Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA6348:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Wireless is wonderful, but sometimes you want the strong reliability of a wire. If you want to incorporate an Ethernet port as a great addition to your IoT project, this **Wiz5500** **Ethernet Breakout** will let you add quick and easy wired Internet. Just plug in a standard [Ethernet cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=ethernet+cable), and run the [Ethernet Arduino library](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Ethernet) (or [CircuitPython](https://learn.adafruit.com/ethernet-for-circuitpython/overview)) for cross-platform networking. Ethernet is a tried-and-true networking standard. Every hub and switch supports it, and because there's a physical connection, you don't have to noodle around with SSIDs, passwords, authentication schemes, or antennas. The WIZ5500 chip communicates over SPI plus a single CS pin. The Arduino/CircuitPython support libraries work well, and within a few seconds of connection, it will perform the DHCP setup for you. Adafruit made a nice little breakout board with the Wiz5500, all the support circuitry needed for use with 3V or 5V microcontrollers - all level shifting done for you! As a nice extra, the RJ-45 jack features both link and activity lights that indicate the current connection status through lighting or blinking. With a little bit of soldering and wiring you can connect this to just about any microcontroller. If you want one specifically for use with Feathers, [check out the Ethernet Featherwing](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-ethernet-featherwing.html) Note that this product does not have PoE support, but you can add it by the addition of a PoE splitter. [Adafruit have a version that provides 5V at 2.4 Amp max into a USB connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/poe-splitter-with-usb-type-c-5v-2a-100-mb-ethernet.html). Each order comes with one assembled and tested breakout, plus some header. You will need to solder in the header yourself, but it's a quick task.
