Multi-sensor kit boasts Bluetooth and 15 DoF for IoT node applications

Mouser now stocks the SmartBond Multi-Sensor Kit from Dialog Semiconductor. The smallest and lowest power wireless sensor kit on the market, the kit is built on the company's DA14585 SmartBond SoC and integrates TDK InvenSense motion sensors and Bosch Sensortec environmental sensors for 15 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) in IoT applications. The kit is a total multi-sensor node solution that allows engineers to produce multiple applications on the same hardware and support diverse use cases through firmware. The kit mixes Bluetooth 5 wireless communications and an Arm Cortex-M0 processor with a gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer and environmental sensors to help lessen development time, allow rapid proof of concept, and expedite time to market. The kit provides versatility across hardware and software that incorporates extensive cloud support extending from IFTTT for the creation of simple applets to the creation of advanced workflows for data analytics supporting cloud agents from all primary platforms. Through cloud connectivity, engineers can incorporate visualisation of historic data with remote sensor management, data analytics, Alexa voice command support, cloud-based actuator control, alert notifications, and more into their projects. The kit is supported by the company's software suite, which comprises application software running on the DA14585, cloud gateway software for Raspberry Pi hardware, web applications, and mobile applications for iOS and Android. Sensor data obtained by the onboard DA14585 can be processed locally by the unique SmartFusion software to allow data transmission with minimal interference and the lowest power consumption before transmission to a smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled Raspberry Pi gateway to the cloud.
