====== Introducing the MiniBee ======

{{:projects:minibee:minibee_pcb.png?300 |The MiniBee circuit board}}
The MiniBee is a small, [[http://arduino.cc|arduino]]-like circuit board designed for the [[http://sensestage.hexagram.ca/workshop/|SenseStage project]], a collaboration between the [[http://www.idmil/org|IDMIL]] and [[http://www.chrissalter.com/|Chris Salter]]'s lab at Concordia University. The boards include the footprint for a [[http://www.digi.com/products/wireless/zigbee-mesh/|XBee]] mesh-networking wireless transceiver, creating compact, low-cost sensing nodes which we are now using for investigating [[wp>ubiquitous computing]] in the media arts.

The first batch of 100 MiniBee Rev.A boards have been manufactured, assembled and successfully tested :-)
