Saturday, December 4th, 2010

New info about Flukso hardware.

I always wonted to buy one for my home , may be soon. They are around 90 euros.

By the way Flukso is : “FLUKSO is a web-based community metering application. Install a Fluksometer near your fuse box and you will be able to monitor, share and reduce your electricity consumption through this website.”

Here pictures of first Flucso version.

They used Fonera and custom Arduino. But as seem there is new strategy for the ver 2 board. Custom main board computable wit OpenWRT and pin-out for Flucso or Mesh Potato add-on board.

Dragino has a powerful 180MHz CPU, 8M flash, 16M RAM, Ethernet, Wifi and runs OpenWRT firmware. Applications include remote control of robots, data logging, web applications for data presentation, mesh networking over Wifi and many more.The Dragino is open software & open hardware design released under the the Creative Commons License.  The modular Dragino design also enables rapid development cycles for commercial products – just design a custom micrcontroller board and you have a turn-key commercial microcontroller/embedded Linux product.
