e-peas semiconductors – Energy Harvesting LoRa BLE Bluetooth Kit

BGM220-EK4314A

The BGM220 Explorer Kit is an ultra-low cost, small form factor development and evaluation platform for the BGM220P WirelessGecko Bluetooth® Module

The BGM220 Explorer Kit is focused on rapid prototyping and concept creation of IoTapplications. It is designed around the BGM220P Module, based on the EFR32BG22 System-on-Chip, which is an ideal device family for developing energy-friendly connected IoT applications.The kit features a USB interface, an on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger, one user-LEDand button, and support for hardware add-on boards via a mikroBus socket and a Qwiicconnector. The hardware add-on support allows developers to create and prototype applications using a virtually endless combination of off-the-shelf boards from mikroE,sparkfun, AdaFruit, and Seeed Studios.
