Seems too good to be true - but I'm not a hardware guy. Something like this looks like a Godsend for wearable computing, drones/copters, smart toys, household automation, etc. Can anyone with more clue comment?
- revelation 12y agoThese kind of gadgets already exist, see e.g. the http://8devices.com/carambola-2 http://8devices.com/carambola-2 They are basically breakout boards for MIPS SoC chips intended for use in home routers.
- jrockway 12y agoIt's basically an eval board for a Ralink SoC. I believe this particular chip is for lowish-end WiFi routers.
- turnip1979 12y agoI like the dock concept. Haven't seen it before. He (she?, they?) isn't claiming originality on the dock but it seems to fit his board form factor perfectly. Any precedence on that?
- beagle3 12y agoeyeFI cards and their ilk already exist. They don't usually expose their ARM processor, but I've seen a few articles about how to hack specific models. They usually run linux on an arm inside.
- fhars 12y agoIt is actually quite bulky for a wlan capable linux computer, but the smaller ones like http://hackaday.com/2013/08/12/hacking-transcend-wifi-sd-cards/ http://hackaday.com/2013/08/12/hacking-transcend-wifi-sd-car... don't give you acces to any gpio pins.
