{"title":"IN100 NanoBeacon Lite Board","handle":"sparkfun-nanobeacon-lite-board-in100","url":"/products/sparkfun-nanobeacon-lite-board-in100","description":"Build low-power 2.4GHz Bluetooth beacon prototypes with this compact breakout based on the InPlay IN100 NanoBeacon. It is designed for wireless sensor monitoring, asset tracking, retail beacons and DIY beacon tags for real-time location monitoring.The board can run from a single 3V coin cell and includes a 12mm holder for a CR1225 battery, with the battery not included. A vertical Qwiic connector makes it easy to add compatible devices, while the UART interface is broken out to a 0.1\"-spaced through-hole header for use with a Serial Basic.GPIO pins 4-7 and the two I/O power switch pins, SW0 and SW1, are also broken out. This Lite version is intended for prototyping and development, with a power LED, reset button, no pre-soldered headers and a \"Notes\" space on the back for labelling multiple boards.The InPlay NanoBeacon Config Tool provides a GUI for configuring advertising and pairing behaviour without writing firmware. Take care with the \"Burn/Program\" option: it uploads the settings and locks the module, and cannot be undone. The tool also offers a \"Run in RAM\" test mode for many settings, but I2C is not available in RAM testing mode.Features:Low-energy beacon breakout: Uses the InPlay IN100 NanoBeacon for 2.4GHz wireless BT beacon projects.Low-power operation: Built-in configurable device behaviour can help drastically reduce power consumption for long field deployments.Qwiic integration: Includes a vertical Qwiic connector for use with the Qwiic ecosystem.UART breakout: UART interface is broken out to a 0.1\"-spaced through-hole header for serial communication.GPIO access: Breaks out four IN100 GPIO pins, 4-7.Switch pin access: Breaks out the two I/O power switch pins, SW0 and SW1.Coin cell powered: Includes a 12mm coin cell battery holder for a 3V CR1225 battery, not included.Prototyping version: Includes a power LED and reset button, and does not include any pre-soldered headers.Labelling space: Includes a \"Notes\" area on the back of the board.Configuration support: Works with the InPlay NanoBeacon Config Tool and NanoBeacon configuration examples.Specifications:Module: IN100 NanoBeaconWireless module: 2.4GHz BT Beacon moduleSupply Voltage Range: 1.1-3.6VUltra Low Power: < 650nA in Sleep ModeBeacon Modes: Proprietary BT, Google™ Eddystone™, and Apple® iBeacon® compliantThrough Hole Headers: Through Hole HeadersUART: 3.3V UARTGPIO: 4 GPIOSwitch Pins: 2 Switch PinsBattery Holder: Coin Cell Battery HolderBattery Fit: Fits a 3V CR1225 batteryReset: Reset ButtonIndicator: Power LEDQwiic Connector: 1x Vertical Qwiic ConnectorCoin cell holder size: 12mmUART header spacing: 0.1\"-spaced through-hole headerIncluded battery: CR1225 battery not includedPre-soldered headers: Not includedA good choice for prototyping beacon-based tracking, sensing and proximity projects before moving to a production-ready IN100 design.","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"Bluetooth Beacon Board","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15566,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-WRL-21293","mpn":"WRL-21293","price":12.15,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":163}]}
