Robotics fans and tinkerers around the globe are excited about the VoCore Mini Linux Computer, a versatile board that could be seen as a cousin to the Raspberry Pi.
The open-source mini Linux machine offers a world of creative options, whether to invent a new device, build a motherboard, repurpose old speakers, setting up a smart home and more. It can even be used as a standalone device running OpenWrt or as part of a larger system. For a limited time, TNW Deals is cutting the price to just $39 for this great launchpad to invention.
This coin-sized Linux computer with WiFi received nearly double its funding goal on Indiegogo back in 2014, and the final result yields an impressive world of possibilities. It works on open-source hardware, providing up to 20 GPIO lines, and includes an on-board WiFi adapter so you won’t need an external one.
The VoCore can also extend ethernet and USB interfaces with the Dock, operate as a fully functional 2.4GHz WiFi Router and more.
