WiFi i2c board for SPIKE and Robot Inventor Uart BUNDLE

€30.00 – €75.00

SKU: LMS-Esp-I2c-Wifi board-1.0 Category: Electronics

Description

This board is the ultimate third-party device driver for your LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, Robot Inventor, and SPIKE Prime models. It features an esp8266 which runs a separate MicroPython. It communicates over UART (Serial Rx/Tx) with your LEGO Device. Now you have access to the full power of all available i2c devices. The board has exactly the shape of a 5×7 frame to make it easy to mount on your LEGO Robots.

This Wifi SPIKE board makes these connections possible

SPIKE/Robot Inventor to 3v3 i2c. This supports a wide range of devices you can directly plugin.
SPIKE/Robot Inventor to the internet with WiFi
WebREPL to easily update the code on this board and make the bridge to i2c
Connect WS2812 NeoPixel RGB LEDs to your SPIKE Prime/Robot Inventor model
You can flash it from your EV3 with a new MicroPython using esptool.py. But that shouldn’t be necessary for normal operation.

Includes all possibilities from the LMS Uart breakout board

To make the deal sweeter, this product includes a complete LMS Uart breakout board. You can use that board to make these connections:

SPIKE/RI to SPIKE/RI UART connection
SPIKE/RI to EV3 UART connection
SPIKE/RI to OpenMV UART connection
EV3 to OpenMV UART connection
OpenMV i2c on pins 7 & 8 to grove or 0.1″ headers

In the SPIKE Wifi Board Bundle you will find:

A mounted and soldered board with the ESP8622 flashed with MicroPython.
2×8 pin female headers, 0.1-inch pitch,
2x 90-degree grove ports
a grove jumper wire
An LMS UART breakout board PCB
2×8 pin female long needle headers, 0.1-inch pitch
a grove port
2x 6 pin ports
2x 6 pin plugs which you can use with a spare Wedo 2.0 or LEGO Power Functions 2.0 wire.

The 6 pin plug shrinks perfectly on a repurposed Wedo or Power Functions 2.0 wire, no tools needed! I ordered the wires online from China.

THE PRODUCT DOES NOT CONTAIN WEDO/LPF WIRES. ONLY, THE PLUGS THAT YOU CAN SHRINK ON THOSE WIRES.

The Grove ports are not soldered, so you can decide if you want it or if you rather prefer 0.1-inch pitch header pins.

Warning: there’s no warranty for this product!
