Collection: PHPoC Programmable Internet of Things (IoT) Boards & Gateways

Envistia Mall is the authorized U.S. distributor for Sollae Systems PHPoC IOT development boards, modules, Arduino shields and expansion modules.

What is PHPoC? 

PHPoC, or PHP-on-Chip, is an expansion of the widely-used web development language PHP, implemented on a small chip. It takes advantage of the powerful features of PHP and adds extra features to become a powerful programming language for IoT development. PHPoC can be used to not only develop dynamic Web pages but also to monitor and control IoT electronics.

PHPoC's syntax is almost the same as PHP, but adapted for embedded systems. PHPoC offers almost all of the core functions of PHP. and adds new functions that are used to interact with hardware peripherals such as I/O, UART, I2C, SPI, ADC, TIMER/COUNTER, and RTC. PHPoC can create a variety of web pages to suit your environment and perform other network functions such as sending email or accessing the database. 

PHPoC (PHP on Chip) development boards and modules let you develop your application on embedded devices as easily as on your computer. With supported libraries, you can develop an IoT device, or a complex IoT system, with some simple lines of code without worrying about designing hardware.

What are PHPoC IoT Boards?

PHPoC IoT boards are equipped with most of the basic hardware interfaces (I/O, UART, I2C, SPI, ADC, TIMER/COUNTER, RTC) to interact with all kinds of sensors or actuators.

A variety of expansion boards that dock onto the IoT boards are designed to add more advanced capabilities such as relays, DC motor controllers, stepper motor controllers and RS232/RS485 communications to the PHPoC IoT Boards.

Two models of the PHPoC IoT boards are available. The PHPoC Black (P4S-341) offers both wired Ethernet and wireless Wifi internet connectivity and the PHPoC Blue (P4S-342) model is 802.11b/g wireless.  

For industrial and OEM IoT applications, the P4M-400 OEM PHPoC Module, along with the P4M-400-SKE Starter Kit and P4M-400-DKE Development Kit, offers the capabilities of PHPoC in an economical OEM module.

What are PHPoC Arduino Shields?

With a PHPoC Shield for Arduino, you just need to develop the application on Arduino. With its powerful libraries and built-in web application, the PHPoC Arduino Shield provides the bridge between the Arduino controller and the internet. The PHPoC Arduino Shields are available in two models. The P4S-348 offers both wired Ethernet and wireless Wifi internet connectivity and the PS-347 model is 802.11b/g wireless. 

A variety of expansion boards that dock onto the PHPoC Arduino Shields are designed to add more advanced capabilities such as relays, DC motor controllers, stepper motor controllers and RS232/RS485 communications.
