Silicon Labs Thunderboard Sense Development Kit gives IoT developers the ability to connect everything

November 1, 2016 - Silicon Labs (also known as "core technology") has launched a complete sensor-to-cloud development kit to provide developers with a battery-powered wireless sensor node for the Internet of Things (IoT) All hardware and software resources required. Silicon Labs' full-featured ThunderboardTM Sense "Creative Development Kit" includes six on-board sensors, Wireless Gecko SoC for multi-protocol cloud connectivity, 8MB external Flash for OTA (over-the-air) updates, and Built-in SEGGER J-Link to simplify programming and debugging. Delivered alongside Thunderboard Sense also includes the IoT mobile app that Silicon Labs can use directly and connect to the cloud, making it easy to collect and view large amounts of real-time sensor data for cloud-based analytics and business intelligence.

For more details on the Silicon Labs Thunderboard Sense Development Kit, including pricing, availability and demo videos, please visit the official website. Users can download the Thunderboard mobile app from the Apple Store and Google Play; source code from GitHub. You'll find it easy to develop smart sensor node applications for health and fitness wearables, home and industrial automation, motorized equipment, asset tracking, and more.

IoT market research from ON World shows that by 2021, annual shipments of wireless sensor nodes will increase from 680 million units this year to 2.5 billion units, short-range wireless technologies (such as ZigBee®, Thread, Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi). ®) will connect most nodes to the cloud. Full-featured, easy-to-use development kits such as Thunderboard Sense and Thunderboard React make it easy for developers of all skill levels to create connectivity to the cloud for home, office, smart city, smart grid, transportation, agriculture and asset tracking Wireless sensing products.

As the latest development kit for the Silicon Labs Thunderboard family, Thunderboard Sense greatly simplifies IoT design by providing all the sensing, processing and connectivity options that connect battery-powered sensor nodes to the cloud. Onboard sensors measure data (such as mobile, optical, and environmental conditions, etc.) and then wirelessly transmit the data to the cloud. An intuitive Android or iOS mobile app displays these data for data aggregation and cloud analysis on the developer's mobile device.

Raman Sharma, director of developer experience at Silicon Labs IoT, said: "We designed Thunderboard Sense to inspire developers to build innovative end-to-end IoT solutions from sensor nodes to the cloud. Thunderboard Sense helps developers implement IoT Everything you think. They can quickly transition from proof of concept to final product, and develop a variety of wireless sensing applications with state-of-the-art cloud analysis software and business intelligence platforms."

Energy-efficient components on the Thunderboard Sense board enable developers to create wireless sensor nodes powered by small button batteries. Silicon Labs optimizes the firmware and mobile applications provided to save energy. Onboard sensors and LEDs can be turned on or off depending on the needs of the application.

Developers can program Thunderboard Sense using USB Micro-B cables and an onboard J-Link debugger. The USB virtual COM port provides a serial connection to the target application. Silicon Labs' Simplicity StudioTM tool supports Thunderboard Sense, and the Board Support Package (BSP) also gives users a leading edge in application development. With Thunderboard Sense, developers can develop wireless sensor node applications without RF design experience. With a USB cable to connect the board to a laptop, developers can build practical applications in minutes with Silicon Labs' easy-to-use Simplicity StudioTM tools, free mobile applications and IoT demos.
