Radiocrafts' development kits offer a quick and easy evaluation and prototyping solution for a wide range of applications

Image of Radiocrafts' RCxxxx-DK Series Development KitsRadiocrafts' RCxxxx-DK series development kits are designed to provide a quick and easy-to-use evaluation and prototyping solution for their 14 dBm output power modules.

They include all hardware needed to run a small network from a PC, allowing users to test the network capabilities with minimal development resources needed. For example, users can run a first range test in a customer environment.

There are several different RCxxxx-DK development kits for different product versions including:

  • Wireless M-Bus, RC232, SIGFOX, KNX, and Wize: two developments boards with a module, antennas, and USB cables
  • Tinymesh and ZNM: three development boards with a module, antennas, and USB cables

The RCxxxx-DK PC software tools are available and can be downloaded from Radiocrafts' website. The RCTools are intended to be used with the development kits, providing a complete prototyping solution where network characteristics can be tested and the configuration parameters can be selected.

Features
  • Breakout of all I/O pins for easy prototyping
  • Antenna connector
  • LED indicators for power, TX, and RX
  • Option to input VCC from external source
  • Optional battery operation for mobile testing
  • Supply current measurement
  • Programming connector that can be used to program the module with new firmware (only after agreement with Radiocrafts)
Applications
  • Smart metering
  • Electricity, gas, and heat water meters
  • Automatic meter reading
  • Readers and concentrators
  • Wireless sensor networks
  • SCADA systems
  • Industrial serial buses
  • Industrial controls
  • Alarm and security systems
  • Telemetry systems
  • Smart homes
