Features
- Small and light-weight
Since it's 48mm×48mm×13.9mm, small and light-weight, it can save space in development/mass production, and it's also easy to carry. - Low price
Compared to the MINICUBE, MINICUBE2 costs one-third the price, which can reduce your initial costs for development and mass production. - Mode LED
The appearance of the mode LED changes according to the status of hardware and software. - Self-testing function
MINICUBE2 has a self-testing function, which is used to detect faults in MINICUBE2 and perform maintenance.
