The Neander is a microcontroller platform that is created for NUS Greyhats' X-CTF.
This board is based on the ESP8266 microcontroller series by Espressif and derives certain components from Adafruit's Feather and Sparkfun's Thing based on the same microcontroller platform.
- ESP8266 32 bit Microcontroller platform with Integrated 802.11 b/g/n
- Auto-Reset
- Deep Sleep option (enabled)
- 500mA 3.3V Voltage Regulator
- USB-Serial Interface (CP2102)
- 6 Buttons (including Reset)
- Lithium Polymer Charger
- Indicator LEDs (Charge, Power)
- Backlight LEDs and Switches
The Neander comes with an accessory kit which includes the following
- Lithium Polymer Battery
- MicroUSB cable
- Short Lanyard (For CP2102)
- 10cm Dupont Jumper Cables (10 each: M-M, F-F, F-M)
- Single Row Headers 1*40 pin
- Double Row Headers 2*6 pin
- 6 Jumpers
- 2 Stickers
The on-board USB-Serial Adaptor is based on a Silabs CP2102 chip.
OS specific drivers can be found on the manufacturer's website. A tutorial on how to use this device can be found here. The datasheet can be found here.
The USB-Serial adaptor is supplied as a breakout board. If you need a serial adaptor "out in the field", you can choose to break it and solder on any 2.54mm compatible headers for convenience.
To interface the serial adaptor with other serial devices with the CP2102 in-situ, you may solder the double row headers found in the accessory packs and disconnect (desolder) all 5 SMD jumper pads.
