Arduino Ethernet Shield 2

A000024 - Arduino Ethernet Shield 2

The Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 connects your Arduino to the Internet in just a few minutes. Simply plug this module onto your Arduino board, connect it to your network with an RJ45 cable (not included), and follow a few simple steps to control your world over the Internet. As always with Arduino, every element of the platform - hardware, software, and documentation - is freely available and open-source. This means you can learn exactly how it is made and use the design as a starting point for your own circuits. Hundreds of thousands of Arduino boards are already fueling the creativity of people around the world every day. Join in now, Arduino is you!

Operating voltage: 5 V (supplied by the Arduino board)
Ethernet control: W5500 with internal 32K buffer
Connection speed: 10/100 Mb
Connection to Arduino via SPI port

The Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 allows an Arduino board to connect to the Internet. It is based on the Wiznet W5500 Ethernet chip. The Wiznet W5500 provides a network (IP) stack that supports both TCP and UDP. It supports up to eight simultaneous socket connections. Use the Ethernet library to write sketches that connect to the Internet via the shield. The Ethernet Shield 2 is connected to an Arduino board by passing long wire-wrap headers through the shield. This keeps the pin layout intact and allows another shield to be stacked on top.

The latest revision of the board shows the 1.0 pin layout on Rev. 3 of the Arduino UNO boards.

The Ethernet Shield 2 features a standard RJ-45 connector with an integrated line transformer and enabled Power over Ethernet.

There is an integrated micro-SD card slot for storing files.
