Arribada SMD Standalone

ARRIBADA-SMD-STANDALONE

The Arribada SMD Standalone hosts the SMD module, simply breaking out power, an antenna connector, and all the GPIOs you need in a super small form factor. The format enables you to utilse the ESP32 as a standalone microcontroller, meaning you can integrate it directly into a design, or run it on its own to transmit Kineis / Argos doppler messages as a tracker.

Standalone design: Utilise the embedded ESP32 as a standalone microcontroller to transmit messages.
Small form factor: At 3cm x 3cm, simply connect a battery and antenna and integrate into you solution right out of the box.
Doppler positioning: Benefit from GSP-free doppler location tracking for ultra long-life deployments.

    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.
