Project description
The device's core is built around the Black Pill development board, based on the STM32F401CCU6 microcontroller, and the WizNet WW5500 Ethernet module. It is powered by an LM2576 DC-DC converter, allowing a wide range of input voltages. The device features two power inputs, INPUT1 and INPUT2, catering to different voltage requirements (12V or 24V) for controlling external circuits through output terminals A1-A16.
Power Amplifier Control
This Ethernet control board operates similarly to its predecessor, which only supported a USB interface. The connections within the amplifier control console remain unchanged, with specific outputs (A1-A16) designated for various functions like fan control, standby, and power on/off.
Control Software
The author has expanded the control software's capabilities, making it cross-platform compatible, thus supporting Linux OS and single-board computers like Orange Pi and Raspberry Pi. The software, written in Python using PyQt5 and QT Designer, is available in both USB and Ethernet versions. The Ethernet version, in particular, is detailed in the article, explaining the setup process, including IP address configuration and software operation.
