A very light IPv6 stack for Arduinos UNO and Xbee based on Contiki OS network stack.

If you are using our Arduino µIPv6 stack, you're probably wondering why we created a lighter stack ? Because Arduino UNO has to be IPv6 ready too ! With this stack, you'll be able to join a 6LoWPAN network using Arduinos UNO (which only have 2kB of RAM). With pIPv6 stack, we reduced RPL and CoAP functionnalities to keep an ultra small memory footprint ( pIPv6 acronym stands for " pico Internet Protocol version 6").

• IP network stack with low-power standards : 6LoWPAN, reduced RPL, and CoAP
• Compatible with all Arduino boards
• Based on Contiki OS network stack
• Can be used on top of IEEE 802.15.4, IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet), IEEE 802.11 (Wifi) MAC layers *

*: We are only providing XBee Series 1 interface for now.

To get started using pIPv6 stack, go to the wiki. The wiki contains a step-by-step tutorial and examples necessary to build your first Arduino UNO Wireless Sensor Network.

This stack is open source software : it can be freely used both in commercial and non-commercial systems and the full source code is available.
