The Bee socket (o) is now connected to a separate UART. This is powered off completely when no USB cable is connected. The On/off switch is located at (l) and a header for an external switch at (m).įor the USB connection a FTDI chip (n) has been used again. The SODAQ Mbili now has a JTAG header (k). This allows the real time clock to continue ticking for several days after the battery has been removed. The DS3231 real time clock chip (h) is now powered by a super capacitor (i). The SODAQ Mbili has a ATMega 1284P microcontroller (f) and two user programmable LEDs (g). Just like the SODAQ Moja the SODAQ Mbili has 16 Mbit serial flash (e). The standard 6 pin ICSP header (d) can be used to program the SODAQ Mbili, including loading or reloading the bootloader onto the board. These sockets are for sensors that need to be powered permanently or for sensors which have a low power draw. The Grove connectors in the Always On row (b) are always powered on. The LED © is lit when this row is powered on. These sockets are ideal for sensors which need to be powered down between readings. This is controlled through the digital pin GROVE_PWR (D22). The Grove connectors in the Switched row (a) share a common switched power line. Bee socket for Xbee, GPRSbee or other bee style modules.With the switch in Off position the solar charge circuit is still active and the RTC clock is still powered. 12 Grove connectors connecting Digital, Analog and I2C pins (Switched or always on).

DS3231 Real Time Clock and Temperature sensor, RTC backup powered by LiPo battery.Solar charge controller with JST connector for Solar Panel up to 2.5W.Power supply by LiPo battery (3.7V) or USB cable (5V).Atmega1284P Microcontroller running at 3.3V and 8MHz.Getting Started ¶įollow the getting started guide to verify you use the correct URL and update your boardfiles to the latest version. The board has built in sockets for Grove modules a realtime clock extended flash memory USB on-board and the Bee socket can take any WiFi/RF/XBee or other compatible plugin for communications instead of our GPRS module ( GPRSbee). You can connect a LiPo battery and a solar panel and keep it gathering sensor data without having to charge it. It's designed for connecting things efficiently, running off-grid with built-in, ready-to-go solar power. The SODAQ is a multi-feature microcontroller board that lets you connect sensors and devices to the internet, quickly and with no fuss. All the experiences and comments we got from our user we combined in this new board, which one of the most rich-featured Arduino Compatible boards in the market. This is the successor to the SODAQ Moja that we Kickstarted last year. The SODAQ (Solar Data Acquisition) is an Arduino compatible data acquisition board designed by Gregory Knauff.
