Demokit med forskellige sensor-optioner
EBV annoncerer det såkaldte ‘sensorTAG demokit’, der gør det muligt at demonstrere mulighederne med forskellige sensorteknologier (in english).
EBV Elektronik announces sensorTAG, an innovative product that demonstrates various sensing technologies around a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication link in a small form factor.This new ‘Release’ from EBV is a one-stop-shop with sensorTAG, a battery-powered sensor Hub, and a USB-to-BLE nanoDONGLE (9x17 mm). sensorTAG provides an industry-standard sensor portfolio (STM, Freescale, TI) combined with TI BLE connectivity, and includes EBV system knowledge & support for related software and hardware. A NXP humidity/light sensor is also featured as demonstration device.
The Sensors chosen by EBV represent a complete offer enabled for low power operation and are either ‘high-runners’ in the industry or bring innovative and exciting features for the latest applications. The selected products are either MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) including accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer or relative humidity plus light sensor, and thermopile (contactless IR temperature measurement) enabling an important range of physical parameter monitoring.
BLE is an increasingly adopted standard for sensor-based applications, and with the recent official Android BLE support on top of the already implemented Apple IOS, BLE is becoming highly attractive to the consumer & medical markets, mainly due to its low power capabilities and associated low cost.
Some of the new technologies include the relative humidity, ambient light and temperature sensor from NXP (SEN300 – only as a demonstration device); RF balun for TI CC254x from STM (BAL-CC25-01D3), simplifying the RF design and limiting design issues with impedance-matching problems.
EBV sensorTAG monitor enables easy start-up and the ability to demonstrate all board features, while support of TI BTool enables deeper BLE protocol analysis.
