EtherTen Ethernet Arduino Compatible Microcontroller is out of stock

what can I use instead of EtherTen (100% Arduino compatible with onboard Ethernet) because it is out of stock, and will all codes work in it?

@maryyammm Welcome to the RobotShop community. You are correct that Freetronics has not been able to manufacture the EtherTen for what seems to be a while, and they have not provided RobotShop with an expected date as of late August 2023.

What features are you looking for? For example you can get similar functionality using a shield compatible Arduino microcontroller and an Ethernet shield (many of which include a microSD card slot)

i want to it to do this project In this project we are putting together a Weather Station using a variety of sensors. The platform being used is an Arduino board (Freetronics EtherTen) with built in Ethernet. This will provide communications to the sensor along with a power source provided by POE (Power Over Ethernet).

As we work through the project we will connect up the various sensors. In this process we create the software sketch that will run the weather station.

We could also use a WiFi connection to provide the data communications. This would however require an alternative power source such as a solar panel and battery. We will add WIFI at a later stage.

On completion of the project the following data will be available:

  • External Temperature (DS18B20)
  • Internal Temperature (BME280)
  • Humidity (BME280)
  • Barometric Pressure (BME280)
  • Rain Gauge (Hydreon RG-ll)
  • Wind Speed (Davis Anemometer)
  • Wind Direction (Davis Anemometer)

To aid in the testing process two LED’s have been included. One is to indicate there is power being supplied to the controller box. This LED is connected to the 12V input via a resistor. The other LED is used to indicate when data is being transmitted to the remote server.

The Arduino board and the BME280 will be mounted inside a container made from a 100mm PVC pipe. In fact the container and wind shield were made from common plumbing and gardening materials available from your local home hardware store. Alternatively some of the materials can be obtained as left overs from building sites.

It sounds like your main factor is PoE?

If you’re planning to create more than one, or even a commercial product, we are not aware of any direct replacements to the EtherTen.
