Embedded solution is ideal for industrial use
Running on a NS Geode GX1-300MHz low power CPU, a Pentium MMX class multimedia embedded solution is ideal for demanding networking and industrial applications.
Ethernet operator interface for data acquisition
A C-programmable operator interface/HMI offers rugged I/O, built-in Ethernet connectivity, and optional A/D and touchscreen capabilities.
Based on the EmbeddedBlue eb506-AHC-IN Bluetooth Radio Module from A7 Engineering, Bluetooth capability is available in a complete Application Kit or as an Add-On Kit.
All components of the Bluetooth stack are implemented on-board so additional host processor code is not required.
Once a connection to another Bluetooth device has been established, the link has the appearance of a cabled serial connection eliminating the need for special wireless protocol knowledge.
UART communication facilitates the interface between the host processor and the radio module.
This UART interface may be used to discover, connect, and communicate with other Bluetooth devices.
An LED indicator for connection status is provided as a standard feature.
Features include:.
* Bluetooth radio modules plug directly into supported RCMs and SBCs.
* Simple serial UART communications and control.
* Seamless connectivity with any Bluetooth device.
* 2.4 GHz FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology ensures high reliability and is robust to interference.
* Low current consumption for long battery life.
* Complete with sample applications and source code.
* Internal Surface-mount antenna.
The Bluetooth Application Kit provides all of the hardware and software necessary to develop a Bluetooth application.
The Application Kit includes an RCM3100, EmbeddedBlue eb506-AHC-IN Bluetooth Radio Module, prototyping board, and miscellaneous cables and hardware.
The Application Kit also includes the Dynamic C Integrated Development Environment, Bluetooth drivers, libraries, sample programs, and manuals.
