The NXP Rapid IoT prototyping kit combines a high-performance, low-power NXP Kinetis K64 microcontroller based on an Arm® Cortex®-M4 core with an NXP Kinetis KW41Z wireless microcontroller that enables Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE), Thread, and Zigbee connectivity. The versatile, modular device also includes a capacitive touch sensor, a 6-axis digital accelerometer and magnetometer, a 3-axis digital gyroscope, a digital barometric pressure and humidity sensor, a digital ambient light sensor, and a digital air quality sensor.
To simplify the development process, Rapid IoT includes pre-programmed applications that allow users to quickly familiarize themselves with its capabilities. The device features an integrated web development environment (IDE) with GUI-based programming to help users modify the device's behavior without any prior coding experience. When ready, engineers can easily move from prototype ideas to development with automatic source code generation for NXP's MCUXpresso, a comprehensive suite of software tools including an SDK, IDE, and configuration tools.
Rapid IoT is compatible with the NXP IoT Modular Gateway, a comprehensive development platform that brings together the building blocks for secure, production-ready IoT systems, including hardware, software, connectivity, security, and cloud services, all with thorough and fully documented guidance and support. Rapid IoT is also fully compatible with the MikroElektronika Hexiwear docking station and over 400 MikroElektronika Click™ boards, enabling a wide range of functionality for virtually any IoT use case.
