IBoard Arduino ATMega328 Board With WIZnet POE Ethernet Port For Home Automation Robot Control

Product Review (submitted on November 7, 2013):

The quality of this board is pretty good. This board is fully compatible with the arduino Ethernet library. I use the Foca board to upload sketches without any problem (as a Diecimila board in Arduino IDE).

Some details on the PoE functionality: It is not 802.3af compliant. The power is delivered on the 4-5 (+) and 7-8 (-) pairs (as 802.3af mode B). The input voltage range on these pairs is the same as for the external power supply : 6-24v and not 48v as requested for 802.3af. I use a passive PoE injector like this one https://linitx.com/product/16-port-passive-poe-injector-rackmount-panel-2555mm-dc-socket/13546 and a 6V power supply to inject power on 6 IBoards.
