Official ARDUINO Ethernet SHIELD 2

Official ARDUINO Ethernet SHIELD 2

The Official Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 is the ideal solution for connecting your Arduino board to the internet with ease and speed. Designed to integrate seamlessly, this shield simply plugs onto your Arduino board and connects via an RJ45 Ethernet cable (not included).

Powered by the reliable W5500 Ethernet controller with a built-in 32K buffer, it supports fast and stable 10/100Mb connections. Operating at 5V through the Arduino board's supply and using the SPI port for communication, it ensures efficient and reliable networking.

True to Arduino’s open-source philosophy, all aspects of the hardware, software, and documentation are fully available, empowering makers and developers to learn, modify, and innovate freely.

Whether you're building a smart device or an IoT application, the Ethernet Shield 2 offers a robust foundation to bring your project online.

The Shield also incorporates a reset controller, which ensures that the W5500 Ethernet module is properly reset upon power up. Previous Shield iterations were incompatible with the Mega and required a manual reset after power-up. The current Arduino Shield has a Power over Ethernet (PoE) module that extracts power from a standard twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet connection.

• The Shield features a conventional RJ45 Ethernet connection.
• The Shield's reset button resets both the W5500 and the Arduino board.
  
• The shield has a variety of information LEDs:
• ON: shows that the Board and Shield are powered.
• 13 is the Arduino standard built-in LED.
• The Shield flashes ACT when there is RX or TX activity, and LINK when a network link is active and data is transmitted or received.

In this picture below we have tagged the yellow ACT, the green LINK, the 13 Built in LED and the ON LED.

This shield also accommodates Tinkerkit-compatible connectors, as follows:

• TinkerKit connections for two Analog Inputs (white) are connected to A2 and A3.
• Two TinkerKit connectors for two Analog Outputs (orange in the middle) are connected to PWM outputs on pins D5 and D6.
  
• Two TinkerKit connectors for the TWI interface (white with four pins), one for input and the other for output.

Features:

• Operating Voltage: 5V (powered directly from the Arduino board)
  
• Ethernet Controller: W5500 chip with an internal 32KB buffer for reliable data handling
  
• Connection Speed: Supports both 10Mb and 100Mb Ethernet connections
  
• Communication Interface: Connects to Arduino using the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) port

Package Includes:

• 1 x Official ARDUINO Ethernet SHIELD 2
