This is nice though I personally wish they used the same Silvertel PoE module as Arduino which you just solder onto the board. Plus their PoE hat has a spinning fan.
- michaelt 9y agoPlus their PoE hat has a spinning fan. Looks like it's directly above the CPU - might just be to compensate for the worse airflow from the obstruction of the extra board?
- undersuit 9y agoFrom pictures it looks like the fan would definitely be needed. The hat is very low clearance to maintain compatibility with the official cases. https://blog.hackster.io/the-new-raspberry-pi-poe-hat-823de8a8f5f https://blog.hackster.io/the-new-raspberry-pi-poe-hat-823de8...
- cordite 9y agoThe video mentioned support for PoE (with a HAT) as a feature. Why would they specifically point out an addon that doesn't come with the board as a feature of the board? PoE HATs already exist apparently, and are quite pricy. But I don't consider Arduino ethernet shields saying arduino comes with ethernet.
