Denver, CO-based technology company, Sensor Maestros, has released a rapid prototyping platform designed for indoor air quality monitoring, wireless sensor data-logging, and other IoT applications employing Bluetooth LE wireless connectivity.
The ‘smSENSR-LOGR’ platform has standardised pluggable slots (smBlocks) for plugging-in different I2C, SPI, RF, USB-UART and power management devices. The smBlocks all have standardised pinouts which allow a user to rapidly build a wireless sensor system utilising small form-factor breakout boards. smSENSR-LOGR is Arduino Rev 3-compatible and was designed in particular to mate with Nordic Semiconductor nRF52 DK (development kit) evaluation boards.
Sensor Maestros is initially releasing a firmware project that can be used with the smSENSR-LOGR platform configured for its proprietary ‘IAQ-LOGR’ indoor air quality monitoring/data-logging application. This firmware application will be released as an open-source project on the Zephyr, IAR and Segger Embedded Studio platforms. Additional firmware applications will be released on Zephyr. The IAQ-LOGR firmware operates as a connectable beacon and monitors temperature, humidity, ambient light and CO2 levels, and performs data-logging to a Serial Flash. The firmware is currently targeted for Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52810 and nRF52832 SoCs, and will soon add capability for the Nordic nRF52840 SoC.
