EK2100-220
Development Kit
Get to know the world of SNAP
With the EK2100-220 development kit you will discover the exciting
possibilities of adding intelligent “things” to your IoT application powered
by the SNAP platform.
The kit features a series of application demonstrations that guide users
through a basic SNAP network setup. It includes everything needed for a
fundamental understanding of SNAP mesh networking and the capabilities
of SNAP modules.
Plug in the SNAPstick, power up the ProtoBoard, and you’ll quickly
understand the speed and simplicity of SNAP. Rather than focus on
complex networking or expensive development tools, you can focus on
the application.
Features
• Complete starter kit,
hardware and software
– device to desktop
• Includes the Portal Software
– a wireless application
development environment
• Hands-on tutorials step
you through the basics of
connecting a physical
device to a SNAP network
• Includes all required
cables, power supplies,
parts and connectors
• Everything you need to
interactively prototype
your IoT application
The kit includes:
RF220 SNAP Modules
The SNAPstick and SNAP ProtoBoard come
equipped with the RF220 SNAP module. Available in
surface mount and through-hole form factors, SNAP
modules are the link between the SNAP network and
the physical world.
SN171 ProtoBoard
With terminal blocks
exposing all 19 GPIO RF
Engine pins, a jumper
selectable RS232 port,
LEDs, and pushbutton,
the ProtoBoard gives
you an easy and flexible
platform for prototyping.
SN132 SNAPstick
The SN132 SNAPstick provides
an easy way to connect a PC to a
SNAP wireless network.
The easy way to develop your Internet of Things application
The first challenge in creating an Internet of Things
(IoT) application is device connectivity, so our
solutions begin with the foundation of the IoT, the
“things” that make up the network. The two RF220
SNAP modules included in the kit demonstrate
the power of a modular node technology. With
integrated radio, CPU, and FLASH memory, these
modules can form the backbone of new or existing
designs in a flexible form factor that reduces time
from prototype to production.
SNAP allows you to program intelligence into the
RF220 modules. Each module contains SNAPcore
consisting of a hardware abstraction layer, a
virtual machine for running scripts and a network
abstraction layer. Decentralization can be especially
advantageous with sensitive systems where response
time is critical. Programmability provides flexibility
in data collection and control methods. SNAP goes
beyond mere connectivity to give you a computer at
the “thing” level for processing and decision making
at the network edge.
The SNAPcore automatically networks nodes to
create a common communications infrastructure for
Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
When the time comes to scale an IoT application,
SNAP provides the framework for managing your
network of things. With SNAP you can wirelessly
update scripts running on modules or reprogram the
entire network should the need arise. Your solution
evolves with your needs to provide a level of “future
proofing” to help you remain flexible and responsive
when needs change.
