IBoard
Iboard is a unique Arduino board which features a WIZnet ethernet port, an XBee socket, nRF24L01+ module interface and an ATMega328.
Overview
Iboard is a unique Arduino board which features a WIZnet ethernet port, an XBee socket, nRF24L01+ module interface and an ATMega328. This board will add wireless XBee / nRF24L01+ control as well as internet connectivity to your projects. It’s great for anything from home automation to robot control. The possibilities are endless!
Iboard can be used as an Ethernet, wireless communication project development platform. Iboard support POE (power on Ethernet) power supply, and Micro SD for mass storage. There are some 3pin electronic brick/ sensor brick interface breakout on board, it offer an easy way for a quick prototyping. You can setup a web server through which you may communicate with a remote Arduino using XBee radios, bluetooth or APC modules. This information can be posted to a web site, or to Twitter.
The board requires FTDI basic board to upload sketch, you can use our Foca board to do it. Iboard can be powered by a mini USB , power Jack or POE.
The onboard POE is pseudo POE, because the pin 4, 5, 7, 8 in 100M network cable is not being used. So we only use POE to power Ibaord. If you want to use the network cable to power, you can buy injector here. Or you can use DC7-23V to power.

Software
Iboard is designed for compatible for SD and Wiznet libraries of Arduino, and all demo codes could be downloaded directly here: http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/ethfiles.html
With embedded bootloader, Iboard is easy to use by Arduino IDE through Foca series. ISP of Atmega328 is broke out for download firmware easily.
