48bit MAC Address Module for Grove

Japanese page

This module is equipped with an I²C-connected EEPROM 24AA025E48 (Microchip Inc.) with a pre-written MAC address and a Grove-compatible connector.
A unique 48-bit MAC address (EUI-48) can be assigned to network-connected devices such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
A sticker with the MAC address is also included in the package.
