LattePanda Windows 10 Single Board Computer
2016-08-31 | By Maker.io Staff
Start-up company LattePanda, based on Shanghai has cooked up quite a storm, with its new introduction of a very powerful single board computer that runs a full version of almost any operating system including Windows 10.
LattePanda is a complete Windows 10 computer on a single board. It includes everything a regular PC has and can do anything that a regular PC does. It is compatible with almost every gadget you know: printers, joysticks, cameras and more. Any peripherals that work on your PC will work on LattePanda. What makes this board stand out from the rest is that most other single board computers require a DC power supply which is usually between 2-3A, the LattePanda allows you to power the board from most standard micro USB wall chargers, which the majority of users will most likely have laying around at home.
LattePanda is able to install the full edition of Windows 10, including powerful tools such as Visual Studio, NodeJS, Java, Processing, and more. Using existing APIs, you can develop your own software and hardware projects on LattePanda as you would on a normal PC - C#, Javascript, Ruby and so on.
Not only can it be used as a low cost regular Windows computer, LattePanda is also designed with an Arduino compatible co-processor, which means it can be used to control and sense the physical world, just like an Arduino board. Whether you are a Windows developer, an IoT developer, a hardware DIY fanatic, interactive designer, robotics whizz, or a maker, LattePanda can aid your creative process with physical computing projects.
