The Solar Powered IoT Device Development Kit provides an easy- to-use platform for the development of a solar-powered IoT device with BLE wireless connectivity. It includes the S6AE101A Energy Harvesting PMIC device. Also included in the kit is Cypress' EZ-BLE™ PRoC™ Module (CYBLE-022001-00), a fully integrated Bluetooth Low Energy module solution that offers high flexibility for a wide variety of IoT device uses. A USB port is provided by Cypress' USB-UART LP Bridge Controller device (CY7C65213).
Features:
The Solar Powered IoT Device Kit provides everything needed to develop a light-powered sensor node that transmits sensor data using BLE:
- Firmware provided for the following applications:
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacon, transmitting data at 1.5 sec intervals with ambient light as low as 200 lx
- Wireless Sensor Node (WSN), transmitting data at 6 sec intervals with ambient light as low as 200 lx
- BLE communication with a PC supported through the included BLE-USB Bridge that is pre-programmed with custom firmware for this kit.
- Operation using energy harvested from light as low as 200 lx supported with the included solar cell module, which eliminates the need for a battery
- Use of a vibration Energy Harvesting Device with an external diode bridge also supported (not included)
- Reference schematic, BOM list, layout data provided
- Expandable terminal on the Energy Harvesting Motherboard provided, enabling support for the following:
- Reset button for EZ-BLE Module
- JTAG header to debug EZ-BLE Module
- Expandable sensor interface (I2C/UART/SPI/GPIO)
- DIP switch for future expansion (Not mounted)
- LEDs for USB power and status
