The Ethernet FeatherWing is the fastest way to add wired connectivity to your Argon, Boron, or Xenon and turns any Particle Mesh developer kit into an Ethernet gateway.
Ethernet is now ubiquitous with embedded systems. Before you can get your set-top box on the internet, you’ll need one of these single port, RJ45 ethernet jacks with built in transformer (magnetics), status LEDs, and shielding.
Wireless is wonderful, but sometimes you want the strong reliability of a wire. If your Feather board is going to be part of a permanent installation, this Ethernet...

More than just a robot! The Edison robot is a powerful, engaging tool for teaching kids STEM, computational thinking and computer programming in a hands-on way.
Robotics and industrial automation are everywhere these days. Robots help build, package, and ship everything from your breakfast cereal to your car. With that in mind, we designed the ScoutMakes Robot kit to help those with an interest in robotics learn the basics. With it, you will create a simple, wheeled robot while developing a familiarity with concepts like mechanical assembly and motor control. This kit also includes a piezoelectric buzzer and NeoPixels that allow your robot to play sounds and glow while it’s moving around.
This handy Ethernet extension cable will make it easy for you to enclose a device that has an Ethernet port. We think this would be most useful when putting a Beagle...
This Arduino-sized Ethernet Shield is based on the Wiznet W5200 Ethernet Chip, and provides an easy way of getting your Arduino Online. Fits all version of arduino Main board,e.g.UNO, mega 2560. To start, just plug this module onto your Arduino board, connect it to your network with an CAT 5 Ethernet Cable (not included) and follow a few simple instructions, you will be able to explore the world with internet. The pin layout also allows another shield to be stacked on top. An aluminum alloy radiator is placed onto W5200 chip to release excessive heat.
