Working on new Arduino shield ...

A project log for DIY programmable (SCPI) bench power supply

Bridging the gap between professional and DIY/hobbyist bench power supply

The new Arduino shield is also now assembled. The main difference is moving from to W5500 Ethernet controller. The RJ-45 socket is now moved to the new AUX PS board that has to be mounted on the rear panel.

For W5500 control adafruit Ethernet2 library is used (I think that is in its core WIZ_Ethernet_Library-IDE1.6.x with few modifications such as selectable Chip select pin). Two examples that can be used to test W5500 can be found in Files area.

I also came into completely new issue. A TFT display that I ordered from the same supplier as last time send me in appearance a completely same item but with different LCD controller! Instead of SSD1289 that is supported in UTFT the new one comes with ILI9341. Actually there is one difference in appearance - it's _9341 added to the model name.

Now, I have to wait for another SSD1289 based display or try to add support for this ILI9341 controller. Anyway a nice way how to add more delay in development.
