ChainBoard is the next big thing for hardware enthusiasts, tinkerers and makers wanting to go "decentralized"

|N|Solid01|

Having worked on an Underwater WiFi project before, I have had the
experience of utilizing multiple microcontrollers in order to achieve
what I wanted. Having a bunch of pieces of hardware wired together
seemed inefficient, and I looked at what the main components I needed
were. This led me to make ChainBoard. ChainBoard is meant to be a high
end microcontroller and personal computer that has many components
needed to build complex LoRaWAN, bluetooth, wireless and sensory
projects. You essentially have what is needed for low-energy bluetooth,
mesh networking, LoRa transmission, UART-based communication modules,
and many more all into a single board. |N|Solid02| |N|Solid03|

\*Some of the items that were in the above table included the below main
components:

- 32-bit MCUs
- 915MHZ Lora Transceiver
- 928MHZ Lora+Bluetooth Module
- Bluetooth 4.2 BLE Module
- IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Low Energy Bluetooth Module
- USB to UART Bridge Controller

Not only can you use ChainBoard for the project ideas I demonstrated,
but there are ways it can be utilized for much more. For example, one
can create a smart plug or smart home system with ChainBoard. One can be
able to have ChainBoard act as the mainframe for a small mesh network
with multiple low cost bluetooth devices. One can create their own
LoRaWAN transmission client. Somebody can even make a microcontroller
controlled generator type system or utilize ChainBoard for an
interconnected security system.

Given the capabilities of the components, and its cost, we didn't want
ChainBoard to be minimal in its applicable use cases. We wanted to
create something that people may start building untop of. We wanted
components that can be utilized for decentralization
