Internet of Things (IoT) starter kit
In October 2013, U-blox, in collaboration with ARM, introduced the ARM mbed-enabled U-blox C027 ‘Internet of Things (IoT) Starter Kit’, a powerful, flexible and easy-to-use prototyping kit for designing wirelessly connected, location-aware Internet devices. The compact C027 kit, measuring only 54×98 mm, contains a u-blox ‘SARA’ GSM or ‘LISA’ UMTS/CDMA cellular modem, a ‘MAX’ GPS/GNSS positioning module, and an ARM 32-bit Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 512 kB of flash memory and 64 kB RAM, and is user programmable via USB. A CAN bus and Ethernet interfaces are provided. The board also provides a direct connector with 22 GPIOs to access components via I2C, SPI, UART and I2S digital audio. The C027 is an mbed-enabled board with Arduino-compatible connectors that can be easily stacked with additional expansion boards. A complete circuit diagram is provided with the kit.
