The members of Arrow’s ARIS board family are among the most popular Arrow development boards for IoT applications. Here we present four of them. Even better, we are giving them away!
Being first on the market and packed with all the latest features is considered crucial to the success of a new product. But how do you achieve such a feat? Global technology provider Arrow Electronics has come to the rescue of start-up companies and design engineers with a suite of development boards intended to speed up product development.
The Arrow ARIS Edge S3 board has an LCD connector on the other side.
The members of Arrow’s ARIS IoT board family are among the most popular Arrow 'dev' boards. Here we present four of them: the ARIS Edge S1, Edge S3, IOT & Gateway Boards. Even better, we are giving a couple of them away! All you have to do is fill in the form to join the raffle. Five lucky winners will receive the board of their choice free of charge, no strings attached!
Arrow's ARIS Edge S1 and ARIS Edge S3
The ARIS Edge and Edge S3 are intended as Internet of Things (IoT) edge nodes. Based on a Renesas Synergy MCU (S1 for the Edge S1, S3A3 for the Edge S3), the ARIS Edge boards offer many features that make them suitable for smart sensing and IoT applications. A flexible multi-protocol radio module supporting Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Thread and zigbee stacks is available for communication with other devices and the cloud. Board sensing capabilities include temperature, relative humidity, pressure and ambient light level, and motion detection thanks to a 9-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) inertial measurement unit (IMU) with sensor fusion capabilities.
The Arrow ARIS Edge S1 has an Arduino-like form factor.
ARIS IoT Board (BLE) and ARIS Gateway (mesh)
The ARIS IoT and Gateway boards are ready-to-use Internet of Things platforms exploiting the Renesas Synergy development framework. Built around a Renesas Synergy S7 MCU with 240-MHz ARM Cortex-M4 core, these boards have a host of features suitable for IoT applications like hubs, gateways, and mesh networks, but they can also be edge nodes. For communication with the cloud and other devices Wi-Fi as well as Ethernet 10/100 are available. The ARIS IoT Board is equipped with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.1/4.2) module; the ARIS Gateway features a mesh networking module instead for Thread and Zigbee. Both boards have an NFC tag along with a crypto bootloader and support for over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. On-board sensors include a three-axis accelerometer, a two-axis gyroscope, and temperature and humidity sensors.
