  • 100% compatible with ARC for PC, Android and iOS
  • incredibly small footprint!
  • 8 digital I/O (servos, switches, buttons, uart, ultrasonic distance, etc)
  • 2 adc
  • energy effecient digital switching power supply
  • amplified audio and speaker for wifi streaming
  • ezrobot camera port
  • i2c connector
  • web interface
  • telnet interface
  • OTA firmware upgradable

Best of all, it's going to be very affordable! a fraction of the cost of the ezb v4 powerhouse. This will be great for small diy robots or iot devices.

Status: hardware is done. Firmware has two minor tweaks to complete. Should see it on the store with the other ezbits (inverted pendulum, neo pixel controller, etc) over the summer:)

Waw that's a cool thing DJ. I was looking for something like that, and already started some experiments with other brands. You made it just in time ! Can't wait to get it !

Hey! The mini EZB finally got here! This is awesome!

I can now mount this little guy up in the brain inside the bubble of my Lost in Space B9 and get rid of the cables running down the neck of the bubble lifter to the EZB mounted below in the torso. This will make the bubble section it's own little robot.

Will this show up and connect to ARC the same way a full sized EZB will?

Is there anyway you can leak out any other specs on this little gem? Voltage input range, Wifi, Power Pin output?

Attached is a photo of the IoTiny dimensions (in mm):

Some addition bits of info:

  • Barrel jack protrudes 5.5mm away from the board and is 10.4mm in height (the plastic body width is slightly less that the 8.99mm dimension, it's ~8.65mm)
  • Mounting holes are 4-40 hardware compatible
  • Plastic hardware is recommended for use near the WiFi antenna (prevents radio interference)
  • Voltage input is recommeded to be externally fuse protected
  • Reverse polarity protection on Voltage input
  • Low voltage battery monitor
  • 3.3V is protected via short circuit & over current protection from the switching power supply
  • Just like the EZ-bv4 the Digital I/O pins are current limited to ~10mA and are 5V tolerant
  • Unlike the EZ-Bv4 the Analog pins are not 5V tolerant (3.3V max)

Oh, and by the way, I'm pretty excited about this too:D

Awesome, thanks @Jeremie... I will start working on some sort of case for it...
