SPI1 slave Electron to Teensy 3.6 SPI1 master.and Teensy3.2 I2c master for Photon and DIGOLE and a couple of NANOS also hard enet TCP to MEGA2560 Modbus and KINCO TCP client. Next ModbusDMA SPI for the 3.6 and electron…id show the cell phone but i had to take the picture. Im getting close…yippy.

Well its a start…I got my wiznet 820 chips now to put that in place of the 5100 hanrun…I was thinking of using a DTR flag from the Electron as sort of a token request for message transfer. That way the master could send a generic request and the slave could “advise” the master what to ask for…sort of like a token passing scheme. Head tilt optional…maybe not needed?
The project looks interesting but I’ll admit I’m not exactly sure what you are doing. I see a lot of cool components there. Can you explain what’s going on in a bit more detail?
Sure my pleasure…this started because I have a great deal of legacy devices who are on hard TCP. For security reasons and reliability these must remain on hard Ethernet. I have an issue (maybe a disability) in using the SPI port on a photon/Electron with the Ethernet library on a second (desirable Ethernet port because of class conflict in available libraries that use the TCP facility. SO…I got a hard Ethernet port and a whole lot of computing power over in the Teensy. I will keep my mission critical tasks over in the Teensy and just mirror a data table for use by the particle in achieving connectivity via cell phone or wifi. The device gives me autonomy over whether I am actually connected or needing to do anything with the outside world. The use of SPI gives me bidirectional messaging at a high rate of speed. Truth be told I could for right now achieve this with a serial port for the pair. But with the master using the DTR in a context sensitive manner this could be used as a “multi drop” arrangement. What will come later is a small micro LAN of processors using SPI as a bus. With this architecture I get super bus speed. And a demand driven communication request/ response protocol. one thing I would add is a DTR to the SPI slave…right now there may be significant latency in the response from the particle…so I want to have my transaction driven by an interrupt not just chip select…I have a bunch of stuff going on so I only get to this briefly.
The other thing I ge from this is a local boot loader for the Teensy…and FTP for files to get there and get updates to my teensy…I wish I new more but this looks like it will bring together the HM in a nice little coherent platform for remote deployment to a network too.

I guess I will have to get a little bigger touchscreen
with the PI Zero as the HMI…I will put LTC2053 pre-amps on the 10 differential inputs. as an option…
dual 2053 preamp (with reference) BOB that plugs into above. slice the analog traces to the stereo phono jacks to use the preamps
.
Well I am pretty sure I have it ok electrically except using the A2 pin on the electron for SPI1 SS in slave mode…I know in Master this is set as output I use it as the select pin with
…the teensy seems fine…not much out there but…I manage to crash the electron with the slave like this…the electron controls the DTR pin so the teensy wont run it over…the master waits for the slave to be readyany slave can pull the DTR low for a while…for now the Electron is the only slave on the line. I have the Teensy lights showing the DTR (B5) electron and the RTS (SS) A2 lines of the electron assoon as the ELECTRON lets the DTR line go high…the TEENSY pulls the ELECTRON low at A2 chip select and runs a 2MB SPI transfer of 64 bytes…anTeensy just plows along waiting for the electron to reboot. for another killing cycle…dunno.
