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!)

Of course you also get all the benefits of the proven Stardust V3 platform:
- USB charging: The board can be used to charge a single 3.7V Li-Ion battery cell, no need for a recharge port! The board includes an on-board micro-USB connector as well as an external, small size micro-USB breakout board. Either USB port can be used to charge the battery and interface with your Windows PC for the STREAM GUI app!
- Deep Sleep: With current consumption of a mere 0.3mA in sleep mode, a kill key is purely optional!
- Single cell compatible: The board is designed to operate with a single-cell 3.7v Lithium Ion battery.
- Small size: 0.82" x 2" x 0.2" (21mm x 51mm x 6mm)
All of this is delivered on a gorgeous special-edition jet-black PCB.
STREAM Core is the only turn-key saber board in the galaxy to combine the software development expertise of JakeSoft with superb electrical engineering from Protonerd/Obi_1. This is the culmination of a collective decade in saber development, so please join me and welcoming this new mid-range saber core to the fold!
For sales and availability questions, contact Obi_1. Expect prices to be ~75 USD when the boards go on sale.
