splash out on a completely experimental PCB in the way of functions or interfaces? (yes i have to look up POE, see if i can fit it on somewhere).
So, the option I've seen taken in many projects is the use of Silvertel's ready made PoE modules.
ah. awesome.
PoE seems to be a popular request, but is not cost effective for mass production. Currently the Arduino Ethernet addresses this by designing the board to forward up-gradable with one of these modules. This can also make sense from manufacturing and sales, use the same main PCB, but just pre-fit a smaller run of the boards with the module.
ok. that's a huge help - not least because they'll have schematics available.
thanks scott. i'll put that in.
