    Documentation & Resources

    Example Arduino code for the SMD Wings & Feather Board

    This Github repository contains sample Arduino code for testing the Argos SMD module mounted on the Argos SMD Wings using a Feather board. Two distinct code bases are provided:

    • argos-smd-certfication-sample: Test code based on BLE and UART AT commands manager.
    • argos-smd-spi-wrapper: Test code based on Serial and SPI commands manager.

    Both examples demonstrate key functionalities such as configuration, communication, and power management for the Argos SMD module.
