It's here.The two Arduino saber originals have teamed up to bring you the
STREAM Core™ RGB Version 1 featuring hardware by
Prowerkstatt and the
S.T.R.E.A.M. software system developed by
JakeSoft.
Based on the venerable DIYino™
Stardust V3, this board comes fully programmed with the S.T.R.E.A.M. firmware. There is
no sketch to compile,
no code to download, and
no libraries to install; just wire it and enjoy. (
This is NOT FX-SaberOS/LightsaberOS and shares no code in common; this is a totally new ProtowerkStatt/JakeSoft collaboration!)
