Just how small can a mini PC be? How about smaller than a post-it?

UP Core, the smallest single board computer with stackable expansions has launched its Kickstarter campaign more than 2 weeks ago. The campaign is flourishing, with 300 backers and over €40,000 pledged, plus a few new packages have just been released! These include an UP Core mini PC ready kit with Windows 10 Professional, UP Core Intel ZR300 Robotic Development Kit & UP Core Basler Embedded Vision Kit.

The introduction of UP Core rose heaps of excitement within the market, as UP Core is really tiny but really powerful! At first glance, the size is smaller than a post-it, but it comes with up to 4GB memory, 64GB eMMC and wifi/Bluetooth on board. All you need to do is connect a HDMI monitor and USB keyboard and then you’re all set to put it in your pocket and go to work. Also, we’ve just introduced a new reward with Windows 10 Professional and it costs only €209!

Building your own robot has never been much easier. The UP Core robotics development kit comes with everything you need to give life to your robot. The kit includes UP Core, high and low speed expansion boards and the latest Intel RealSense ZR300 camera. ZR300 is equipped with a comprehensive robotic software library such as: Person library, Object library and SLAM library. With conceptual computing technology, ZR300 is the best vision solution for your robotic project.

Last but not least, our third package is a solution for embedded vision. Embedded vision is widely used in machine vision, gaming and surveillance. UP Core Basler Embedded Vision Kit comes with UP Core (4GB memory/64GB eMMC), low and high speed expansion boards, Basler 5M pixel colour dart camera, S-mount lens, USB 3.0 OTG cable and a power supply. Easily follow a Quick Start Guide to download a pre-configured Linux image at UP Community. Alternatively, get the pylon software at Basler’s website if you would like to build your own image in the Windows or Linux version.
