UNIHIKER - IoT Python Single Board Computer with Touchscreen
INTRODUCTION
UNIHIKER is a single-board computer that brings you a brand-new experience. It features a 2.8-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It is equipped with a light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, and microphone. With a built-in co-processor, it can communicate with various analog/digital/I2C/UART/SPI sensors and actuators.
UNIHIKER brings a whole new experience for developers with its pre-installed software, allowing for an incredibly fast and easy start. Featuring a built-in Jupyter Notebook (a browser-based programming environment), developers can program the single-board computer using a smartphone or tablet.
Of course, just like other single-board computers, UNIHIKER supports VS Code, VIM, and Thonny. The integrated PinPong control library allows developers to directly control UNIHIKER's built-in sensors and hundreds of connected sensors and actuators using Python.
The built-in SIoT service on UNIHIKER allows users to store data through the MQTT protocol and provides real-time web data access. The best part is that all data is stored within the device itself.
Compact, feature-rich, and user-friendly, UNIHIKER offers an innovative development experience for learning, coding, and creating. Unleash your imagination and embark on a new journey with UNIHIKER.

PROJECTS
1. Project: Top 4 UNIHIKER Internet of Things (IoT) Projects You Must Try
Introduction: In this article, we have meticulously handpicked a selection of IoT projects for your exploration. These projects encompass a wide range of applications, spanning domains such as smart homes, intelligent campuses, advanced transportation, and innovative agriculture.
2. Project: AI Desktop Assistant with OpenAI GPT, Azure Speech API, and Unihiker
Introduction: I made a project to build an AI desktop assistant using OpenAI's GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) technology and Azure Speech API.
To bring this project to life, I've chosen the hardware to make it with Unihiker. This device has a built-in touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and sensors for light, motion, and gyroscopic measurements.
3. Project: Pet Pot - Not Your Ordinary Planter!
Introduction: Have you ever wanted a plant that communicates with you? Well, that's exactly what Pet Pot is all about! Pet Pot is not just an ordinary planter; it's a smart planter with a unique personality.
Pet Pot uses high-tech sensors to understand what's happening in its environment. It pays attention to things like temperature, humidity, soil moisture, air quality, UV index, and light intensity. And guess what? It expresses its feelings through emojis!
4. Project: Making a Desktop Geiger Counter with Unihiker --- Real-Time Nuclear Radiation Monitoring
Introduction: I had the idea to use a Unihiker to make a desktop Geiger counter. It's a device to detects the intensity of ionizing radiation. A typical Geiger counter has a sealed inflated tube and display that counts detected particles over time. I'll share how I DIY'ed the Geiger counter, to help with checking radiation levels in daily life.
5. Project: Wireless UNIHIKER, Remote Control a Face Tracking Mecanum Wheeled Platform
Introduction: UNIHIKER Board and Mecanum Wheeled Platform of Elegance! Imagine that you can sit at home, without having to connect to a computer with complex wires, or lying on the ground to debug the mobile platform. You can elegantly control them remotely through the network to track facial recognition.
