Nordic Semiconductor announced that its Nordic Thingy:52 IoT Sensor Kit was named winner of the highly competitive development kit category by the judges of the 2017 Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards. The ACE Awards - held in Silicon Valley in conjunction with Embedded Systems Conference - are a renowned awards programme which showcases the industry’s most innovative electronics products.
Nordic Thingy:52 is a development tool targeted at IoT wireless sensor projects and based on Nordic’s nRF52832 Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) system-on-chip (SoC) and S132 SoftDevice RF software protocol. The sensor kit enables an app developer with no firmware coding expertise or high-level development tools to quickly design and demonstrate Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and associated mobile device and Internet apps.
The functionality of the Thingy can be configured over-the-air via a Bluetooth API. That makes it possible to create demos and prototypes without actually programming the board itself. The Thingy is built around the nRF52832 Bluetooth 5 SoC. It connects to Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, laptops, tablets and similar devices, and sends data to/from its sensors and actuators to an app and to the cloud. It comes with the accompanying Nordic Thingy:52 app for iOS, Android and a web app.
Nordic Thingy:52 was shortlisted in the development kit category alongside three other major semiconductor vendors from the USA and Japan, but was adjudged by a panel of 15 industry experts as the winner against criteria including timeliness and suitability for target market, breakthrough technology and community interest.
