like there's 5v there.

The SKR1.4 is not actively supported and the ethernet demo was an early concept testing. Please check this link for ethernet supported boards.

Trying to repower some machines. Want to use a control board with integrated stepper drivers, so it will fit inside the machine. That rules out using the Remora compatible ethernet boards.

There isn't a whole lot of room. Not sure yet if there is room to fit a skr and raspberry pi. Having the raspberry pi inside the machine isn't ideal. Would need a separate pc to use for remote desk toping to it.

Was planning on using an Intel NUC. That's much more powerful than a raspberry pi. Also has a proper enclosure.

Guess if I had to I could mount the raspberry pi on the back of the monitor like I was going to do with the NUC. Then run the spi wires to the machine. Going to need a bulkhead connector anyways. Wouldn't really matter if it's ethernet or a 6 pin connector.

With another machine I used a Genmitsu usb Mach 3 board. It's a compact controller like what I'm looking for. Unfortunately that has been discontinued, so I'm looking for an alternative.

The other option is to use the skr as is, or similar grbl board. The ones for routers are much smaller. Tried Universal Gcode Sender a few years ago and didn't really like it. It worked, but is very limited compared to Linuxcnc or Mach 3.
