Hi.
I’m starting to love this project and devices
But I’ve got one question.
My goal is to use DASH PRO to send, by sms, data from my sensor network (WPAN), using DASH PRO like a gateway.
So I’m looking for a shield for DASH PRO that can be programmable to use wireless protocol (802.15.4)
(like wifi-shield for arduino)
How can I start?
Do you have some hint for me.
Thanks.

Hello Gabriele,
I am beginning to develop using a Dash Pro. Would you mind telling me what OS you are using? Also wi-fi…have you seen ESP-12 ?

Pat Jackson
Do you mean the OS that I use for developing?
I’m not start yet to write but I’m sure I’ll use Linux!!
For wifi…what about this?

If I buy a DASH PRO and a ESP-12, how can I program?
I’ve experience only with Arduino but I still don’t have a clear idea about “how to write code”?
Is there a documentation/manual for developers?
I only see the API doc (very good).
thank you
Gabriele
Try this for esp information… http://esp8266.com . There is a release for ArduinoIDE.
Hey @gcarboni1,
We don’t currently offer a shield to do this for you, but we do have an XBee-footprint shield in the works that could be used as a part of such a solution.
Shoot us an e-mail over at support@konekt.io and we’ll make sure we get you early access to that shield and accompanying example materials.
Thanks,

Hello Gabriele,
We are offering up the Shield-Shield, which connects the Dash / Dash Pro to any Arduino shield you would like. You would install both a Dash and a board that supports 802.15.4. Viola.
Additionally, since the Dash is a development board, you can place it on a breadboard and connect to any other device via UART / SPI / I2C / CAN, so if you find a board you like that doesn’t have an Arduino footprint, you can still make connections.
If you do want a shield-shield, you can pre-order from our store: https://dashboard.konekt.io/store/
