OK, so I'm not an EE, even though I do have a lot of experience with many form of electronics, and definitely some with PoE too . . . But I'd think that it should not be unheard of to get the price of a PoE cape down to under $20USD. *That* would be useful to some I'm sure. On Tue, Jan 12, 2016 at

That price for the cape is definitely too high. I would imagine a similar cape could be made for half that price or less. All the stuff that cape has on it is not needed either. But, I bet since Gerald has already looked into it he'd have a fairly decent idea of what such a cape should cost. On Tu

Thanks for the feedback. I can see what you mean about the board not having enough space, the PoE cape is pretty beefy! The price isn't all that cheap either, but may be cheaper than running a power cable to the desired location. Trouble for me it's in Dollars, I will have to add UK import duty
