For a geek, we should use it like this :)

PS: after around 20seconds, you will find VoCore2 on your computer wireless list :)

 

You will not only get the VoCore but also its full hardware design including schematic, circuit diagram(PCB); full source code including bootloader, system, applications. You are able to control EVERY BIT of your VoCore.

 

 

This is for beginner or the people just want to use it as a wireless router. You do not need any hardware skill, a few clicks on the web interface from your computer/mobile browser, the wireless music/camera/file share will be ready, just like magic.

It exports VoCore2's microSD port, ethernet port and USB2.0 port, and has four channels of AD converter and one channel of DA converter able to connect to various of sensors, we also added an onboard driver-free serial port to USB for the developers.

For me, I use one as a file server to share pictures&videos with my family; one connect to a webcam, to keep secure the door and windows; one plug into a microphone, voice control my smart household appliances; and now I am using it as a VPN router secure me across The Great Firewall and write down words in indiegogo and facebook. :)

The Ultimate dock is still too big for you? This one is even smaller. We designed it specially for music. The music transfer though WiFi is 100% pure without any noise, much better than bluetooth.

It is designed to connect to the device support DLNA or Airplay protocol.

 

This one is for the geeks develop internet of things, only 25.4 x 25.4 x 2.8mm, easy to assemble on any PCB board. It is small but complete, runs Linux, and able to code in python/ruby/nodejs/javascript/... directly, super easy.

PS: in fact, you can not feel how small it is until you hold it in your hand :)

 

Our new family member. It is not that powerful as VoCore2 but it has a low price, good for students study and use it for experiment. With castle holes(half-hole) at border it is easy to mount on your customized board.
