Based on the WIZnet W5100 chip, it handles TCP\/IP, UDP, and HTTP protocols, making it ideal for IoT data loggers, home automation, and web-controlled devices. The integrated micro SD slot gives you onboard storage without extra wiring, perfect for logging sensor readings or serving web files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChipset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWIZnet W5100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\/100 Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSPI (pins 10, 11, 12, 13)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V (from Arduino)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSD Card Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicro SD up to 32GB (SDHC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoard Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69mm x 53.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-indoor-weather-station\"\u003eWeb-connected weather station that uploads temperature and humidity data\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-sd-card-data-logger\"\u003eStandalone data logger that writes sensor readings to the micro SD card\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHome automation controller to switch lights or fans via a web interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArduino-based web server hosting simple HTML pages or APIs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shield stacks directly on Arduino Uno, Mega 2560, and Duemilanove boards. It uses the standard SPI pins (D10–D13), with pin 4 assigned to the SD card’s chip select. Both the W5100 and SD slot run at 5V logic, so no level shifting is needed for typical Arduino boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply align the header pins and press the shield onto your Arduino. The W5100 occupies SPI SS on pin 10, while the SD card uses pin 4. Avoid using those GPIOs in your sketch unless you reconfigure the chip select. Current draw is around 180 mA, so an external power supply is recommended if your setup includes multiple peripherals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino Mega 2560?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the shield fits Mega boards directly and uses the same SPI pins (50–53) through the ICSP header, so libraries work without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use the Ethernet port and micro SD card at the same time?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, both share the SPI bus but have separate chip selects (pin 10 for Ethernet, pin 4 for SD). Just initialize the Ethernet and SD libraries in sequence, and you can log data to the card while serving web pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich libraries do I need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the standard Arduino Ethernet library (built-in) for the W5100 and the SD library (also built-in) for the micro SD card.
