Prototypes PCB
PCB prototypes are in production! We’ll receive the first 10pcs batch (picus module wifi + first evaluation board) on 4th May
We’ll mount at record time and let you know about first testing….
Who wanna start first applications?

The first NEST: programming and testing PICUS
A new post from Kiev (UA) – Volcanic ash will allow me to come back in Rome?!? Anyway we are proceeding on the roadmap, volcanic ash or not!We decided to proceed with the samples of the WIFI module and in the same time to realize samples of a first NEST (evaluation...
Open Sensor Network: QUADRASPACE
Today I’m in Kiev but I’d like to share last days meeting.
We met Stefano Sanna, one of the inventors of QuadraSpace a really smart Open Project for Sensors interface. The idea is simple (when it’s genial it’s always simple): create a universal...
BootLoader
We are evaluating some different solution for the Picus bootloader.
The bootloader must be lightweight, flexible and must be of easy implementation for the host program on the pc. At the moment, we are looking at the ds30 bootloader, an opensource solution that...
Where the name openPICUS was born
This is not tech, but sometimes I like to share my stuff. It was 16th March 2010 when I started thinking about the name of this exciting project. We, developers, can create great hardware, software and so on….but when a name is needed….it’s a...
Mounting Options
In this first PCB release (prototype phase) we decided to avoid the side pads (for SMT mounting).
So Picus module will be mounted in the following ways:1. Male 26 pin 2.54mm pin header connector (that suits a Female pin header on your PCB)2. 26 ways flat cable...
PCB PicusWi-Fi Rev.0
We finished 5 minutes ago the first PCB version, we think we still need to fix something (silkscreen and some minor issues) but it’s ok to start prototypes now.
We will have the ready prototypes (10pcs) around 10th of April.
Bluetooth version will come 10...
