R41Z-TA-EVAL

Rigado LLC 3950 Fairview Industrial Dr. Salem, Oregon 97302 866-6-RIGADO modules rigado.com www.rigado.com/modules R41Z Evaluation Kit User Guide The R41Z Evaluation Kit from Rigado allows for stand-alone use of the R41Z Module featuring the NXP MKW41Z RF System-on- Chip (SoC). This guide provides setup instructions for starting development and describes the hardware functionality of the R41Z Evaluation Kit that can facilitate development of your project. 1. Overview The R41Z Evaluation Kit provides a great starting point for almost any Bluetooth Smart (4.2 Low Energy) or Thread project. All features of the R41Z module are accessible from the evaluation board. A simple USB connection provides power and OpenSDA V2.1 based debugging. Four user buttons (two conventional and two capacitive) are available, as well as an RGB LED, reset button, combination acceleration/magnetometer sensor, and an external 4Mbit flash module. Arduino form factor headers provide access to 16 GPIO and 6 analog inputs. This allows for easy use of Rigado R41Z Shields and many existing Arduino shields. Current sense resistors allow for measuring current into the R41Z module and into the shield. 1.1 Key Features R41Z Thread + Bluetooth Module On-board programming and debug (OpenSDA v2.1) Virtual COM port over USB Pin-for-pin compatible with projects created for the NXP FRDM-KW41Z board Buttons and LEDs for user interaction 2 3-axis combination accelerometer and magnetometer, I C interface 4Mbit Flash, SPI interface Provision for IR LED 32.768kHz crystal CR2032 battery holder Supports all DC-DC modes of the R41Z module Adjustable output regulator simplifies development R41Z-EVAL-UG-V0.9 Preliminary Subject to Change Page 1 of 23 R41Z Evaluation Kit User Guide November 9, 2016 Table of Contents 1.
