With Ethernet connectivity, your Arduino projects can communicate with other devices over a network, access online services, and even be controlled remotely via the internet.

It’s no secret that Ethernet shields for the Arduino are a little expensive. With the official Ethernet shield selling for about $50 and other options not much cheaper, there’s a lot of room ...

Arduino have taken the tiny wraps off of the official ethernet shield for their open-source prototyping platform, which adds network connectivity to the device.

The W5500 Ethernet Shield for Arduino from Seeed Studio is a great way to set up your projects with internet connectivity with just a single chip.

The problem with using it along with Arduino-based gadgets is that you then need to use something like an Ethernet shield to provide the network connection.

The Arduino development board has grown in popularity over the last few years and has spawned a myriad of interesting projects such as auto-lacing shoes, The EyeWriter 2.0, and the Mobile Dance Stage.

This shield is purchased from Wayne and Layne and soldered together to create the bridge between NXT motors and sensors and the Arduino microcontroller.

Enrico shows how his Infineon TLE94112EL motor controller shield can be put to work through a simple Arduino sketch.

The best Arduino shields for IoT applications provide a host of features designed for connectivity, control, and data throughput.

While a few Wi-Fi solutions have existed to connect your Arduino to the internet wirelessly, the release of the new Arduino Wi-Fi shield makes those projects even simpler.
