BUGbase

A module-based Linux
computer for rapid device
prototyping

BUGbase WiFi is the heart of your BUG application. A powerful palm-sized computer with storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, rechargeable battery, mini LCD, USB and serial I/O, and more. Connect your BUGbase WiFi to any combination of up to four BUGmodules and build the ultimate prototype.

Modular electronic blocks		Use BUGbase WiFi as a portable computer, or add up to four BUGmodules to interact it with the physical world. The BUGvonHippel opens your BUG to virtually any input or output, be it a servo motor, heart rate monitor, card reader or more - you build the product you want. The high performance ARM processor lets your BUGbase WiFi do more - whether it's encoding media or streaming to the BUGview (LCD) or BUGsound (audio), logging sensor info from BUGlocate (GPS) or BUGmotion (motion sensor), or transmitting data via BUGbee (802.15.4) or BUG3g (coming soon). With integrated 802.11b/g and Bluetooth®, share your data with the world by connecting your BUG to any wireless network, and cut clutter by syncing peripherals or another BUGbase WiFi via Bluetooth. With a full Linux distro and Java virtual machine, develop your custom BUG application in Java with the Dragonfly SDK. Or dive deep into the shell environment and program in C, Perl, Python and more. BUGbase WiFi's lead-free components adhere to RoHS (Reduction of Harmful Substances Directive), helping you reduce your carbon footprint and ensuring a more environment-friendly product lifecycle. Hack away - we don't mind. The entire BUG platform, both hardware and software, is open source. View the wiring schematics and build a BUGmodule from scratch, or modify the software as you like.
