Electronics enthusiasts and programmers looking for an easy way to connect UART devices with custom software over the Internet using a single cloud-based server may be interested in a new line of devices created by programmer Hubert Jetschko in the form of the Webifi Connect and Webifi Shield.
The Webifi Connect and Webifi Shield boards have been specifically designed to provide easy setup and reliable data transfer. The Webifi Connect WiFi board measures 34.3mm x 36.8mm and is a general purpose PCB, where the connection is made by a standard 2.54mm header.
The board is designed to easily connect to most development kits or devices that have UART pins on a connector.
“They have gone through the development phase and are in the final testing phase right now. We will be ready for the production phase as soon as we have enough money in hand from our amazing backers! The server and software libraries (C#, Javascript and Python) have been tested extensively over the last few months. We have finished the first PCB prototypes and the firmware for connecting to the Webifi service has been written but still needs some work to complete.”.
