Onion omega micro pc runs on linux
Table of contents:
It seems that PC-capable microwaves are just getting started. Onion Omega, a project that is raising funds on Kickstarter , has drawn attention not only for its size, but also for the possibilities that the device offers to developers. So far, over $ 21, 000 has already been raised.
The main attraction of the board in relation to its competitors, such as the Raspeberri PI and Galileo, from Intel , is the versatility. In addition to being compatible with some of the most common programming languages such as Python, PHP and Javascript, it has the ability to run the Linux operating system.
To this end, Onion Omega has an Atheros AR9331 400 MHz processor, 64 MB of DDR2 RAM and 16 MB of Flash memory. At first glance, the hardware may not impress, but looking by size - the board measures only 28.2mm x 52mm - you can imagine the range of application possibilities.
It has also integrated Wi-Fi, GPIO pins, 18 is USB compliant and has low power consumption of just 0.6w.
Onion Omega Accessories
The solution found to add more features was to develop spare parts that can be easily assembled and disassembled. Among expansion cards are a dock that adds a USB input, a power connector and other supplies that allow adding an RJ-45 connector and an OLED screen.
The interesting thing is that the Onion Omega allows the use of more than one expansion card simultaneously. In addition, extra springs can be purchased like an Arduino board and a mechanical regulator.
Projects
To generate community interest and hit the target of collecting equipment from the manufacturer he developed various prototypes to illustrate the use of Onion Omega. Among them are some very interesting ones, such as a robot arm that plays a ping pong table and can be remotely controlled by the Internet.
The possibilities are endless for those who have technical knowledge about programming. But even those who are not experts can take a risk with Onion Omega. The manufacturer maintains several cloud applications that can be downloaded for on-board use. You can also use the community provided code library.
Onion Omega Price
With 33 days to go until the project closes on Kickstarter, Onion Omega has already reached its goal of raising $ 15, 000. From $ 19 it is possible to buy a board with an expansion base. The company also sells ready equipment, such as a smart camera, for $ 99; a device that automatically prints tweets, for $ 109, and the spider robot, for $ 499.
