RP2040-Shim Board - Compact PoE FeatherWing Compatible With Horizontal USB

About This Product

For electronics enthusiasts and embedded developers working with Power over Ethernet projects, this RP2040-Shim board is a seriously clever solution! It's specifically designed to fit perfectly with PoE-FeatherWing boards, creating an ultra-compact system that saves space around the RJ45 connector and flyback transformer. Powered by the popular RP2040 microcontroller from Raspberry Pi (the same chip used in Raspberry Pi Pico), you get dual ARM Cortex-M0+ cores running at 133 MHz, 264 KB of on-chip SRAM, and 4 MB of QSPI flash memory. The board comes with CircuitPython pre-installed along with Wiznet W5500 drivers, plus a special poe_featherwing.py module that handles Ethernet setup for you. The horizontal USB version positions the micro USB connector in the standard Feather location, making it easy to program and debug. What's really slick is the custom chip that enables single-press reset and double-press bootloader entry - exactly what you'd expect from a quality development board. Whether you're building IoT devices, network-connected sensors, or any project that benefits from Power over Ethernet in a compact form factor, this RP2040-Shim delivers professional-grade performance in a thoughtfully designed package.
