RF Sensor Node Development Platform for 6LoWPAN and 2.4 GHz Applications

Description

The RF Sensor Node Platform is intended as a miniature development platform for 6LoWPAN and 2.4 GHz applications. The platform has three on-board sensors which includes a 3-axis accelerometer: a temperature sensor and two light sensors. The RF Sensor Node Platform can be a stand-alone sensor node or can be paired to either a PLC (Power-line communication) board or an RF interface board: making a hybrid node. The RF node supports 2.4GHz RF protocols which includes 6LoWPAN or ZigBee®. Since the links between the nodes can be wired and/or wireless: hybrid networks offer better reliability and noise resistance than traditional nodes.

Features
  • On-board 3-axis accelerometer: temperature: and light sensor allows for multiple parameter sensing Low power MCU and RF Transceiver allows for longer battery life High efficiency charge pump allows for low power (1.2V) operation USB and JTAG interface for onboard programming and debugging Small development platform for 2.4GHz/6LoWPAN RF solutions
Applications
  • Wireless environmental sensor
  • Glass break detector
  • Door & window sensor
  • HVAC fluid leak detector
Product Categories
  • MSP430 microcontrollers
