The PODuino v1.0 is a development board that combines the Arduino Mega 2560 with an IOTile Device for data collection and control over Bluetooth.
Contact Arch Systems (https://archsys.io) to get information on how you can get your own PODuino.
The Arduino Mega 2560 within the PODuino can be used on its own just like any other Arduino. Therefore, any Arduino Mega 2560 example/tutorial should work with the PODuino as well allowing you to combine Arduino projects with low power wireless connectivity and the cloud.
The following pins are used to connect the Arduino Mega 2560 with the rest of the IOTile Device:
| Pin | IOTile GPIO Description |
|---|---|
| 14 | TX3 |
| 15 | RX3 |
| 39 | Digital |
Make sure you have a jumper installed on your PODuino as shown (meaning on the top position 1):
You will need access to Python 2.7+ and the following tools. Install them now as needed:
- Install the latest Arduino IDE
- Install the IOTile Coretools
- Install the IOTile Arduino Bridge
Start with the PODuino Blink Tutorial
A few tutorials and examples are included under the /examples directory.
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| blink-tutorial | Start with this simple example |
| count-example | A more elaborated but still simple count up/down example |
| rfid-example | Example of an RFID reader (incomplete) |
1: Some poduino versions have 'UART' written on top and 'TILEBUS' below, and some others have the revert.
