The SparkFun IN100 NanoBeacon Board offers a 2.4 GHz wireless low-energy BT beacon breakout with exceptionally low power consumption features and minimal programming required. The board features the IN100 NanoBeacon™<\/sup> from InPlay™<\/sup> that is compliant with several standard 2.4 GHz protocols and has several built-in configurable features for device behavior that can drastically reduce power consumption allowing for continuous operation in the field for multiple years even with a connected device. This board is a great option for wireless sensor monitoring, asset tracking, retail beacons or even making your own beacon tag for real-time location monitoring.<\/p>\n\n The IN100 can be powered by a single 3V coin cell battery so we've added a 12mm coin cell battery holder (CR1225 battery not<\/strong> included) to power the board. We've added a Qwiic connector to allow for easy integration into our ever-expanding Qwiic ecosystem<\/a>. One side of the board breaks out the UART interface to a 0.1\"-spaced through-hole header to connect a Serial Basic<\/a> for serial communication. The other side breaks out four of the IN100's GPIO pins (4-7) as well as the two I\/O power switch pins (SW0 and SW1). Lastly, we've included a \"Notes\" space on the back of the board for you to write any notes or labels to differentiate between different NanoBeacon boards at a glance.<\/p>\n\n This version is designed for applications requiring a rapid implementation with minimal assembly and modification. It includes male headers soldered to the 0.1\"-spaced through-hole pins on the board and does not include the power LED or reset button as expected applications most likely will not need those two components. Users looking for a prototyping option for development on the IN100 before integrating it into a production environment may want to consider getting the SparkFun NanoBeacon Lite Board - IN100<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The InPlay NanoBeacon Config Tool allows for software-free programming of the IN100. This tool provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to select settings and configure the module removing any need to perform any tricky programming for advertising and pairing to send and receive data packets.<\/p>\n\n The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System<\/a> is an ecosystem of I2<\/sup>C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can\u2019t hook it up wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Documents:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n SparkFun NanoBeacon Board<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\n The Config Tool offers a testing \"Run in RAM\"<\/b> mode for many settings but I2<\/sup>C is not<\/i> available in the RAM testing mode. Users connecting I2<\/sup>C devices to the board should ensure their code works before clicking the \"Burn\/Program\"<\/b> button. \n<\/div>\n\n
