Maduino family will add two members-Maduino Zero WiFi and Maduino Zero 3G Cellular

Now our Maduino serial products have included GPRS, GPS, LoRa Radio, and so on smart home IOT Prototyping board. In order to enrich our Maduino family and easy for makers to DIY their own IoT platform. We will add the WiFi and 3G Cellular to the Maduino family.

So the Maduino Zero WiFi and Maduino 3G Cellular will start to design. We will base on the Arduino Zero compatible platform, 32Bit MCU ATSAMD21G18, it will be stronger and more suitable for complex scene development.

About the design of Maduino WiFi, we will select the ESP8266 or ATWINC1500. And the Maduino 3G will use the SIM5320E. If you have any suggestions or good ideas, please feel free to email us: info@makerfabs.com

   1. Maduino Zero Wifi will have two versions: ESP8266 and ATWINC1500 versions

      

      Maduino Zero Wifi -ESP8266 features：

· Cost-effective

· Abundant resources

· Easy to develop

· 802.11 b/g/n

· Integrated low power 32-bit MCU

· Integrated TCP/IP protocol stack

· WiFi 2.4 GHz, support WPA/WPA2

Maduino Zero Wifi -ATWINC1500 features：

· Single-band 2.4GHz b/g/n IoT Network Controller

· Extreme low power

· Serial host interface: SPI

· Security protocols supported:  WPA/WPA2 Personal, TLS, SSL

· Network services:  DHCP, DNS, TCP/IP (IPv4), UDP, HTTP, HTTPS

· Integrated into Atmel Studio 7

· Atmel Software Framework (ASF) Free Software download available

    

   2. Maduino_3G will base on SIM5320E， the features of this system are：

· Quad-band 850MHz GSM, 900MHz EGSM, 1800MHz DCS, 1900MHz PCs - connect onto any global GSM network with any 2G SIM

· dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 900/2100MHz WCDMA + HSDPA

· Fully-integrated GPS (Qualcomm PM8015 GPS) that can be controlled and query over the same serial port

· Send and receive SMS messages

· Send and receive GPRS data (TCP/IP, HTTP, etc.)
