eRIC Arduino Shields
eRIC Arduino Shield Kits
This ‘shield’ allows Arduino™ boards to communicate wirelessly using proprietary easyRadio technology.
Key Features of the eRIC Arduino™ Shiled
- The essence of these devices is ‘easy’. Host Arduino™ boards can send and receive (half duplex) up to 250 Bytes of data per packet that will be seamlessly delivered and presented to all other hosts within range. There is no need for any complicated ‘bit balancing’ or elaborate coding schemes. ‘Easy’: Data In and Data Out!
- These devices provide considerably greater range (typically 200m) and less power consumption than similar Wi-Fi or Bluetooth dongles operating in the overcrowded 2.4GHz bands.
- Frequency, bandwidth, power output and data rate can (optionally) be configured to allow multiple devices to communicate free from interference from each other and any other RF devices.
- Addressing and implementation of networking (point to point, peer to peer, mesh) can handled by Arduino™ application software thus providing flexibility and simplicity.
- An optional on-board 4 pin header allows connection of an external FT232 USB adapter device to configure the easyRadio module if need be.
- Transmit, Receive, Busy and Power LEDs: Diagnostics.
- Integral SMA Antenna connector: Allows use of extension cable for optimal antenna position.
- Configurable RF parameters (optional): Fine tune for optimum performance.
- Up to 180 Bytes per packet: Ideal for ‘Sense & Control’ applications.
- Built-in Temperature Sensor: Usable by host program.
- Addressing and implementation of networking (point to point, peer to peer, mesh) can handled by Arduino™ application software thus providing flexibility and simplicity.
- An optional on-board 4 pin header allows connection of an external FT232 USB adapter device to configure the easyRadio module if need be.
