Arduino-based IoT board comes with cloud service

Arrow Electronics has introduced a development board with sensor options, communication interfaces and connection to the Cloud for IoT designs.

Based on the Arduino form factor with an Atmel ARM Cortex-M0+ based CPU.

Called the SmartEverything board, it includes a Telit SIGFOX M2M module and service. There is GPS with embedded antenna for localisation.

SIGFOX uses a UNB (Ultra Narrow Band) based radio to connect devices to the network. UNB requires very low energy usage and UNB devices operate within globally available ISM bands (license free frequency bands).

Features of the development board include STMicroelectronics proximity, humidity, temperature and acceleration sensors. Acceleration limits are selectable in stages of ±2/4/8/16g.

The board has a TDK Bluetooth Low Energy interface for short-range connectivity that allows setting and control from a smartphone; and an NXP NFC tag with I2C serial interface for authentication.

Atmel-based crypto authentication enables implementation of a full security SHA-256 hash algorithm with message authentication code (MAC). Dynaflex 868MHz antenna and Linear Technology power management devices are also incorporated.

Embedded World Exhibition takes place in Nuremberg, Germany 24-26 February.
