JeeLink (v2)
The JeeLink is a small module in the shape of a USB stick, with an Atmel ATmega processor and a HopeRF wireless radio.
Note: the previous JeeLink version (JL1) has a different form factor and is now called a JeeNode USB.
Differences with the JeeNode USB:
- different form factor, enclosed in a plastic case
- no pins or port connectors to attach anything to
- includes 1 Mbyte of flash memory, connected via SPI
- uses a 10 ppm crystal for improved time-keeping accuracy
- no reset button
