M5Stack ATOMIC PoE Base W5500OpenELAB

Introduction

Atomic PoE Base is an Ethernet controller base specifically designed for the ATOM series main controller. It is equipped with an Ethernet (PoE) module, allowing it to receive power directly from a PoE hub or switch. This eliminates the need for a separate power supply, reducing infrastructure costs and simplifying setup.

The base features the embedded W5500 Ethernet controller, which integrates the TCP/IP protocol stack. This controller provides 8 independent hardware sockets, allowing for simultaneous communication with multiple devices or services. The Ethernet data link layer (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) support 10/100M Ethernet, ensuring reliable and fast network connectivity.

With its capabilities, Atomic PoE Base offers a convenient internet connectivity solution for embedded systems. It meets the wired network access requirements in practical production environments, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

FAQ

What applications can the ATOMIC PoE Base be used for?

The ATOMIC PoE Base is ideal for IoT applications, smart home systems, industrial automation, and any project requiring stable Ethernet connectivity and centralized power management.

How do I connect the ATOMIC PoE Base to my M5Stack core?

Use the M-Bus interface to connect the ATOMIC PoE Base to the M5Stack core.

Can I use the ATOMIC PoE Base with a non-PoE Ethernet connection?

Yes, but you will need to supply power to the M5Stack core separately since PoE will not be available.

What is the data transfer rate supported by the ATOMIC PoE Base?

The ATOMIC PoE Base supports 10/100 Mbps data transfer rates.

How do I install the necessary libraries?

Use the Arduino Library Manager to install the Ethernet2 library or other compatible Ethernet libraries for your project.
