From the project
ACnode using a Connected Launchpad
designed to connect an RJ45 socket to an Elechouse V4 NFC module without spaghetti wiring.
Initial revision of this is targeted at EN 60670-1 socket back-boxes / blanking plate builds as used by Doorbots. There's no reason not to use them for acnodes as well, but a near-future revision (possibly before ordering the boards) will include support for the existing boxes used for AC node builds with the massive arcade buttons, by means of different mounting holes.
