Comment on 10BASE-T using Raspberry Pi Pico with 2 GPIO pinsparent

Comments

Ahem. CSMA/CD. 10BaseT implies wired connection.

I think I'd rather have such a project report 'early' than wait till it's supporting a web server via those 2 pins...

..because, now, YOU can whip up the Receive end, eh? ;-)

/CD requires receiving while transmitting, which is probably going to get really complicated in software when trying to precisely time GPIO pulses at .1us intervals on a 133Mhz CPU. Probably need to add an external latch + carrier sense circuit to assert a collision signal.

Side note, I do love the Firesign Theater reference, Mr. Tirebiter.
