====== DIY Wireless Bug(s) ====== Welcome on the DIY Wireless Bug(s) community website. DIY Wireless bugs are small and cheap embedded devices used to build a simple wireless network. This website provides informations to build this kind of network. ===== Why another protocol / board ? ===== We decided to produce our own wireless protocol and board due to various facts : * Zigbee isn't an open protocol (requires licence) * No really opensource Zigbee stacks exist (we're not able to distribute them ..) * Most zigbee stacks are not hobbist friendly (requires special compilation tools, lot of code..) * Zigbee requires lot of flash/ram (96Ko used by bitcloud for example) * Zigbee boards aren't cheap 23$ for the basic XBee * Zigbee boards aren't hobbits friendly (requires some custom boards, connectors ..)
