# BLE to Ethernet ! Pico W + W5100S + PoE

> .

Original author: Alan

## Components

- **Raspberry Pi Pico W** x 1 ([docs](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/raspberry-pi-pico.html))
- **WIZnet W5100S** x 1 ([docs](https://docs.wiznet.io/Product/Chip/Ethernet/W5100S))

## Article

Few days ago Raspberry Pi released new SDK that added missing feature to Pico W - Bluetooth support. For more information please refer to [this RPi blog post](https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/new-functionality-bluetooth-for-pico-w/).

[In fact, this article was made after Victor, a Wiznet employee.](https://maker.wiznet.io/viktor/projects/ble-to-ethernet-central/?page=2&serob=4&serterm=month) I also wanted to have a BLE to Ethernet Gateway, and I just read the post and found out that I updated PicoW on Raspberry Pi.

Progress

I just connected the PicoW to the PoE board I had. The Pico WBLE does not consume much power. So this is possible.

I used the firmware that Victor made.

The LED is blinking. These are LINK and ACT LEDs. I configured it to keep giving data with BLE, and the ACT LED keeps blinking, so it seems to be working normally.

Complete!

It works very, very simple than you think. I can now get BLE data on Ethernet too!

For more information, see Victor Project for code!

And I updated it like this. It works really well even if you make it with a very compact board!
