CHIP Pro - Hackdot

I wish there was something ESP8266 like with Ethernet, ideally even with PoE. WiFi is ok, but since I need a cable for power anyways it could carry the data just as well...

(and WLAN spectrum is quite cramped here, and part of me wants to isolate everything into nice separate networks, just to be sure)

You can also do real Ethernet with a teensy: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Ethernet.html

Thanks for that, I like the compactness of the Teensy solution. If we're going with shields it's probably worth mentioning that the Arduino also has one:

Interesting concept, even if a bit too hacky, thanks for the link! (and probably possible with all kinds of fast-ish systems with DMA)
