Ethernet Arduino

QR code

Discussions on the list highlighted great interest and demand for cheap Ethernet enabled Arduino compatible boards. A plan was hatched to produce a number of these boards for members and possibly for sale. Increased volumes would result in lower unit cost.

Meurig is currently constructing some similar boards using plans from Instructables and is therefore likely to be a good source of information. These boards are being etched at the space and are of 'through hole' type.

Board specification

  • Based on this Instructables project.
  • Surface mount to reduce size
    • PCBs supplied by a 3rd party
  • Arduino compatible
  • atmega328 32pin quad package

Rough plan

  • Agree on specification
  • Breadboard prototype
  • Design board
  • Build a prototype board
  • ...
  • Profit!

Bill of materials
