Wednus’ HackIoT Hana Is an IoT Development Platform for SBCs

Wednus’ HackerIoT Hanna board is an IoT development platform that supports any single-board computer with a Raspberry Pi-style 40-pin GPIO header. The board was designed to work with the docker management solution ‘flat,’ which uses a heavily modified version of Portainer to make it compatible with Arm-based SBCs.

The board offers two modes of functionality, with the first being standalone mode, which functions as an IoT node that forwards data from connected routes (UART, RS232, RS485, etc.) to a gateway device in a remote location utilizing protocols such as Zigbee, 802.11, 3G/LTE, LoRa, and a host of others. In connected mode (combined with an SBC), HackerIoT Hana becomes an IoT gateway platform, aggregating data from node devices and processes them using the flat toolset and templates.

As far as hardware is concerned, the HackerIoT Hanna is equipped with an AVR (ATmega328P) microcontroller, RS485 (with surge/ESD protection), Xbee connection port, ENC28J60 Ethernet port, and an ICSP port for Atmel Studio programming. For power features, the board has an industrial-class input range of 12V to 24V DC and a high-efficiency power circuit of 3.3V to 5V (@ 1.5A Peak) DC.

Wednus is currently selling their HackerIoT Hana on Tindie for $30.23, and have options that cost extra — including fully assembling the board, adjusting the clock speed, adding sockets (GPIO, headers, etc.), and adding a prototyping kit for additional costs. They’ve also uploaded all documentation and source code on the product page to help get your projects up and running using the IoT development platform.
