Chariot, a full integration of Arduino with state of the art web-of-things technologies, is now available in sample quantities. The company’s 6LoWPAN self-organizing mesh and CoAP technology make it the ultimate vehicle for creating your Web of Arduino Things.

This plug-and-play shield renders your Arduinos into a low-power wireless mesh that implements the latest IETF standards. All of your Arduino resources (digital and analog pins, sensors, leds, switches, etc.) become accessible to local Arduinos on the mesh and the outside world through individual web-addresses. Atmel’sATmega256RFR2 2.4GHz low-power RISC processor is the engine for Chariot’s  web-of-things communication services.

Chariot seamlessly supports multi-Arduino experiments and wireless distributed sensor system prototyping. No configuration, commissioning or additional router equipment is required. From distributed bots to a network of wireless vineyard monitors to the most sophisticated industrial IoT prototyping, Chariot is the IoT solution for your next project.

Chariot can be combined with a Yún or an Ethernet shield on any Arduino, and to the company’s free software to effortlessly launch websocket backends that web apps can use to connect to all of the resources in your Arduino web-of-things. Beyond that, you can create Arduino application gateway sketches that link directly or through innovative services from suppliers like Temboo to your favorite cloud or communication services.
