Simplest hardware node
I'm looking for the simplest possible hardare implementation that I can connect via cat5 ethernet cable to my router that my router will recognize as a node on the network, and be willing to send it data, even if that data is simply dropped on the floor, so to speak.
Is it possible to just use a power supply and ground to set certain pins on the cable a constant high or low?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
