“Thunderboard React, along with our free firmware and source code, provides developers and makers with an easy way to evaluate and prototype wireless sensor nodes that connect to the cloud through Bluetooth low energy,” said Daniel Cooley, general manager of IoT products. “Our customers can now create more competitive, secure and useful IoT products that deliver cloud-based analytics and business intelligence for end users.”
Thunderboard React claims to simplify IoT design by providing the sensing, processing and wireless components needed to connect a battery powered sensor node to a cloud database. The on-board sensors measure motion, light and environmental conditions, and this real time sensor data is transmitted to the cloud over a Bluetooth connection. An intuitive mobile app displays the data on smartphones and tablets while enabling the user to control the board. No RF expertise is required to develop wireless sensing applications with Thunderboard React.
The energy efficient components on the Thunderboard React board enable developers to create IoT nodes powered by small coin cell batteries. The components can be integrated and modified to enable Bluetooth-to-cloud connectivity for a developer’s particular IoT application.
