But they are so limited! Limited processing power, limited features. And every new sensor or chip will cost you big bucks. I don't want a GSM shield for 80$ if a full smartphone is available for just 30$!\r\n\r\nTherefore: introducting JanOS. A fork of Firefox OS, that you can flash on your Firefox OS / Android smartphone. Full access to all device sensors / cameras / connectivity through Open Web APIs. It runs without a display, so write some code, remove the phone's mainboard from the casing, and you have a powerful, feature rich, cheap and JS powered IoT kit for all your needs.\r\n\r\nNot good enough? Then come to see a beautiful and clever Linux kernel hack that transforms your phones volume buttons into generic GPIO ports that you can attach external LEDs/sensors onto.\r\n\r\n## Speaker Bio\r\n\r\n![](https://s.gravatar.com/avatar/672b033bf66f18d40cff3278f12f8f90?s=256)\r\n\r\nHalf the day I'm a developer for Telenor Digital where I work on Firefox OS / IoT / Open Hardware. I'm a peer for Firefox OS and submitted over 200 patches in the past two years. Further I'm working as Firefox OS Evangelist, building community in countries where Telenor launches.\r\n\r\n## Some further info\r\n\r\nI spoke about the same subject at JSConf.eu / JSConf.asia, but since then I've been working on an official release, added GPIO port support, and thought of way more cool hacks. So it won't be a rehash of those talks :-)"}}
