ITEAD IBOARD ATMega328 W5100 Ethernet PoE microSD Xbee

Product detailed description

ITEAD IBOARD ATMega328 W5100 Ethernet PoE microSD Xbee

Arduino similar iBoard v.1.1 by Itead Studio based on ATmega328P microcontroller and equipped with integrated W5100 Ethernet chip, SD card slot, XBee slot and connector for nRF24L01 module. The board has Electronic brick interface contacts, where each of the contacts A0 - A7 is grouped with GND and Vcc contacts.

The board has a DC-DC converter. Power supply is available from an external stabilized 5V or unstable 6-20V power supply. The board also supports PoE (power over Ethernet).

The module is compatible with the Adrduino development environment. Requires a USB TTL converter for IDE programming.

It should be noted that the iBoard has an integrated Ethernet interface and the NRF24L01+ uses an SPI interface. For simultaneous operation of these modules, the slower NRF24 is connected to the "SoftWare SPI" which sits on pins 2,3,5,6,7,8, while the Ethernet is connected to the "HardWare SPI" (pins 9,10,11,12 , 13). If you want to use nRF24L01+, you need to download the libraries iBoardRF a iBoardRFNetwork. These libraries also use digitalWriteFast.

The IBoard v.1.1 can be used as a server that collects data from remote sensors via radio (NRF24L01+, XBee), stores data in files on an SD card and allows remote display of network data stored in files.
