Victory! EtherNet/LocoNet Bridge!

Yes it works great!
Today we tested it and it was a pleasure to see it working! :-)

I got the prototype for testing with my Plan-F Layout to get proof of concept.
I only have left one small week before holidays, but I will try to test it asap.
Keep tuned.

LocoNet Ethernet: MGV101

Tomorrow, July the 10th, I will meet Peter and Robert who developed the MGV101; The bridge between Ethernet and Loconet.
The meeting will be in the MGV Club house at 12:00. (Just drop by if you want to see it work.)

The MGV101 was developed to get rid of the USB converters, and to try a different approach to communicate with the Command Station and all other Loconet devices.

Some technical details: The communication uses the Multicasting protocol which makes it possible to sniff the traffic with more than one computer.

As far as I know this project is unique and has no competitors.
