We will put wireless on NanoNote

Mon, 2011-04-04 08:20 — David Samblas

We start to feel comfortable on this of producing hardware, so after our positive experienceo with the UBB, Tuxbrain will produce the AtBen y AtUSB to enchance NanoNote with 802.15.4 WPAN wireless capabilities, this post is to announce that production has already started, and first units will be ready on mid/end May.
The avobe pictures are the prototypes made by the skilled hands of Werner Almesberger , who has already reported comunication between two Ben Nanonotes using the stack of linux-zigbee project.
A carlification wireless is not WI FI , on Qi Hardware we don't go a step forward if is not towards freedom, and sadly there is no real free hardware alternative on 802.11(Wi-Fi) yet, so we decide to desing and produce a total copyleft hardware for 802.15.4 (Wireless Personal Area Network WPAN) for protocols based on it like 6LoWPAN or Zigbee, from our part we will focus on 6LoWPAN due is protocol open, free and under the standards of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)

All production (PCB+SMT) will be done in Spain :)

More info once the prototypes arrive in our hands :)

Where cars goes backwards and Russian is spoken at bars ... and also put mules in your chips.
Right, any of this has any sense, but who cares, we have a clear objective, enjoy this year knowing in advance we have one, our little stand on FOSDEM 2011, before we go to the photos(video on later post as usual) I want to thank all who have visit our stand to wave, both the new ones an those who repeat, thanks to FOSDEM organization, the make us feel like home, thanks to our friends of Hackable Devices to let us that valuable piece of table, boys and girls on Qi Hardware for crating such wonderful marvels that are NanoNote , Milkymist and the next ones to come, to developers of Jlime, to SDGSystems to let us the valuable and powerful Nomad and Yuma and show the world Linux can be secure inside and barely indestructible on outside, also to hundred of people that ask us if NanoNote has Wifi ,why it don't have, and when it will have it, I had miss the count around the 267 but also thank you to them too. Thanks to all followers, costumers, curious, developers, collaborators, family and friends to make us able be there one more time. Photos on inside the post.

Going out the cave, FOSDEM2011 here we go!

After some period working on background, working with other projects and preparing this new year 2011, we have been not stopped at all :), we don't have stopped on colaboration on Qi-hardware[1] and Arduino[2] projects, we were also rebuilding our webshop on the inside an the visible part too, finding new devices to work on and include them in our catalog, an well quite some more things we well start along this year[3] , and what better way show that things than at FOSDEM 2011 , thanks to our friends from Hackable Devices we will share stand with them and Golden Delicious. We will expose there the products and projects we are working on like NanoNote, MilkyMist, Arduino and also anounce our colaboration with Nan Tic porting his OpenErp client app Koo to make it run on Rugged Handhelds and POS hardware.
I you will go there and pass near the stands[4] don't hesitate to wave, take a look, exange opinions or simple put a face and voice on that IRC or mail , we will love to meet you there.
