These days, even really cheap microcontroller boards have options that will give you ethernet or wifi access. But what if you have an original Raspberry Pi Pico board and you …read more Continue reading Bit-Banging Bidirectional Ethernet on a Pi Pico
The war on Internet ads rages on, as the arms race between ad blockers and ad creators continues to escalate. To make a modern Internet experience even remotely palatable, plenty …read more Continue reading Pie Stop For Emergency DNS Needs
When it comes to networking these days, the vast majority of our devices are connected wirelessly. Beyond that, we’re all familiar with the Cat 5 and Cat 6 cables that …read more Continue reading MoCA Networking Is A Niche Solution For Coax Lovers
At its core, the Internet is really just a bunch of computers networked together. There’s no reason that there can’t be other separate networks of computers, or that we all …read more Continue reading Building A Local Network with LoRaWAN
We were impressed with [moononournation’s] tiny thin client project. It claims to use an Arduino, but as you might guess it is using the Arduino software along with a network-enabled …read more Continue reading Tiny Thin Client is Small But Compatible
Imagine the Internet had begun its life as a proprietary network from a major software vendor rather than evolved as a distributed network shared by researchers. It’s a future that …read more Continue reading “The Era Of Distributed, Independent Email Servers Is Over”
A few days ago we covered a project that brought Ethernet connectivity to the Raspberry Pi Pico using little more than some twisted pair and a RJ-45 connector. It was …read more Continue reading An Elegant Ethernet Library For Your Next RP2040 Project
Whilst the Raspberry Pi RP2040 is quite a capable little chip, on the whole it’s nothing really special compared to the big brand offerings. But, the PIO peripheral is a …read more Continue reading Bit-Banged Ethernet On The Raspberry Pi Pico
There’s a dreaded disease that’s plagued Internet Service Providers for years. OK, there’s probably several diseases, but today we’re talking about bufferbloat. What it is, how to test for it, …read more Continue reading Bufferbloat, the Internet, and How to Fix It
[Matt Keeter], like many of us, has a lot of network-connected devices and an oscilloscope. He decided he wanted to look into what was on the network. While most of us …read more Continue reading What’s That Scope Trace Saying? UPD and Wireshark
