SODAQ: a lego-like, plug-in, rapid prototyping board by SODAQ \u2014 Kickstarter<\/a><\/p>\n

Got contacted by these guys a few days ago and have only just got round to having a look at the Kickstarter.<\/p>\n

Now, obviously this isn’t strictly Pi-related, but I thought it was such a cool board that it was worth giving them a little bit of exposure on my blog.<\/p>\n

SODAQ is a multi-feature microprocessor board that lets you connect sensors and devices to the internet, quickly and with no fuss. It’s designed for connecting things efficiently, running off-grid with built-in, ready-to-go solar power.<\/p>\n

The board has built in sockets for Grove modules; a realtime clock; extended flash memory; USB on-board; and the Bee socket can take any WiFi\/RF\/XBee or other compatible plugin for communications instead of our GPRS module.<\/p>\n

Their Kickstarter has some very attractive reward levels, including an \u00a380 pledge for the full board, battery, solar charging panels and GPRS module.<\/p>\n
