BeagleBone Green Wireless

Compared to the SeeedStudio BeagleBone Green it has a 2.4-GHz wireless module(2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi + Bluetooth)on board, making it more suitable for IoT prototypes. Take Home Control Gateway for example, it can be used as the remote of a wide range of TVs, media devices and more — you connect with it over Bluetooth to control everything from your phone.

 SeeedStudio BeagleBone Green Wireless includes Built-in 2.4 GHz TI WLinkTM8 Module with two antenna solutions. The Wi-Fi feature supports AP + STA mode of communication, therefore you don’t need to drive installations but develop directly after connecting Wi-Fi with your devices.

The new board also complies with Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for audio control in automation projects, which receives and transmits stereo-quality audio in high resolution.

To take advantage of wireless features, SeeedStudio BeagleBone Green Wireless is able to support Node-RED installation to wire IoT. Additionally, the core of the new board integrates with MRAA library, so users can program with more Grove modules.
