As the premier creation of Remal IoT, Shabakah v4 is not just the most advanced board in our lineup but also a beacon of networking prowess and Internet connectivity. Designed to weave a web of connections, its name – translating to “web” in Arabic – reflects its core capability of connecting various devices seamlessly.
Shabakah 🕸️ is crafted to usher users into the realm of connectivity-focused applications with ease and confidence. Utilizing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 technologies, it serves as a versatile platform for a wide range of applications.
Shabakah v4 is more than just a development board; it’s a gateway to a world where your ideas can interconnect seamlessly. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a curious beginner, Shabakah v4 provides the tools and versatility to bring your innovative projects to life.
Shabakah is powered by Espressif Systems ESP32-C3-MINI. It is an extremely capable microcontroller with a lot of customizability regarding pin functionalities. We highly encourage users to check out these resources to get the most out of their Shabakah board:
Every Shabakah board comes pre-flashed with demo code to showcase some of its features. In the demo code, the RGB LEDs will cycle through a range of colors. You can use buttons 1 and 2 to adjust the intensity of the LEDs brightness. The temperature and humidity sensor will take readings every second and send them via serial output to a connected computer. If the humidity reading exceeds the threshold defined by HUMD_THRESHOLD the LEDs on Shabakah will turn red until the humidity falls below the threshold again.
You can find the above demo code and more after adding Shabakah to the Arduino IDE, selecting it, and then navigating to “File -> Examples -> Remal IoT Shabakah v4 Examples”
You can explore numerous other examples that showcase amazing capabilities. Although these examples were not written by us, most should work directly. However, some might require adapting the code slightly to make it run correctly on your Shabakah board.
Note: after installing Shabakah from the board manager and selecting it in the Arduino IDE, you can leverage its pre-defined keywords in your projects. These keywords will automatically be substituted with the corresponding values:
