Open Source Hardware LIME2-SERVER user manual is uploaded and explains how to assembly and how to install Linux images of popular projects

LIME2-SERVER is Linux server with only 2W consumption, A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 and option for HDD or SSD.

The server has bild-in LiPo battery which allow it to run for hours without external power supply, Gigabit Ethernet connection and power adapter 5V 2A.

Today we uploaded on GitHub the initial version of the user manual which explains how to assembly the boxes in case you didn’t bought it assembled.

Also basic instructions to use Ubuntu Bionic and Debian Buster images we provide.

KODI and NextCloud installation.

Additional info how to build and install Home Assistant, Yunohost, TOR server will be included in the next revision.

Open Source ESP8266-EVB IoT Firmware initial release is uploaded to GitHub

ESP8266-EVB initial upload of IoT-Firmware is on GitHub. We work on this firmware for several months already, the idea behind this is to enable IoT applications to be made by anyone who knows web programming and Java Script. No knowledge for embedded hardware and electronics is needed. What you can do is to sense buttons, open and close relays, measure analog values, control RGB leds, measure temperature, send and receive IR remote control commands (thus controlling every device in your home which have IR remote control like TVs, Air conditioners, VCRs, etc), read RFID cards, scan fingerprints and store in database of 2000 records, then scan and recognize fingerprints from the database. These sensors and modules can be connected to ESP8266-EVB and controlled via web code:

• ESP8266-EVB native resources: Button, Relay, ADC
• I2C UEXT modules: MOD-RGB, MOD-TC-MK2-31855, MOD-IO2, MOD-IRDA+
• SPI UEXT modules: MOD-LED8x8RGB
• UART UEXT modules: MOD-RFID125-BOX, SNS-FINGERPRINT (work in progress)

and many others will come.

Future versions of firmware upgrade are made via the web interface by simple drag and drop of the firmware file.
