NodeUSB is a ‘eat your own dog food’ DevKit for IoT.

NodeUSB is low cost, WiFi ready, based on ESP8266 SoC and NodeMCU.

Quick dev boards on the market is good, but you can not make product your friends can use everyday. All the thousands of cool things you can do on Arduino are just experiment.

Features:
- You can plug NodeUSB into any USB power adapter, you can ready to go!
- Open source Software. NodeMCU.
- Add sensors by just plug in USB boards.
- Low cost

Super easy to connect many sensors, just plug to USB female of NodeUSB, then ready to go.
Tested sensors:
- bmp180, bmp085
- DHT11, DHT22,
- ds18b20,
- si7021 (Humidity),
- 433m
- UltraSound
- 5V relay

Just received first shipments of prototypes today. Looks good.

We are in kickStarter now:

  • Solar powered WiFi weather station

    Found a great spot for Solar powered WiFi weather station:

    My deck, it will block the rain, block the sun, and easy to mount solar panel

    Pictures:

    The battery with charging PCB is still naked, I am waiting for the PCB shipment so I can make the Battery Node. Stay tuned.

    This is another one in front of my house, it is facing south, so lots of sun shine, 2 sensors will give me both the temperature under the sun or not.

    Steps to make a WiFi weather station:

    1. soldering 90 degree 2.54mm headers onto NodeUSB
    2. Soldering si7021 module on 2.54mm header
    3. If you want to add barometer, Use quick connect wire to add bp180 module
    4. put into case closures
    5. put in USB power adapter

    Here are the pictures:

    Touch node video!

  • Universal PCB for modules. (Arduino, etc )

    Michael Wen04/21/2015 at 01:15 0 comments

    PCB have 8 headers (4 pins, 2.54mm). (With 6 different combinations )

    So you connect different I2C modules (with different pin-outs) in just one Node. For example, you can use it to add both si7021 and bmp180 in your project. Sounds cool?

    Also USB male and female pass-through, you can create Nodes Chain with several nodes!
