Raspberry Pi and Arduino to get cellular access with SIM card add-on | Ars Technica<\/a><\/p>\n

From Arstechnica.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A new Kickstarter project aims to give Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards Internet access throughout the world with an add-on that allows integration with a SIM card.<\/p>\n

SparqEE Cellv1.0 would need to raise $70,000 to get the technology to backers, with donors pledging at least $69 to get the device. SparqEE CEO Christopher Higgins, an engineer, said he plans to take the Kickstarter page live on August 20. For now, it’s viewable in a draft form so that people can provide feedback.<\/p>\n

Cellv1.0 consists of a board with a cellular chip, a power supply, and a SIM holder, as well as a “jumper board” that “includes level shifters for whatever voltage levels you’re using (ex. 3.3V, 5V, or other).”<\/p>\n

As for getting a SIM card, the Kickstarter suggests taking one out of your phone, purchasing a pre-paid SIM from a retailer, or buying them directly from SparqEE.<\/p>\n

“We’ve contracted with a worldwide SIM provider, so SIMs from us are not only the lowest cost you’ll find, but they work anywhere in the world,” the company said. Coverage will come from “AT&T in US, 3G and GSM\/GPRS Worldwide.”<\/p>\n

Lots of projects involving the Raspberry Pi and Arduino rely on Wi-Fi, so there would be plenty of ways to put the cellular connectivity to use. SparqEE’s project suggestions include an “Arduino-enabled vehicle tracker to know exactly where your car is right from your smartphone,” and a “small, solar-powered, RC helicopter that could fly across the US from the comfort of your desk.”<\/p>\n

If the Kickstarter is successful, the company hopes to ship the devices by November.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Kickstarter is currently in draft mode and is expected to open up on 20th August. The boards start at $69 (for the first 100) and the Kickstarter needs $70,000 to be fully funded. This is easily achievable, I would’ve thought. The nearest competitor is almost twice the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
