Reach USB to RJ45 - any suggestion for solution

[tyumak]

Hello,

I ordered a couple of micro usb to rj45 adapters, None of them has worked.

I have to connect my rtk to ROS.

Thank you

Micro USB to RJ45? That doesn’t sound right.

How about:

1. Micro USB to normal USB / OTG adapter
2. then a normal USB to RJ45 adapter

This setup has worked for me with Reach RS. It should work with Reach as well, but you would need to supply 5V power to Reach through the DF13 connector.

2- Ugreen USB 2.0 OTG to Rj45 Ethernet LAN Network Adapter for Nintendo Switch Wii for sale online | eBay

they did not work.

Can you please share your two working items’s online website?
Did you use external 5v power?

I plugged power to 3dr radio ( with micro usb port), it is connected by DF13 to rtk. If possible can you send your connection’s picture

Thank you

OK, those are OTG devices. They look very suitable for the task. Maybe the driver is just missing. If you plug each into a Linux box and paste the output of /var/log/syslog (or similar), then Emlid could possibly add the driver in the next kernel release

I have two USB to RJ45 adapters here and I have just tested them for you on my Reach RS: WORKING D-Link; model DUB-E100; USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet Adapter (10/100Mbps) linux driver: asix idVendor=2001, idProduct=1a02 NOT WORKING no name brand; model WS-NWU220G REV. B; USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter (10/100/1000Mbps) external package label: AddonComputer.com; model: USB2NIC linux driver: smsc75xx idVendor=0424, idProduct=7500 Based on that limited test, I would not purchase a Gigab…

Yes, probably it is missing driver issue. I do not have much time. If you know a product is working, i can order it immediately.

After this issue, i have to look at how i can publish nmea data to ROS with this rtk.

Thank you for your support. As you feel, i am very new to rtk and linux environment.

Well, as I said in my link above, this one worked for me:
D-Link; model DUB-E100; USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet Adapter (10/100Mbps)

and this is probably where I purchased it:

I just plugged in the USB-OTG cable that came with Reach and attached the DUB-E100 and an RJ45 cable and it just worked. In my case I had a Reach RS, so it had internal battery. You say that you are supplying Reach with DF13 power via the 3DR radio, so that should be good too.

@bide

Reach RS

I ordered the same one, it is on the way.

How i can communicate between Reach and ROS? i searched the key words, nothing.
