A Wireless-Tag development board with an RJ45 Ethernet port (DM9051 Ethernet MAC chip), PoE input through an external step-down module, and two 15-pin 2.54 mm headers, used to put a project on a wired network. The datasheet block diagram shows a WT32C3-S5 module connected to the Ethernet chip over SPI; the datasheet does not name the processor chip.

## Pinout

Pin names, voltages and remarks are copied from the Wireless-Tag WT32-ETH01 EVO Datasheet V2.0 (headers A and B, pages 4-5). The EVO differs from the original WT32-ETH01 (different Ethernet chip and header), so original-board documents are not used.

## Build with it
Project ideas for the WT32-ETH01 EVO. Each link opens Soldr with the prompt filled in; Soldr assigns the pins, checks power and shows how to wire every part.

- [Wired temperature logger](https://app.soldr.ai/?prompt=I%20want%20to%20build%20a%20wired%20network%20temperature%20logger%20with%20a%20WT32-ETH01%20EVO%20and%20a%20DS18B20%20waterproof%20probe): The probe data line goes to one of the 3.3 V-TTL IO pins on header B (IO_18 or IO_19) and readings go out over Ethernet; the USB serial board connects to TXD0 and RXD0 on header B to flash it. A learning project.
- [Wired doorbell notifier](https://app.soldr.ai/?prompt=I%20want%20to%20build%20a%20wired%20network%20doorbell%20notifier%20with%20a%20WT32-ETH01%20EVO%20and%20a%20tactile%20push%20button): A push button between a 3.3 V-TTL IO pin (for example IO_18 on header B) and GND, read with the internal pull-up, triggers a message over Ethernet; no level shifting is needed for a plain switch.
- [Wired status display](https://app.soldr.ai/?prompt=I%20want%20to%20build%20a%20wired%20network%20status%20display%20with%20a%20WT32-ETH01%20EVO%20and%20a%200.96%20inch%20I2C%20OLED): The OLED runs from the 3.3 V pins and uses two of the free 3.3 V-TTL IO pins on header B (IO_0, IO_18, IO_19) to show an IP address or a counter; the datasheet does not say which pins have hardware I2C, so use software I2C or check your firmware.

## Common mistakes

- Power the board from only one of the 5 V and 3.3 V inputs: the maker says the supply is 5 V or 3V3, only one of them (source: [link](https://img03.71360.com/w3/77q677/20241213/d9204c4fa85036d762668a3a59995d0e.pdf?dl=1&dlf=WT32-ETH01+EVO+Datasheet+V2.0EN.pdf), Power characterization, p.7).
- PoE needs an external step-down module: the datasheet says the RJ45 port has PoE input that requires one, and the POE+ pin carries 48 V (source: [link](https://img03.71360.com/w3/77q677/20241213/d9204c4fa85036d762668a3a59995d0e.pdf?dl=1&dlf=WT32-ETH01+EVO+Datasheet+V2.0EN.pdf), Tab.1 p.4; Tab.3 p.5). Do not connect 48 V to the 5 V or 3V3 pins.
- IO pins are 3.3 V-TTL: do not drive them from 5 V logic (source: [link](https://img03.71360.com/w3/77q677/20241213/d9204c4fa85036d762668a3a59995d0e.pdf?dl=1&dlf=WT32-ETH01+EVO+Datasheet+V2.0EN.pdf), Tab.2 p.4, Tab.3 p.5).

## Not covered by the official source

- The EVO datasheet does not state operating current, operating temperature, flash size or the processor chip name; those values are not given. The block diagram names a WT32C3-S5 module; the processor chip is not otherwise stated.
- Header B pin 12 is marked NC in the table but its remark says 5V input; both are shown as printed.
- The schematic page and the Figure 1 photo are not reproduced here.
