Designed for hobbyists, educators, and professionals alike, this board is ideal for creating WiFi-enabled projects with dual-processing capability.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Dual Processors: Equipped with an ATmega328 for traditional Arduino functionality and an ESP8266 module for WiFi connectivity, providing enhanced processing power and flexibility.
- Integrated Voltage Regulation: Features onboard 5V and 3.3V regulators to seamlessly manage the different voltage requirements of the two processors.
- Versatile Connectivity: Offers a standard Arduino R3 header pinout so you can connect any Arduino-compatible shield, vastly expanding your project possibilities.
- Multiple Programming Modes: A built-in 8-position DIP switch allows you to easily select between four modes:
– Mode 1: Connects USB Serial to the ATmega328 for programming and serial monitoring.
– Mode 2: Directs USB Serial to the ESP8266 for programming the WiFi module.
– Mode 3: Routes USB Serial to the ESP8266 for serial communication.
– Mode 4: Enables serial communication between the ATmega328 and ESP8266, with built-in voltage level shifting. - Micro USB Interface: Uses a compact micro USB connector for easy connectivity and programming via a USB-to-micro USB cable.
- Onboard WiFi Antenna: Includes a built-in WiFi antenna with an option to connect an external antenna if greater range is required.
Applications:
– Ideal for IoT projects that require WiFi connectivity without the need for multiple modules.
– Suitable for educators and beginners looking for a cost-effective and feature-rich platform that supports standard Arduino shields.
– Perfect for prototypes and competitive projects requiring dual processing capabilities and integrated serial communication between processors.
Programming & Communication:
