Is Ethernet shield for Nano usable in any way?



  • Hi all!

    It's not really a technical problem but i wanted to ask you.
    I have a Deek-Robot W5100 Ethernet Shield for Nano. My question is, for what it is usable? 🙂
    I've created a very simple sketch with MySensors (W5100 Ethernet + MQTT + DHCP + MY DEBUG messages, quite typcial setup) + 2 relay messages.
    Debug build even won't fit into 30kB of flash 🙂
    Adding optimization, turning off My debug drops usage to 24kB (78% of flash).
    Room for application is so small, that i don't know for what this shield is used for 🙂

    By the way, do you know any small boards compatible (like nano) with ethernet, with more flash ?

    I use a Nano, Ethernet, LCD display, and GPS for an NTP server on my isolated network to provide the time for [suspect] cameras.
