Hello! I'm a real novice and after watching a few videos, I'm just afraid of screwing up my board by plugging in the ethernet shield 2 since it works on 5v according to the specs,
Is there a compatible shield or is the 5v shield finally compatible? I'm looking for a shield that doesn't require soldering if possible
As mentionned in the title, I'm using an arduino DUE, which only tolerates 3.3V for the pins voltage. While the ethernet shield 2 requires 5V, is it supposed to work ?
You are correct. The Ethernet shield 2 has circuitry that expects to be powered by 5v, and also expects the incoming SPI signals to be at the 5v level.
The MKR ETH shield should work in theory.
Normal SPI connectivity rules apply. You need to connect the MISO, MOSI, SCK, RST, 5v, GND and ETH_SS (slave select) pins Check the circuit diagram https://content.arduino.cc/assets/MKRETHShieldV2.0_sch.pdf
The shield generates it's own 3.3v supply from the Arduino 5v input rather than using the 3.3v supply directly.
