Texas Instruments CC3200 Launchpad and CC3100 BoosterPack, a development platform and Wi-Fi device, created for faster and easier implementation of solutions for the Internet of Things(IoT) is now available at Farnell element14. The kit is the industry’s first single-chip programmable microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity suitable for applications in cloud connectivity, home automation, safety and security, health and fitness, and metering.

It features on-board emulation using an FTDI device and has temperature sensors, a 3-axis accelerometer, LEDs and push-buttons.

This SimpleLink enabled wireless MCU, based on the high-performance ARM Cortex–M4 enables developers to create an entire application with a single IC. It comes with driver support and an SDK with over 40 applications for Wi-Fi protocols, internet applications and MCU peripheral examples together with user guides, design files and API guides. 

Add Wi-Fi to to an external host microcontroller with the CC3100 BoosterPack, a next-generation SimpleLink Wi-Fi device, for easy implementation of Internet connectivity including security, quick connection and cloud support.  This simplifies the creation of IoT solutions with advantages such as reduced development time, lower costs, space-saving, ease of certification and less need for RF expertise. Moreover, it can run on two AA batteries for over a year which, for the first time, brings embedded Wi-Fi capabilities to battery-operated end-equipment.

In addition, an advanced emulation accessory board – CC31XXEMUBOOST – is available for flashing updates to the CC3100BOOST, using the radio tool for RF performance evaluation, and for advanced FTDI debugging.
