Hot off the press tonight is the Nanode - a £20 Network Applications Node.<br><br>It's Arduino shield compatible and offers lowest cost entry to internet connectivity and Internet of Things (IOT) sensor networks.<br>
<br>
There's 10 beta boards being distributed for application development, and we hope to have a public demo of internetworked nodes during the Pachube Hackathon on April 8th/9th.<br><br>After that we will be producing a batch of 100 - 200 boards and offer them on general sale at a sub £5 bare board price. You then buy the remainder of parts for about £12 and solder it up - takes just over an hour.<br>
<br>The Nanode is being offered to Hackspaces at a rock bottom price, so that it can be included in workshops, Hackathons and other IOT events.<br><br><br>Nanode - Just Make It!<br><br><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://sustburbia.blogspot.com/2011/03/nanode-its-bit-small-isnt-it.html" target="_blank">http://sustburbia.blogspot.com/2011/03/nanode-its-bit-small-isnt-it.html</a><br>
<br>Ken B<br><br><br>Interested parties should contact me about pre-ordering boards from the next batch. We hope to take this to China to get the best price on 200 boards.<br>
