Tessel 2

The Tessel 2 is a development board with on-board WiFi capabilities that allows you to build scripts in Node.js. This Tessel provides you with a connected hardware prototyping system that can be used in multiple different applications. Each board boasts thorough command line tools that make it simple to deploy your code, set WiFi credentials, and easily manage authentication needs. With the Tessel 2 you will be able to interact with the physical world from sensing to actuation to connecting with other devices. It should also be noted that though the Tessel 2 is programmable in JavaScript it does possess the ability to support other languages as well!

The Tessel 2 is equipped with a slew of on-board features including two 10-pin module ports to add sensors and other external hardware, two USB ports for camera peripherals and flash storage, a 10/100 supported ethernet port, and a microUSB connector for power and tethered programming. Each Tessel 2 offers an 802.11 b/g/n WiFi setup, a 580MHz Mediatek router-on-a-chip, a 48MHz SAMD21 coprocessor, and 64MB of DDR2 RAM with 32MB of flash.

Needless to say, the Tessel 2 has been designed from the ground up with the fastest possible path to producing your projects. Simply plug and play multiple modules and high-level APIs and you have a development board that is levels ahead of most other development boards!
