From the «We'll call it Power Pie» department: Title: Power over Ethernet for your Pi Author: Gavin Thomas Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2015 05:40:10 -0400 Link: http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/raspberry-pi/power-over-ethernet-for-your-pi There’s a great new upgrade coming out for the Raspberry Pi that can provide it with power via the Ethernet connection: the Pi PoE Switch HAT[1]. It’s an add-on board that brings the Pi Supply Switch[2] technology together with power-over-Ethernet all in one fantastic package. You can now power your Raspberry Pi and provide an Ethernet connection in any location with just a single cable – perfect for removing the clutter of wires and for reliable use in remote locations. Currently, the Kickstarter[1] is doing extremely well after reaching 100% funded in just 20 hours. [image 3][1] Created by Pi Supply[4], the Pi PoE has been in development for just under a year. The PCB design is already finalised and tested, and is working great, and Pi Supply have production-ready prototypes working correctly, so manufacture is ready to start as soon as this campaign is completed. Some of the Pi PoE features include: * Intelligent power management with on-board microcontroller * Fully assembled with no soldering required * Configurable on-board button for switching on/off * Powers the Pi over GPIO pins and sends Ethernet signal to Pi using a patch cable * Leaves all GPIO pins free for use with another add-on boards Pledges for the Pi PoE Switch HAT reward start at £30 for one fully assembled kit – get yours now[5].
