n-PRO-40 has been designed to offer cost effective solution for users seeking to add LoRa connectivity to their projects with minimal previous experience in networking. This board from the n-Blocks family is based on n-Blocks PRO form factor.
n-PRO-40 board is a low-cost and easy-to-use development kit for quick evaluation and to start some development with LoRaWAN protocol. It uses an ARM® 32-bit Cortex™-M and is totally compatible with n-Blocks ecosystem. It is based on Murata CMWX1ZZABZ LoRa module and also features STM32L082 microcontroller. The exclusive combination of an Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core and STM32 ultra-low-power features, makes the STM32L082 the best fit for applications operating on batteries or supplied by energy harvesting. It is the ideal solution for the users having no or little experience of networking to design Ultra Low-power IoT projects.
Communication with the module can be achieved via UART, SPI, or I2C peripheral interfaces. GPIOs provide plenty of flexibility for connecting sensors, switches and status LEDs, and the module is powered from a 1.6 to 3.6 VDC supply.
n-PRO-40 is a HOST board with four Hirose DF30-series 60-pin low profile connectors at bottom side, following the n-Blocks PRO form factor.
To configure all the necessary tools to start working with the n-PRO-40 board, two main elements need to be downloaded by the user.
NOTES:
As stated, KEIL IDE (MDK) was chosen, this section explains the minimum configuration to improve our work flow.
