Overview

The AirBoard is a wireless, modular and ultra low-power prototyping platform for the Internet of Things (IoT), designed to explore, hack and deploy your killer idea in the field.

It features a "Bee" socket to host XBee, Bluetooth, BLE, WiFi, GSM/GPRS, SIGFOX and LoRa WAN shields, an open solderless breadboard and a built-in battery with ultra-low Power Management System for years of autonomy.

Much like the Fio, the AirBoard was designed to be programmable over-the-air via an external wireless shield, although featuring two independent channels for XBee and Bluetooth.

Note: The AirBoard comes with a UL1642, CB/IEC62133, UN38.3 fully certified built-in battery. It passed all EMC, ESD, altitude, thermal, vibration, shock, drop, impact, crush, short-circuit, overcharge, discharge, fire & hazardous materials tests. Twice as small, more compact, with built-in LiPo battery and charger, Power and Battery Management System and power RGB LED, the AirBoard draws 70,000 times less power in sleep mode than an Arduino UNO.

Note: The microUSB connector is used exclusively for battery charging. Therefore the USB port will not be recognized by your computer. To upload a new program, you will need to use an add-on programmer/debugger board like the fieldcloud EL-PR-1.
