Spark Core with u.FL Connector Support Antenna Cloud Service WIFI Development Board

Official announcement from Spark team:
- "During the summer we found the opportunities to further improve the manufacturability and RF performance of the Core. These changes have required more iterations on the board, more back-and-forth with the manufacturer, and more testing, pushing our milestones by a few weeks and meaning a small delay in shipping."
- You can check the up-to-date details on this website: https://www.sparkdevices.com/status
- The Spark Core is an Arduino-compatible, Wi-Fi enabled, cloud-powered development platform that makes creating internet-connected hardware a breeze. It is a tiny Wi-Fi development board, open source, widely successful funded Kickstarter project.
- This little board packs a punch: with a 72 MHz ARM Cortex M3, the best Wi-Fi module on the market, wireless programming, and lots of pin outs and peripherals, there's nothing you can't build with the Core.

Features
- Arduino compatible (through custom integration of Wiring libraries)
- Open Source
- Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
- Easy setup over Wi-Fi
- Developer friendly REST API
- 128-bit SSL encryption
- Wireless software updates
- Breadboard compatible
- Powered by the Spark Cloud

Easy Wi-Fi Set-Up Process
- Set-up steps:
- Enter your network name and password into the Spark App and press OK.
- That was it. Seriously. You’re connected.
- The Spark Core makes first-time configuration of your devices a breeze for both creators and users. The Core includes a brand spankin' new Wi-Fi module: the CC3000 from Texas Instruments. It features their unique setup process called Smart Config that allows makers and developers to bring their creations online in seconds.
