As you may know, we have discontinued the all-beloved Gadgeteer modules years ago. We have since then looked and prototyped many alternatives, to bring you the ultimate smart-module-experience. We are glad to say that we have finally found all answers, and have checked all the boxes.
Welcome to the world’s first & only true smart modules!
- Any Host: Arduino, RPI, FEZ, PC, Phone…
- Any Interface: USB, SPI, I2C, and UART…
- Any Software: Python, C#, JavaScript…
- Any Setup: Stand alone, a link master, or slave to a host.
- Any Option: Hundreds of module-options for every need.
- Any User: Commercially quality and maker friendly.
- Any Budget: Designed with low-cost as a requirement.
- Any Ecosystem: Adafruit STEMMA, SparkFun Qwiic…
- Any Mounting: 5mm-pitch holes like Gadgeteer did.
- Unique Scripting: World’s only scriptable modules.
Welcome to DUELink (Dynamic Universal Expandable Link)!
We have completed most of the software, which includes the internal script plus host libraries (Python, JavaScript and .NET). The BigBang module is ready and is used to test the system’s stability, quality, and performance.
BigBang is the blueprint and start of it all. It is where DUELink gods get really creative and bring you hundreds of module species!
We have been sharing progress on the forum if you want to see sneak peek!
A Holiday Tree?
Some of our friends and partners will be receiving this awesome-looking holiday tree. We used this tree to further proof the DUELink scripting engine.
The latest “Coding Circuits” episodes talk about the design and manufacturing of these trees. Future episodes will talk about troubleshooting and coding these nifty festive circuits!
We have shipped as many as we could. If you didn’t get one, no worries, there will be plenty more to come.
From all of us at GHI Electronics, we wish you a happy, green, festive holiday season and a great coming new year!
