The adapter PCB for W5500 has arrived. If you want to give it a try, please submit a support ticket at:
support.opensprinkler.com
and let me know your shipping address so we can send you one. Please note that:
1) This is just an adapter, it does NOT include W5500 module itself, which you can buy on Amazon such as here: https://www.amazon.com/ARCELI-Ethernet-Network-Hardware-Microcontroller/dp/B07JLFN3T1 or eBay, or any of your favorite online store. The module has a 2×5 pin header.
2) There is no 3D printed enclosure for it yet (though I am in the process of designing it).
3) This would only work on OS 3.2 with wired Ethernet module cable. It won’t work on OS 2.3 because OS 2.3 has ENC28J60 built-in so it’s not a replaceable module.
4) Using W5500 requires uploading a different firmware (which I will make available shortly). While the firmware source code is almost identical to the current firmware, it does use a different library (Ethernet2 instead of UIPEthernet), at the moment there is no easy way to link both of them to the compiled code to do dynamic switching. As a result, using W5500 requires uploading firmware that’s compiled specifically for it.

Attached is a picture of what it looks like with the adapter.

We are currently away till Monday July 21. Orders placed during this time will be shipped on Tuesday July 22. Thank you for your understanding!
