Servo Expansion for Onion Omega2 & Omega2+
Relay Expansion for Onion Omega2 & Omega2+
World's Smallest Linux Server & WiFi built-in
What the heck is an IoT computer? It is a Linux computer designed specifically for building connected hardware applications. It combines the tiny form factor and power efficiency of the Arduino, with the power and flexibilities of the Raspberry Pi.
- The Omega2 is simple, even for people who are just getting started with building hardware.
- The Omega2 is affordable
With the Omega2, we want to lower the barrier of entry and allow everyone to take the leap into hardware development.
The Omega2 is easily expandable. We have designed a whole lot of expansions so you can add capabilities to it through simple plug-n-play.
The Servo Expansion adds 16 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) outputs to your Omega. Connect standard servos directly to the Expansion since each channel has its own 3-pin connectors, making it that much easier to get started with your project! This Expansion is great in any application that requires servos, like a robotics project or anything with moving parts. Given that PWM is so useful, you can also use this Expansion to precisely control LEDs or drive a DC motor using an H-bridge.
Technical Details
- Number of Channels: 16
- PWM Signal resolution: 12-bits resulting in a 4.9us resolution at 50Hz
- Minimum PWM Signal Frequency: 24 Hz
- Maximum PWM Signal Frequency: 1526 Hz

Omega2 is tiny so that it can easily fit into your DIY project or commercial product. It is less than 1/4 the size of the Raspberry Pi, and less than 1/3 the size of the Arduino Uno.
The Omega2 has integrated Wi-Fi and on-board flash storage. This means that it springs to life the moment you power it on. You don't have to worry about buying Wi-Fi dongles or installing operating system images onto external SD cards.
Using the Omega2 is just like using a desktop computer. We've built simple and intuitive apps for you to interact with the Omega2. We also have an App Store where you can discover even more apps! For the more adventurous, you can even build apps with our SDK and publish them on the Onion App Store to share with the world :)
An important benefit of running Linux is that the Omega2 can be programmed with whatever language you want. Save time by using languages and libraries you are already familiar with.
The Omega2 is seamlessly integrated with the Onion Cloud. This allows you to remote control it from anywhere in the world with our intuitive Web UI or RESTful APIs. You can also view the status of your Omega2 in real-time, and deploy software updates to it when it is in the field.
Using the Omega2 with the Onion Cloud is optional.
