This is credit card size small form-factor Linux system-on-module, destined for demanding embedded applications in visual computing. We are using this board for the applications of our embedded systems because it offers enormous GPU processing in a tiny computer that only consumes 5-20 watts of power. Aside from the GPU, the CPU is certainly not slow with four 64-bit A57 ARM cores. And, you have 4GB of RAM and 16GB of eMMC storage, so you should be able to load your application onto the onboard storage and throw around big chunks of data in RAM. The SATA interface gave a great performance when paired to an SSD, and the two antenna 802.11ac gave speeds up to Gigabit Ethernet over the air. Specifications

Now you have some basic idea of the technologies we are using here. So let's get our hands dirty. First, we have to set up the Node js libraries correctly to handle the serial data and open a WebSocket. So simple what we here going to do is getting data from USB and put them into a GUI to visualize our data nicely. So for this tutorial, I'm going to use Arduino as my data source. Piratically this will be your sensor or devices which you are using. Here http://www.highcharts.com/  Highcharts makes it easy for developers to set up interactive charts in their web pages. This has good community support and this is best for our works. 1. First step clone this repository https://github.com/akilawickey/nodejs-serial-frontend/tree/master Here is the Arduino sketch sample.ino which I'm using to emulate data which you can find inside the repository 1: /* 2: * This code will emulate USB data 3: * 4: * 5: */ 6: // the setup function run
