Description
I had a few Raspberry Pi Zeroes (non W versions) laying around and had nothing to use them for since they have no network abilities. Then I remembered I had a couple of ENC28J60 modules laying around from a few years back. So I mashed up something to slap em all together. While I was at it I added a LM2596 DC-DC buck converter for powering it, I hate micro USB ports and I have more 12v supplies than I do 5v ones.
Needs:
1 RPi Zero
1 ENC28J60 Mini (the skinny ones with no holes)
1 LM2596 DC-DC buck converter (available all over, the 3A ones)
1 DC Barrel jack
There is a lid and two bases to choose from. One is just the base and the other is the base with some mounting wings added on the sides.
I used female to female jumper wires, there should be enough clearance for the plugs and the lid.
When I printed mine out I had a hard time getting the lid to snap on all the way (but I did get it on), if you run into this I'd suggest upping the lid by 1-2% to see if that helps.
No more useless RPi Zero (non wireless)! Yay!
