SPIDER Automation STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IDB005V1D BlueNRG-MS RF Daughter Board | BLE 4.1
Description
SPIDER Automation STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IDB005V1D BlueNRG-MS RF Daughter Board is a high-performance evaluation platform designed to integrate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capabilities into existing embedded systems. At its core is the BlueNRG-MS low-power Bluetooth Smart IC, which is fully compliant with Bluetooth 4.1 specifications and capable of supporting simultaneous master and slave roles.
The daughterboard features a convenient SMA connector for attaching external antennas or radio frequency measurement instruments, alongside an SPI connector designed for easy interfacing with external microcontrollers or STM32L motherboards (compatible with STEVAL-IDB002V1 and STEVAL-IDB005V1 platforms). With ultra-low power consumption profiles and robust transmission parameters, it provides an ideal solution for battery-powered IoT devices and wearable sensor networks.
