They claim is that for $19 and 19minutes of time, you can get this STM32 based wifi module working with your cell phone to do basic things like turning on a light etc via cell phone app. I read an article from a fellow who claimed it only took him 6 minutes. The article then went on to more time consuming things which involved writing his own app such that he could do more advanced things. I believe this module out of the box could be used for things like remote display of RPM etc.

Seems pretty nifty, but I think it would be easier, and way more cost effective to just throw in an ESP8266 or maybe a Bluetooth module of some kind. Even a 433Mhz RF board.

Is it possible for the RUSefi board to spare a serial port or maybe spi,i2c?

The Frankenso board has a ITEAD_HC-0X module which is good for serial. As well the ESP8266 has very limited internal programming capabilities which makes these both basically only good for serial interfaces. The key difference with the particle.io photon is that it comes with a powerful and easy to use processor, which includes a significant number of pins for doing things to the real world. So you often do not need an external processor.

Oh wow that went right over my head

Forgot you need to actually interface to things once you receive the data :faceplam:

Would be cool to see a rusPak XD

That would be a sweet display. Is that a standard-ish display which can accept a serial stream?

Its a racepak

CAN interface i believe.

The price is pretty high, But it does look good.


I just wanna know what kinda of LCD is that.
Am guessing its custom made for them.

Did you get the LCD part of your project up and running?
I feel like that is the way to go.
