The Internet of Things is here to stay, so it’s time to get comfortable with controlling your devices via WiFi and connecting them to a network. While there’s still plenty of kinks to work out, there’s no denying the convenience and possibilities that a connected device allows.
If you’ve been daydreaming about starting your own IoT project, Obniz is here to make it a reality. This cloud-connected IoT development board welcomes both beginners and advanced users alike to bring their connected creations to life.
Using a smartphone or computer, you can leverage this development board to create all manner of unique applications. Turn on your air conditioner with your smartphone before you get home, drive a miniature car with your iPhone’s acceleration sensor, or even move a fan according to the position of your face, the sky’s the limit.
Obniz is controllable via Wifi from anywhere. All the I/Os can drive up to 1A, so motors can be connected directly. No app is required for programming, you simply scan the QR code on the PCB and you’re ready to program in your browser.
