Zest_Interface_Ethernet

Overview

The Zest_Interface_Ethernet is an electronics development board for 6TRON opensource platform based on ENC424J600 from Microchip.

The ENC424J600 is a 100/10 Base-T Ethernet chip with unique MAC address.

The board features a RJ-45 connector with integrated magnetics and built-in Link and activity LEDs for connection to an Ethernet Local Area Network.

The Zest_Interface_Ethernet board offers 6TRON users an Ethernet network interface to devices, systems and sensors communicating with unique MAC address over a long distance.
