Cup Compute makes it affordable for everyone to start REAL ownership of infrastructure at home.
No more paying for home devices that are actually controlled by Cloud Compute remotely, with Cup Compute you can experience the advantages of having full control of the device you paid for.
Beside its cost and size, the most important feature of Cup Compute is how easy it is for everyday people to INDEPENDENTLY control 100% what it will or will not do.
Most Cloud Compute devices cannot be changed to function exactly as you like and probably will no longer work if the Cloud Compute is not available.
Cup Compute hardware is available at ultra low-cost e.g. from Aliexpress.

As shown in above table there is a 20% increase in AU$ price within 6 months, but we still expect the fully delivered cost of Cup Compute to remain around the price of a cup of coffee in many countries.
Considering that Cup Compute can replace all contact tracing QR code and Bluetooth Apps used during pandemics, it is a worthwhile public health investment for all governments for a the price that substantially LESS than that of a single vaccine shot.
Cup Compute's onboard battery charger support larger batteries, but 2000mAh is more than enough power for 24 hours of continuous operation for use in mobile and solar-powered applications.
Most owners would already have USB-C power supplies laying around, in those cases there is NO NEED for USB-C power cables, since they can just plug the Cup Compute directing into existing USB-C power supply.
For owners do NOT have available USB-C power supplies, they can purchase low-cost USB-C cables or USB-C adapters.
There are other accessories we can also shipped with the free sample, however just like the 0.5m cable, these accessories are NOT free and any increase in shipping cost needs to be paid for:
USB-C 5V 3A supply (Raspberry Pi Official Supply)
3.7V 2000mAh Li-Po battery with a JST PH 2.0 connector
You can take ownership of a Cup Compute in seconds by following a simple 2-step process:
Connect to Cup Compute's WiFi
Download Firmware using WiFi
Connect WiFi
Now it is time to connect the esp32 to your local WiFi Access Point. Using your mobile or computer, search for 2200d0510343 SSID (the esp32 functions as an Access Point when it has not been configured to connect to a WiFi Access Point) and the password is the password used when generating the firmware.
NOTE: your device may have a different name. In this example, the device name is 2200d0510343.
