OpenPICUS blog. OpenPICUS - Opensource Wireless Internet of Things. OpenPicus Flyport Hands-On. Today I had the fantastic opportunity of reviewing a new open source technology-– OpenPicus.
Chris from Australian Robotics offered me the sample and I jumped at the opportunity to get my hands on a new gadget! OpenPicus is an open source hardware and software solution that provides both developers and hobbyists with a very easy-to-use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth stack. Hardware The OpenPicus hardware is designed with modularity in mind. The hardware platform consists of one or more "Picuses" and a "Nest", the nest provides a USB debugging interface, breakout board for the Picus, a USB-ICSP Programmer and a nice silk-screen to show you what goes where.
