BlueBrain sensor creates Bluetooth data collection system
At Sensors Expo, this week in San Jose, California, Fujitsu Components America will be exhibiting the BlueBrain development platform, at its booth (1029).
Fujitsu Components America announced its BlueBrain development platform for high-performance internet of things (IoT) applications, which is available with a development breakout board and interface board. The BlueBrain development plaform allows designers to easily create a wireless monitoring and data collection system via BluetoothR, says Fujitsu.
Jointly developed with Cratus Technology, the BlueBrain platform features a Cortex-M4 microcontroller from STMicroelectronics and a Bluetooth low energy wireless module from Fujitsu Components. The embedded hardware, software, and industry-standard interfaces and peripherals reduce the time and expertise needed to develop and deploy wireless, sensor-based products running simple or complicated
algorithms.
The breakout board provides switch inputs and light emitting diode (LED) outputs to test input/output (I/O) ports and functions, as well as programming interfaces for proof of concept and application development.
The interface board provides additional sensors and interfaces and may also be used in parallel to expand the development platform.
The BlueBrain Edge processing module attaches to a standard, 32-pin 1.6 x
0.7-inch electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) -style integrated circuit (IC) socket, or equivalent footprint, on a mezzanine board. It is designed to address industrial, automotive and telematics, smart buildings, agricultural, retail and civil infrastructure.
Fujitsu Components America markets and distributes electronic and system components and sub-systems throughout North and South America. Products include relays, connectors, input and pointing devices, touch panels, thermal printers, and wireless modules.
Cratus Technology develops sensor-centric products and systems with embedded algorithms for the connected world. Cratus serves the IoT market with products and sub-systems customised for markets using requirements derived from the needs of each application. In-house expertise assists clients by developing connected products. Cratus engages in development from concept to manufacturing support, including industrial design, electronic design, firmware and software development, server tools, and mobile or web applications. Partners range from semiconductor and component suppliers to contract manufacturers.
The enhanced BlueBrain sensor-based IoT system platform will be available this summer as a standard product through distribution.
