EasyCAT Arduino shield

Hello,
I have acquired EasyCAT shield for Arduino. It's working pretty well and very customizable.
github.com/zmrdko/3DWorks_EasyCAT
Here is Arduino sketch derived from github.com/AlexmagToast/LinuxCNC_ArduinoConnector

 

cool, this is the cheapest ethercat hardware i know

What ethercat slave controller does it use?

Other interesting device is Mikroe Ethercat Click
www.mikroe.com/ethercat-click

I did not documentation in the bausano site but I assume this is just the LAN9252 shield? Or does it have also an MCU so that you can plug a shield into this board?

I dont know why anyone would design a board with only one LAN? Its not like its a restriction of the chip or anything like that, cost wise makes quite a small difference etc.
I dont see this to be a very useful product.

the EtherCAT Click has two ports, the first picture is somewhat misleading

Aah so the J45 is a stacked one, now it makes more sense.
Thanks for clarifying!

It sure is, looks like a single port connector, while it does explicitly mention the chip has 2 full speed 100M ports with auto negotiation.

same: LAN9252
this is maybe the same thing

just LAN9252 shield - it requires arduino or nucleo to be attached and running certain code
