It is compatible with Mega 1280 and 2560 models and features a Micro SD card slot for convenient data storage and retrieval. This shield is fully compatible with the official Arduino Ethernet Shield and its library, offering the same functionality at a more accessible price point. It utilizes the Wiznet W5100 Ethernet chip, which supports both TCP and UDP protocols and allows for up to four simultaneous socket connections. Users can easily integrate internet connectivity into their Arduino projects by writing sketches that utilize the Ethernet library. The shield connects to an Arduino board via long wire-wrap headers, preserving the pin layout for stacking additional shields. Digital pins 10, 11, 12, and 13 (SPI) are used by the Arduino to communicate with the W5100 chip, and these pins cannot be used for other I/O functions. The shield includes a standard RJ45 Ethernet jack and a reset button that resets both the W5100 chip and the Arduino board.
