Kit Features

  • Features the energy-efficient EFR32xG22E +6 dBm, 512 kB Flash, 32 kB RAM, 4x4 QFN32, 18 GPIO, 125 C, with ultra-fast low-energy cold start and low-energy deep sleep wake-up
  • The Dual Harvester Shield is based on e-peas AEM13920 PMIC, and can be used to harvest energy from one or two sources at the same time. Typical use case scenarios are complimentary photovoltaic cells, one photovoltaic cell and one piezoelectric source taking energy from vibrations.
  • The Kinetic Button Shield is based e-peas AEM00300 PMIC, to demonstrate a specific application, using a kinetic switch to temporarily power the Wireless SoC and transmit a sequence of packets.
  • The Battery Shield is provided for debugging stand-alone operation scenarios or evaluating battery lifetime.
