Dev kits for wireless sensor networks

25 February 2015 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT Design Automation

New from Analog Devices is a suite of development kits enabling manufacturers of industrial equipment to add remote sensing and monitoring capabilities to their products via a scalable wireless network. They carry all the parts required for engineers to establish a working wireless sensor system in as little as 15 minutes, to remotely report and analyse various types of sensor data, such as temperature, humidity and motion/vibration.

Along with two multi-sensor-node boards, the kits include a base station connector, an emulator platform and a full-featured software package that includes a robust communications protocol stack and rich graphical user interface. The boards pack an integrated RF transceiver and ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller (ADuCRF101) as well as multiple sensor elements such as a triple-axis accelerometer (ADXL362).

The base station connector and emulator platform contained in the kits allow users to interface directly to a local PC for network settings management and real-time sensor data review. The software suite includes ADRadioNet software, a scalable, low-power, multi-hop wireless communications network protocol with an extremely small code footprint.
