2.4GHz Wireless Sensor Networking Out of the Box
Sunday, September 16th, 2007Nordic Semiconductor ASA and ANT have launched the ANTDKT3 wireless sensor network Development Kit.
The ANTDT3 allows the user to:
- Evaluate ANT as the practical solution for wireless sensor networks;
- Design wireless network control and sensor nodes based on ANT chips, chip sets and modules;
- Develop PC applications connecting to ANT products.
Key to the Development Kit’s ease-of-use is the inclusion of a number of modules, interface boards and software applications that are optimized for wireless sensor networking. Modules include RF drop-in modules based on Nordic nRF24AP1, ANT’s AT3 RF drop-in sensor development modules based on Nordic’s nRF24L01 and ANT SensRcore, plus various interface boards allowing ANT to be evaluated in embedded and PC environments. Also included is an ANT monitoring and control PC application (ANTware) and SensRcore configuration PC application (SensRware). In conjunction with the ANTDKT3, these software applications considerably ease wireless sensor node and network set-up and configuration by using a PC based GUI that requires no specialist programming knowledge.
