The SparkFun Factor Plus – NORA-W306 is a wi-fi powerhouse, able to be the star of your subsequent IoT venture!
Meet the SparkFun Factor Plus – NORA-W306, a dual-core, IoT-focused board excellent for WiFi and BLE purposes.
Constructed round a Feather form-factor, the module accommodates a Realtek RTL8720DF, which has an built-in single-chip low-power dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wi-fi LAN (WLAN) and Bluetooth® Low Power (BLE 5.3) communication microcontroller. It additionally consists of a twin processor core: Arm Cortex-M33 and Cortex-M23. The Factor does every little thing from turning on an LED to posting knowledge along with your chosen platform and will be programmed identical to any microcontroller. You possibly can even program the Factor by means of the Arduino IDE by putting in the Realtek Arduino core.
To enrich the module’s low-power choices, we have optimized elements and added the power to depower all subsystems to preserve as a lot energy as doable for distant battery-powered purposes, like grabbing present climate circumstances in your space, posting sensor knowledge to a server, synchronizing your clock to Coordinated Common Time (UTC), turning on lights for dwelling automation, or monitoring HVAC methods in good buildings!
