RIIM overview
The RIIM network consists of these key elements
The IPM module
oThe IPM module can be configured as root (border router), mesh router or leaf node.
As a root node it acts as the base of the mesh network. It can connect to an external
network via ethernet or custom user application on other interfaces such as UART
As a router node, it will be able to transport packets in the RIIM mesh network
As a leaf node, it is not able to transport packets to other nodes except its parent. This
mode uses the least amount of energy.
oAll modes supports customer ICI applications and external connections. Applications use the
same RIIM Software Development Kit (SDK) for all node types.
- The RIIM SDK
oSoftware development kit with application frameworks and tools for creating and uploading
end network configuration and customer applications to the RC1882CEF-IPM
- The RIIM Border router, a complete router that is based on the RC1882CEF-IPM module that
connects the RIIM network to the Internet.
Below is an illustration of the different elements and the documentation available

Quick Start
The development kit is programmed with an out-of-the box application that allow the user to make wireless
connection and see data coming through the network. The example code pre-loaded on the development kit is
also included in the RIIM SDK.
Sensor Board
Preloaded with an application that automatically joins the network, read on-board
temp/humidity sensor SHT35 and sends data as JSON objects to the border-router-
board.
Development board
Preloaded with a router application that will operate as a mesh device and forward
message. Device auto joins the network.
Border router board
Preloaded with application that starts the network as root node. Packets received to this
device is sent on UART.
Step-by-step setup
Mount antenna on all three boards. (angled antenna on border router board)
Power up the Border router board
Connect PC to console input and open a terminal program to monitor this port (Putty, LookRS232,
Teraterm, YAT etc). Baud rate 115200, 8N1, no flow control.
Power up the Development Board through USB micro connector (Can be powered from PC)
Power up the Sensor Board through USB micro connector (Can be powered from PC)
Observe data being received at border router board though terminal program.

Powering the Sensor Board
The sensor board can be power in several different ways, thus giving flexibility and ease of use.
Power source
Jumper position/RED
Comment
USB power 1A
VCC - VCC_EXT
Make sure to use a USB power source
capable of 1 A. A PC does normally not offer
that high current
Extern Volt 4-11 V
/9V battery
VCC - VCC_EXT
Connect through pin holes at edge. Here a
9V battery can also be connected.
NB: Using VCC > 6V, continuous
transmission test mode cannot be used.
Battery 3.0/3.6V
VCC - OFF/BAT

USB PC
VCC –VCC_PC
The sensor board is setup with a green power on LED, D1. This draws 2 mA and is always on. In case of
using the sensor board for battery operated proof of concept, this LED need to be removed to ensure low
power consumption
Controlling and Configuring Sensor Board
The sensor module can be controlled and configured through UART. For ease of use the UART is connected
through a UART-to-USB bridge from FTDI and to a micro USB contact.
By connecting a computer to this USB connector on the sensor board, a terminal emulator program can be
used to communication with the module. There is also a config button on the board to easily put the module in
configuration mode. See datasheets Error! Reference source not found. and user manual for details on
ommunication via UART.

SHT35 Temperature and Humidity Sensor
SHT35 is the next generation of Sensirion’s temperature and humidity sensors. It has a typical accuracy of ±
1.5 %RH and ± 0.1 °C. It connected to sensor module by I2C and is setup with I2C address 0x44.
HDC2010 Low Power Temperature and Humidity Sensor
The HDC2010 is an integrated humidity and temperature sensor from Texas Instruments, with very low power
consumption and in an ultra-compact package. I has an accuracy of ± 2 %RH and ± 0.2 °C. It connected to
sensor module by I2C and is setup with I2C address 0x40.
The data ready pin is connected to the GPIO-2 of the sensor module.
BME680 Environmental sensor(revision 1.0 only)
BME680 is an integrated environmental sensor developed specifically for mobile applications and wearables
where size and low power consumption are key requirements. The sensor reads is a 4-in-1 sensor that
measure gas, humidity, pressure and temperature. It connected to sensor module by I2C and is setup with I2C
address 0x76.
ALS-PT-315C, Analogue Light Sensor
The ALS-PT-315C is light sensor that gives an analogue output based on the illuminance (Lux). The output is
connected to the analogue input of the sensor module. On the sensor board this sensor is always on.
