IoT controller based on ESP8266 with I2C peripherals with example implementation as a plant ecosystem controller.
This is a main board of a low-power battery powered IoT device controller based on ESP8266 (ESP-WROOM-02) that drives peripheral devices on I2C bus.
Currenly the project is under development and you can help in the following way:
Currently this project is licensed as GNU AGPLv3. This is intended to be changed to Apache or MIT when I get a better feel of the project and see how it moves forward. I would accept suggestions of a qualified lawyer as I need help figuring out how to move forward.
Most prototyping boards are exactly what they say - designed for prototyping and difficult to apply in a production device or if you are a hardcore hobbyist. Unlike those projects, the Eggboard is intended to be a final solution that lets you hook your peripherals to an I2C bus and enjoy a low-power battery operation, wireless charging, and WiFi connectivity out of the box.
Features:
The example implementation is a Nour Egg plant ecosystem controller that is under development. This device is going to be commercially available for purchase in 2022 along with free downloadable app and a cloud-based analytics platform.
