Hi all,

Has anyone try do somthing like this?

+For windows can write virtual USB-Host with network connection to spider ethernet shield.

2

This idea is just extension USB host over ethernet…

3

What is the purpose? Are you trying to access files? use a mouse?

4

Purpose is extend my 3d printer to another room =)
model: Wanhao Duplicator 4X DH
can be connected only via USB 8(

5

I think use next scheme

  1. PC:Ethernet -> Switch -> PowerLine adapter
  2. PowerLine adapter -> Spider:Ethernet - Spider:UsbHost -> 3DPrinter

For move my printer to another room

6

I think that might work. Whats your progress on it?

If you make this work (and I don’t see why it shouldn’t, unless there is serial obstacles meeting the speed requirements) it would be really cool and useful!

I’ll try just yet looking ready-made options , free time is not very much :wall:
