Pi add-on board for IoT development

21 February 2018 Computer/Embedded Technology

Cloudio is a Raspberry Pi add-on board with drag-and-drop programming on iOS and Android, voice assistant capabilities, IFTTT integration, unlimited cloud service, sensor monitor and dashboard, custom notifications with image and video, one-tap multi-board upload and more.

Supporting development with the board, a development kit is available which includes the GraspIO Studio app for drag-and-drop programming with an intuitive, block-based approach. This simple yet powerful mobile IDE abstracts the complexity of development to assist in accomplishing Internet of Things (IoT) development goals faster.

The board itself includes a 0,96” OLED display, proximity sensor, light sensor, temperature sensor, tactile switch, mini servo port, 3 x ADC ports for external sensors, 3 x digital output ports, RGB LED and a buzzer. It also comes with the GraspIO IoT unlimited cloud service to program and manage the board from a mobile device.

Cloudio Comes with 50 000 free preloaded calls and a lifetime offering of 100 daily non-cumulative calls. Speech recognition and voice control allow for the creation of voice assistants, while an in-app speech block enables the creation of real-time speech notifications, custom messages, or playing of recorded audio from the board. The ability to interface a Raspberry Pi or USB camera with the in-app camera block enables the capturing of images and videos, and the creation of GIFs and time-lapse videos.
