The Ethernet Shield W5100 Expansion Board is a reliable and convenient way to add Ethernet connectivity to your Arduino-based applications. Designed for seamless integration, this shield is fully compatible with Arduino UNO, Mega2560, Leonardo, and other standard development boards, enabling your microcontroller to communicate with the internet through a standard RJ45 Ethernet interface.
Powered by the Wiznet W5100 chip, the shield supports multiple network protocols including TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv4, and ARP, ensuring flexible and stable internet connectivity. It uses the SPI interface to communicate with the host board, making programming and networking smooth through the Ethernet library in the Arduino IDE.
An added bonus is the built-in microSD card slot, which lets you store logs or serve web content directly from the Arduino—perfect for remote data logging and server applications. With stackable headers it allows easy expansion with other shields, giving makers and engineers the flexibility to build complex systems.
Whether you’re working on IoT projects, home automation, industrial monitoring, or web-controlled systems, this Ethernet Shield is a powerful tool to bridge your devices to the internet.
