wUPER stands for wireless USB Peripherals. Just like UPER , it has LPC Cortex M0 MCU which allows many peripheral options,
however it also features sub-GHz radio transceiver module for controlling these peripherals wirelessly!
The idea behind the wUPER is to have a network of wUPER nodes, which are wirelessly controlled by the Carambola, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone,
PC or any other UPER-compatible device through a wUPER router. And just like in the UPER case, all this is done using nothing more than just a Simple Function Protocol.
The wUPER nodes are designed to save power as much as possible, while also maintaining interactiveness. This means that you can create a battery powered network, which allows you to have a portable light switch, remotely controlled heater, a sensor network, Christmas decoration (light) control and many more - You name it!
In short wUPER can be described as:
- Functional
- Wireless
- Power saving
- Simple
