Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 802.3af/at
- Earlier Power over Ethernet standards that provide less power than 802.3bt. They matter here because using one of these lower-power PoE sources may cause the board or attached computer to reboot or fail to start.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- PoE
- Power over Ethernet lets one Ethernet cable carry both network data and electrical power. This is useful when installing a device where running a separate power adaptor would be difficult.
