You will need to update the firmware with your preferred open source firmware, using a standard micro USB cable (not included).  Working examples of test code can be found in our Wiki and GitHub

  • 1 x IPEX-1 Board
    • SMD (Surface Mounted Components) Populated.
    • Fully Tested
  • 8 x Terminal Blocks (2 Pin – Not Soldered)
  • 1 x Terminal Block (2 Pin – Not Soldered)
  • 1 x Straight Header Socket (4 Pin – Not Soldered)
  • 1 x Strip of Straight Pin Header
  • 1 x 6W JST Header Jumper Cable
  • 1 x 6W JST Header Cable
  • 1 x Complimentary screwdriver

Available Separately

Note that with the large terminal block on the board, the enclosure will require to be modified with an aperture.  Large solder pads are included on the board, so avoiding the need to use the terminal block, if required – thus making it low profile.
