2014-12-01 Thread c3wireless
C3-Wireless has developed a fully 802.3af-compliant PoE cape as part of an 
internal project.  We are trying to determine if there is enough demand to 
release it as a commercial product.  We would need to build a minimum of 
1000 units to make the price affordable.  Do you think crowd-funding would 
be a good approach?  I'd love some feedback at ccoll...@c3wireless.com.  
(Mods, please delete if you consider this spam.  Thanks.)

Remember that there are two forms of PoE.  One is the full  architected 
802.3af version, which is 48V with a handshake to establish things like
current requirement, and then there is the simpler passive PoE which 
just pushes typically 12-24V over the power pins (+ is 4-5, -  is 7-8).

The PoE pins on the BBB (if I remember correctly) are not used as PoE
and are either grounded or connected to ground by a resistor, either way
no use.

However you can get PoE injectors such as:-

http://www.rfelements.com/en/products/power-over-ethernet/passive-poe/

The one on the left would be used to power a BBB and the one on the right
would be used to inject the 5VDC into the cat-5 cable.

However be careful as voltage drop across cat5 is bigger than one might
imagine, so you would be better putting 12VDC into the injector and then
connecting a 12V - 5V converter (either a car USB adapter or one of the
little DC-DC converter modules) and pluging that into the BBB as it will 
be a better 5VDC.
