==== Hardware ====
  *[[http://shop.tinkerforge.com/|Tinkerforge Shop]].
  *The ARM Cortex M3 based CPU [[http://www.atmel.com/devices/sam3s4c.aspx|Atmel "ATSAM3S4C"]], with 256 Kbyte Flash ROM, 48 KBytes SRAM.
==== Services ====
  *[[http://www.iot-remote.com/|iot-remote.com]] - "A project from Tinkerforge. It is used as an example implementation of a controlling web site for the [[http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Kits/InternetOfThings/InternetOfThings.html|Starter Kit: Internet of Things]]".
===== Software =====
==== Original Server-side Software =====
    *"The [[http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/Brickd.html|Brick Daemon]] is a daemon (or service on Windows) that acts as a bridge between the Bricks/Bricklets and the [[http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/API_Bindings.html|API bindings]] for the different programming languages".
      *[[http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/API_Bindings_Java.html|Tinkerforge "Java - API Bindings"]].
      *[[http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/API_Bindings_Python.html|Tinkerforge "Python - API Bindings"]] for Python 2.x and 3.x.
        *On Python(x,y) with Python 2.7.6:
          *This installation procedure works for me: Execute "python setup.py install" as shell command, from the "source" directory.
          *The suggested installation procedure "easy_install tinkerforge.egg" did not work for me :-(, though it executes and finishes without any error message. It just copies the "tinkerforge.egg" file to the Python "lib" directory, which is not sufficient.
    *"The [[http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/Brickv.html|Brick Viewer]] provides a graphical interface for testing Bricks and Bricklets. Each device has its own view that shows the main features and allows to control them".
==== Third-Party Server-side Software ====
  *[[http://www.github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/Tinkerforge-Binding|GitHub "openhab", Wiki - "Tinkerforge Binding"]].
  *[[http://www.rwblinn.de/142k1t41.htm|Robert W. B. Linn "B4J WebApp rSwitchIt"]] - "B4J Project rswitchit - Remote Switch Devices",
    *"Idea: To use a B4J Webserver to control TinkerForge Bricklets accessed via Browser (device independent)".
    *"The solution build is based upon B4J, jQuery Mobile and the TinkerForge JavaScript API".
