Starter kits connect Bluetooth sensors to the cloud
Summary
The starter kits include the Sentrius IG-60-BL654 gateway with Amazon Web Services (AWS), plus three BT610 Bluetooth 5 sensors, and three thermistor cable assemblies for temperature sensing. Engineers can gather data from the BT610 sensors and collect the data with the IG60-BL654 gateway before sending it to the cloud via AWS IoT Greengrass, while available iOS and Android mobile apps enable fast, in-field provisioning. The IG60-BL654 gateway is based on Laird Connectivity’s 60 series module and BL654 embedded Bluetooth module with Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 system-on-chip (SoC), providing a powerful platform for Bluetooth 5 long-range sensor-to-cloud applications. It supports virtually any industry-standard external sensor through a wide range of interface options, such as general-purpose analogue inputs, digital input/output to I²C, SPI, and UART, or in combination with a sensor cable assembly. The BT610 is fully certified for FCC, ISED, EU, RCM, and MIC, and is Bluetooth SIG listed.
