I got the Linkit 7688 Duo couple of years back but was not able to work on it apart from getting started and programming the onboard Atmega(w/ Arduino Bootloader) using Arduino IDE video. But recently I thought of checking out the python programming aspect of it, as the MPU runs an OpenWRT based lightweight OS over which we can run any programming language as long as the limited resources available on the board are sufficient. The board comes with one MPU (MT7688) and one MCU(Atmega32U4) I am working on a…

Getting started with Linkit Smart 7688 DUO
In this video, we will see the specs of the module, Configure using the web interface, will access the terminal using SSH. Now coming on to the board this comes is two flavors those are Linkit Smart 7688 and Linkit Smart DUO.Over here what I am having is the DUO module.The difference between both is that the DUO has an ATMEGA324 controller apart from the main MPU which can be programmed using Arduino. Checking out the board on the front side u get 2 Micro USB socket out of which…
Read MoreProgramming Onion Omega 2 using Python | GPIO Access
This tutorial is all about developing python applications on Onion Omega 2. As the onion omega doesn’t come with python pre-installed, we need to install it ourselves. We can write a variety of scripts using python for Omega 2 and most importantly for IOT application we can access the GPIO of omega 2 by using python itself. So let’s check out how to do that. And if you are unaware of what is onion Omega 2 you can check the official website for more details and even buy one to…

This tutorial is around BBC Microbit and programming the microbit using MBED offline C/C++ IDE but for this, I have used Yotta command line tool provided by MBED for building the code. This lets you explore many features of the microbit which otherwise are not accessible.
