OBJEX Link v1.5

Overview

OBJEX Link v1.5 is the default version of the series. This version of OBJEX Link is designed to provide high computing power. With the compromise of slightly increasing power consumption. The board is very compact and can be used for various IoT applications and more. It is possible to install two M0 modules or one M1 module.
IoT Applications: Smart Home & Cities, IIOT, Predictive Maintenance, Agriculture Automation.
It's also ideal for rapid prototyping, advanced research projects, and robotics projects.
