Pycom FiPy

Imagine 5 networks in one perfectly-formed, same-small-foot-print-as-WiPy- LoPy-and SiPy, IoT development board. MicroPython-enabled. Featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, Sigfox and dual LTE-M (CAT M1 and NBIoT) the FiPy gives access to all the world’s LPWAN networks on one tiny board.

Features

• Powerful CPU
• Five networks: Wi-Fi, BLE, cellular LTE-CAT M1/NB1, LoRa and Sigfox
• 1km WiFi range
• MicroPython enabled
• Fits in a standard breadboard (with headers)
• Ultra-low power usage: a fraction compared to other connected microcontrollers

Processing

• Espressif ESP32 SoC
• Dual processor and Wi-Fi radio system on chip
• Networking processor handles the Wi-Fi connectivity and the IPv6 stack
• Main processor is entirely free to run the user application
• An extra ULP-coprocessor that can monitor GPIOs, the ADC channels and control most of the internal peripherals during deep-sleep mode while only consuming 25uA

Interfaces

• 2 x UART, 2 x SPI, I2C, micro SD card
• Analog channels: 8×12 bit ADCs, 2×8 bit DAC
• Timers: 2×64 bit with PWM with up to 16 channels
• DMA on all peripherals
• GPIO: up to 22

Memory

• RAM: 4MB
• Flash memory: 8MB
• GPIO: up to 22
• Hardware floating point acceleration
• Python multi-threading
