STMicroelectronics STEVAL-FKI001V1 Development Kit

STMicroelectronics STEVAL-FKI001V1 Development Kit is a development and prototyping tool enabling solution design based on Sigfox, BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) and sub-1GHz technologies. This development kit features a fully programmable Jorjin Technologies WS2118 Module, which embeds BlueNRG-1 system-on-chip for BLE functionality and the S2-LP Transceiver for sub-1GHz functionality such as LPWAN protocols. The kit combines the features of low power BLUETOOTH connectivity with the capacity of Sigfox wide-area networks.

The STEVAL-FKI001V1 Development Kit includes examples and recommendations regarding the simultaneous use of the BLUETOOTH and Sigfox protocols. Very low active RF and MCU current and low-power mode current consumption provide excellent battery lifetime, allowing operation with coin cell batteries and energy-harvesting applications. The STEVAL-FKI001V1 Development Kit uses the Arduino interface to help development, as it is compatible with ST Arduino shield boards featuring MEMS motion sensors, environmental sensors, and Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensors.
