Schematic shows SPI and TWI labels for them, are they buffered extensions or what?<p>Guess I should have watched the video first. Tinker kit? Going to have to google that.<br>
Hey Robert got thrown out of the studio? I like the look of the factory floor though.</p></p>

This was at the christmas party.<p>But seriously, Thanks man! Big ups to Gregg who perused the whole video to find me a still frame of Rob's head at the right angle. Made things a lot easier for me.</p></p>

Sembazuru on New Product Friday: This. Is. SparkFun!Sembazuruurn:uuid:b0dddff6-df78-7c91-bfbe-24b2ae7730f42015-07-17T07:54:43-06:00<p>For those keeping score, that Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 is an <a href="http://www.arduino.org/index.php" rel="nofollow">Arduino.org</a> product, not an <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/" rel="nofollow">Arduino.cc</a> product. That's all I'm going to say about politics here.<p>The "new" R3 arduino header arrangement is also there on the regular <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoEthernetShield" rel="nofollow">Arduino Ethernet Shield</a>, so that is <strong>not</strong> a new feature of this revision of the product. <em>Technically it is the Arduino 1.0 pinout. Commonly, and mistakenly, called the R3 pinout because it was first seen on the R3 Arduino boards.</em></p><p>What <em>is</em> new are the TinkerKit headers, and components shifted around to make room for the headers. One of the major things that moved is the reset button, but that is actually quite minor for most people. More importantly, both the SD card and the optional PoE mounting appear to be in very nearly the same place. (I'd have to compare CAD files to be sure.)</p><p>One thing that always bugged me about the PoE module is Arduino never carried it as a stand-alone part in their store. One could get an Ethernet Shield with one installed, but if one wanted to upgrade an existing shield to use PoE one had to try to figure out how to source the module themselves. Do you guys at SparkFun think you could look into stocking them? I don't expect that it would be a high volume product, so an initial order of 10 might last you a year...</p></p>
