Ethernet to USB converter, not USB to Ethernet
Hi group,
I'm looking for a device that I can use to send packets over the Ethernet to a USB device. The opposite of a USB to Ethernet converter. I'm looking at the Aurdino board but would like something smaller, simpler. Any ideas? |
Something like a network printer server maybe?

Hi
May I suggest that you have a chat to the guys at www.microgram.com.au I am *NOT* making a plug for this organisation. This company stock some unusual items, and they may be able to either supply a product, or point you to a manufacturer that might have what you need. |

Thanks for the pointer. |
And what is this USB device you are trying to send packets to?
The only thing that comes to mind is a USB device/printer server. None of these are going to be small. If you are trying to connect printers etc your device must be a USB host controller. The Aurdino boards from what I remember are just USB devices. Some quick googling did not find anything useful. |

Only problem is that it is serial and not USB.:cry: |
Not sure if this will get you there:

This looks like software only?? Too expensive $287. It must be something less than $40 each. I need to connect sensors/monitors over a wide area. Thanks for the posts. |
All most there

You might want to look at the link I posted again. It uses standard Cat5 Ethernet cable to run USB and not RS232. Quote:

Yes, you are right.
