Communicating with ethernet to serial LED sign - is this feasible?
I have a london-electronics LED sign I picked up on eBay which I would like to display custom messages on programmatically. It is working ok.
Opening it up, it has an ethernet to serial connection currently plugged in and a serial connection currently unplugged internally (same connectors). Ideally, I would like to communicate with it over ethernet to save plugging a computer into it directly.
The manufacturer kindly provided me with some links detailing serial communication with the LED sign.
Is it feasible to communicate with it over ethernet without using their windows software? If so, how can I send serial commands over ethernet?
