WizFiBuddy - WizFi360 Based Work Assistance

Introducing WizFiBuddy
WizFiBuddy is a tiny office assistance hardware which utilizes WizFi360.This utilizes WizFi360 Wi-Fi module from Wiznet.The WizFi360 wi-fi module is a cost-effective WiFi module that supports both TCP/IP and microcontrollers.

Yes, you have a Wi-Fi module and possibilities are endless.

Currently it has following features

A Real time clock display with Wiznet's WizFi360 using SNTP(Simple Network Time Protocol) Server

Semaphore Device - Lets add a small semaphore on your work desk. You can use it to tell whatever you want to people around it. For Example, because you need some concentration and you'd like your colleagues not to disturb you or to tell the status of the work you are managing, or say which mood are you today. The possibilities are endless.

Grove_WizFi360 (I have designed a custom PCB which is compatible with Grove System ) - It's an Arduino compatible board. It has a white Grove connector, and make it convenient for using Grove products with the board.

This version of Grove_WizFi360 is not compatible with 3.3 v microcontrollers, because no connectors are provided for it.

The Grove_WizFi360 was featured on seeedstudio social media platforms
