BUGbase 'Hiro P' Edition
The BUGbase 'Hiro P' Edition is a fully programmable, GNU/Linux computer, with 4 expansion slots for inserting BUGmodules.
We will begin to fulfill orders placed now in October.
The 'Hiro P' Edition does not include WiFi.
The BUGbase 'Hiro P' Edition is the “anchor” of the BUG ecosystem. Each BUGbase is a fully programmable computer, with a CPU, RAM, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, USB, Ethernet, MMC, and serial interfaces, and a small LCD with button controls. BUGbase also has 4 slots in which any combination of BUGmodules may be inserted. BUGbase programming is done with the BUG SDK and BUGnet.
The BUGbase 'Hiro P' Edition is in extremely limited production. All Hiro P owners will get a free "von Hippel" module and be entitled to a 802.11b/g module at production cost (ship dates for both these modules are TBD).
