Original author: superhouse (source: https://github.com/SuperHouse/EtherMegaR3) ## Components - **WIZnet W5100** x 1 ([docs](https://docs.wiznet.io/Product/Chip/Ethernet/W5100)) ## Documents and links - [sch](https://github.com/SuperHouse/EtherMegaR3) (code) ## Article ## EtherMega R3 Portions copyright 2011-2013 Freetronics Pty Ltd [www.freetronics.com.au](http://www.freetronics.com.au/) Portions copyright 2017 SuperHouse Automation Pty Ltd [www.superhouse.tv](http://www.superhouse.tv/) The EtherMega R3 is a 100% Arduino-compatible board based on the existing Mega2560, but with improvements and updates for features and ease of use. It also includes on-board Ethernet with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) support. Features: - High-efficiency switchmode power supply (input voltage 7-28Vdc) - Micro-USB Connector - microSD card slot - 10/100 Ethernet using the Wiznet W5100 chip - Overlay guide where you need it (both top and bottom) - D13 pin works for everything You can learn more at: ## INSTALLATION The design is saved as an EAGLE project.
