I was searching for single board controllers with integrated wifi and bluetooth modules and found that there was a new board on the market. The C.H.I.P. which has wifi, bluetooth and vga/hdmi connection.
This board costs only $9!!!
This board runs a linux-like OS. Now I was wondering if there is a possibility to see if there is a blynk integration with this board.
Not as server, but as controller. So you can turn the lights on, when entering the room by checking the bluetooth connection strength.
ESP32 has the same features, but the C.H.I.P. can also run processes which ESP32 can not.
But I think the C.H.I.P. will not be a real-time controller, which arduino-like boards are, caused by background processes of Linux.
Well, you canât buy it right now. Just preorder and you never know when theyâll come. So thatâs mean they are not on market yet. While physically they exists .
@Dmitriy your reference to âyetâ is somewhat misplaced. They have already been on the âmarketâ, sent out thousands and Pavel has them to prove it. Presumably Pavel bought 2 so they can be tested and added to your list of supported devices.
The WeMos didnât âexistâ last week then by your reckoning @Dmitriy.
My Samsung S3 doesnât âexistâ either or millions of other Android and iOS devices.
If you have big enough pockets you can have one of these none existent CHIPâs delivered to you in a few days.
Canât buy/pre-order it either. But thatâs because I donât have a creditcard⌠Everything in the US needs to be paid with a creditcard. When you want a creditcard in most countries of the EU, you need to pay every month for the creditcard service without even using is.
In the EU we have a debitcard. In the Netherlands we use iDeal. Kind of PayPal but than itâs a realtime transfer between bank accounts.
So I tried to contact them to make an offer with PayPal, but they wonât.
So I need to wait until they want to work with PayPalâŚ
