Meet Unihiker - A Linux Computer & Microcontroller In One
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- The Unihiker is designed to bridge the gap between a traditional single-board computer (SBC) that runs an operating system like Linux, and a microcontroller like an Arduino - it's actually got both of these onboard. Today we're going to be taking a look at it.

If you've got any ideas for Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or other Electronics projects or tutorials you'd like to see, let me know in the comments section.

The form factor and the case seem nice. The main drawback is probably the low resolution screen, especially considering the relatively high price.
I think a good project with this will be a home automation system with multiple relays and real AC current, or a smart chessboard with StockFish installed and running from the Unihiker, to make a completely offline board.
This would be great with a relay board that uses the edge connector on the bottom, you could build a pretty good home automation system with it.
This is by far the best review I've seen yet on this device, really well done. The device itself looks really promising, there are so many possibilities. I'm a little surprised that it doesn't look like it's possible to power it from the edge connector, that seems like an oversight. Maybe you could jump one of the unused connectors on the back side of the edge connector to the USB C power line? I'm really looking forward to seeing what the community does with this and I might just have to grab one myself.
Thanks for the feedback! It is disappointing that the only way to power it is through the USB C port. I think the reason for this is that the board runs on 5V (at least the microcontroller side) to maintain compatability with sensors etc. and they've tried to keep the edge connector compatible with the micro:bit ecosystem which is 3.3V.
This looks very cool!
that things is AWESOME!!!! I just hope it's at a good price, because it looks like it would be expansive... OMG!!! $80?!?!? I was expecting it to be about $200!!! THAT'S FANTASTIC!!!!
This is a GREAT WAY to get a kid to fall in love with coding... and there are SOOOO MANY 'accessories' that are really inexpensive that it's really cheap to keep your kid's interest in it. It's not even really a toy but at that price it may as well be! I wish I had something like this when I was a kid lol - I am IMPRESSED!!
If you pair this with an inexpensive sensor kit like DFRobots Gravity range or Seed Studio's Grove range, you have a really good educational platform that'll keep kids busy for weeks building projects, learning electronics and programming for around $100.
this is cool. Like a smaller cheaper Latte Panda with screen. Now all it need is a battery and 4G LTE module and you got a custom smartphone.
I am considering one of these. I would want it to control a robot. Perhaps you can try it with a micro:bit compatible robot.
What connect is used to connect to the side bus?
The BME280 sensor uses the I2C interface
I am a bit late but it would be good for my mini shrum farm
Is it better than Raspberry PI? Can I change distribution?
It depends on your use case, this is better for projects that use sensors and actuators but I'd say a Raspberry Pi is more versatile and has better software support.
@@MichaelKlements but for a computer and a microcontroller, this is cool.

I2C I think
can the unihiker do what the flipper zero can do
The flipper zero has integrated sensors/coms devices, this is just the standalone board. You could add modules to achieve the same results though.
Can it run Doom??? XD
Promo SM 😚
Oh wow!
I can build a Thermostat?
For ONLY $80 +shippin n handlin ?!!!
Sure, a quad core thermistat with WiFi
