Getting started with the Sigfox S2-LP kit
Introduction
The
STSW-S2LP-SFX-DK
is an evaluation SW package for Sigfox networking with the
S2-LP
high performance, ultra-low power
RF transceiver. It is designed to operate in the majority of radio configuration zones (RCZ) described by Sigfox.
The STSW-S2LP-SFX-DK SW package supports the STEVAL-FKI868V1, STEVAL-FKI868V2, STEVAL-FKI915V1,
X-NUCLEO-
S2868A2
and
X-NUCLEO-S2915A1
kit platforms.
In addition, the package includes the STDES-MONARCH, the
STEVAL-FKI001V1
and support for the
STEVAL-IDB007V2
and
STEVAL-IDB008V2
(kits to be used in conjunction with the shields included in the above mentioned kits). The latter solution
enables the support for BlueNRG1/2 System-on-Chip alternatively to the STM32 microcontroller.
It provides an S2-LP Sigfox library with a complete set of APIs to develop embedded applications.
The S2-LP - Sigfox Demo GUI PC application provides an interactive interface to transmit messages to the Sigfox network and
program the STEVAL-FKI nodes with the Sigfox ID to set the node for network communication.
For details regarding the BlueNRG-1/-2 hardware and software development kit, refer to STSW-BLUENRG1/2-DK.
