This User Manual describes how to use the Development Kit and provides detailed documentation for the Sensor
board and Development board
The development board is connected to the gateway through USB. Your gateway may be an embedded
system or a Linux mini-computer. But for the purpose of demonstrating a quick setup, this guide will use a PC
as the gateway.

Quick Start
When setting up the development kit, the main task is setting up the gateway. With the development kit the
quickest way to do this is to use a PC as the gateway and use the RIIoT Net Controller on Linux-PC or Linux
on a VirtualBox.
- Setup RIIoT Net Controller on the PC(gateway) RIIoT Net Controller Quick Start
- Start the example client application for the development kit. (details in above mentioned Quick start)
Once the RIIoT Net Controller is up and running, the Sensor boards can be powered up through USB and the
joining information and temperature/humidity readings will automatically start to appear on the gateway.
- Power up the 2 sensors board (demo application is pre-loaded out-of-box)
oApplication auto joins the network
oApplication read the on board SHT35 sensor and report humidity and temperature every 10
seconds.
oSee data being reported on the PC/gateway
The RIIoT network is now up and running.
Further development
Start making your own custom application
oRead a different sensor
oUse other channels or output power level
oAdd new timer events
oMake events based on button
oMake smart solution by adding intelligence processing on SPR module
oSend downlink messages from gateway to end node
oEvaluate range and different data rates.
The possibilities are infinite. Details for making your own application can be found in SPR SDK Quick Start,
User Manual and API reference.

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
Battery can be connected
USB PC
VCC –VCC_PC
Only for RC1180MSM. The others draw too
high current
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 [6] and user manual for details on communication 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
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.

SL353LT Hall Detector
The SL353LT is a state-of-the art hall detector that enable magnetic detection. It has a very low power
consumption of 1.8 uA in average for 2.8V operation. The output of the hall detector is connected to GPIO-3
on the sensor module.
LIS3DE Accelerometer
The LIS3DE is an ultra-low-power high-performance 3-axis linear accelerometer belonging to the “nano”
family, with digital I2C/SPI serial interface standard output. The device features ultra-low-power
operational modes that allow advanced power saving and smart embedded functions.
It is connected to the sensor module via the SPI and GPIO-4 is the chip select pin.
Blue LED
There is a blue LED on the board (D2) that is connected to GPIO-1 of the sensor module. This is used to
demonstrate the GPIO output control capabilities of the sensor module.

Prototyping with the Sensor Board
The sensor board is well suited for prototyping/bread boarding. With all I/O pins easily accessible at the edge,
connection to external boards can be made through board stacking with standard pin headers or cabled with
standard 2.54 mm pitch cable.
With angled header mounted on I/O connector, the sensor board can also be mounted vertically to other boards
with 2.54mm pitch connectors.
The idea is that an external application specific circuitry/sensors etc. easily can be connected to the sensor
board as a proof of concept for the final product.
The sensor board is built to fit a commercially off the shelf enclosure named Router Cube from New Age
Enclosure. Available at Mouser. The sensor board is not delivered with enclosure. Machining for
connectors/antenna is required.
