I am happy to announce that the ZigFlea board is currently available from Seedstudio. This board is the result of the Master’s thesis of Øyvind Hauback, whom I co-supervised at fourMs. The main point of the board is to provide an easy way of using ZigBee wireless communication together with Dan Overholt’s CUI32Stem sensor interface.
