Description

BeaglePlay: BeaglePlay is an open-source single board computer designed to simplify the process of adding sensors, actuators, indicators, human interfaces, and connectivity to a reliable embedded system. It features a powerful 64-bit, quad-core processor and innovative connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, sub-GHz wireless, and single-pair Ethernet with power-over-data-line. With compatibility with 1,000s of off-the-shelf add-ons and a customized Debian Linux image, BeaglePlay makes expansion and customization easy. It also includes ribbon-cable connections for cameras and touch-screen displays, and a socket for a battery-backed real-time-clock, making it ideal for human-machine interface designs. With its competitive price and user-friendly design, BeaglePlay provides a positive development experience for users.

BeagleConnect Freedom: BeagleConnect Freedom is an open-hardware wireless hardware platform developed by BeagleBoard.org and built around the TI CC1352P7 microcontroller, which supports both 2.4GHz and long-range, low-power Sub-1 GHz wireless protocols. Rapidly prototyping of IoT applications is accelerated by hardware compatibility with over 1,000 mikroBUS add-on sensors, actuators, indicators and additional connectivity and storage options, and backed with software support utilizing the Zephyr scalable and modular real-time operating system, allowing developers to tailor the solution to their specific needs. BeagleConnect Freedom further includes MSP430F5503 for USB-to-UART functionality, temperature and humidity sensor, light sensor, SPI flash, battery charger, buzzer, LEDs, and JTAG connections to make it a comprehensive solution for IoT development and prototyping.

Grove Light Sensor: Grove - light sensor v1.2 is an analogue module and can output various electrical signals which can be converted to different ranges. It integrates LS06-S photoresistor, a high-sensitive and reliable photodiode, to detect the intensity of light in the environment. It is a perfect Arduino light sensor module for light measurement, light detection, and light-controlled switch.

Grove Accelerometer: Grove - ADXL345 is a small, thin, ultra low power 3-axis accelerometer, providing high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16 g. The ADXL345 is well suited for mobile device applications. It measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (3.9 mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination changes less than 1.0°. Grove - ADXL345 is with the extreme low power consumption, as low as 23 μA in measurement mode and 0.1 μA in standby mode. The Low power modes enable intelligent motion-based power management with threshold sensing and active acceleration measurement at extremely low power dissipation. There is an on-board a 4-pin Grove interface (3-5VDC) for easily connect with Arduino boards and Seeeduino boards.
