UNIHIKER - single board computer - IoT Python - with 2.8'' touchscreen display - DFRobot DFR0706-EN

UNIHIKER is an alternative to the Raspberry Pi minicomputer . It is a single-board SBC computer with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A35 processor, which is equipped with a 2.8'' touchscreen color display , light sensor , accelerometer, gyroscope and microphone. It also offers the user WiFi and Bluetooh wireless communication , and thanks to the built-in coprocessor, it can communicate with analog and digital sensors and modules that use I2C , UART and SPI buses. What's more, the board has extensive programming capabilities - novice users can program it via the Mind+ graphical editor, and slightly more advanced via Python or Jupyter Notebook (using a smartphone or tablet).

Rich interfaces allow you to extend the functionality of the board from any angle.

• UNIHIKER with Rockchip RK3088 processor as an alternative to the Raspberry Pi board
• VS Code, VIM and Thonny support
• Integrated PinPong library for direct control of peripherals
• WiFi and Bluetooth communication for wireless connectivity
• Built-in SIoT service for data storage via MQTT protocol with access to real-time network data
• All data stored directly on the device
• 2.8" touchscreen display for visualization of collected data in the form of graphs or dynamic animations
• Possibility of programming from a computer, iPad, phone and hotspot support
• Rich interfaces and extensive expandability with additional peripherals
• MicroSD memory card slot, utility buttons and Home-button

First, connect the board to the computer using a USB type C cable, and after turning on the module, the UNIHIKER logo should appear on the computer screen. During this time, the computer will recognize the board as a network device that can be accessed by the user through a fixed IP address of 10.1.2.3.

Make sure that the USB cable is connected directly to the computer - connecting via an adapter or docking station may fail.

The UNIHIKER board can also be programmed wirelessly - more information can be found in the user's guide .

The module can work in hotspot mode for wireless programming.
