First access to compact new all-in-one IoT prototyping board

As the first authorized distribution partner, Conrad Business Supplies has added a new prototyping platform - the XDK 110, a cross-domain hardware and software kit from Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions. It includes various MEMS sensors for measuring acceleration, rotation and magnetic fields, as well as humidity, pressure, temperature, acoustic and digital light. The XDK 110 provides an effective means of creating and testing new devices and technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT) and enables a fast and easy start to mass production. Housed in compact packaging, measuring just 60mm x 40mm x 22mm, the XDK 110 can easily be retrofitted to electronic devices and appliances of nearly any size. It features numerous connectivity options, including USB, Bluetooth and WLAN. This makes it easy to connect to PCs, smartphones and tablets either wirelessly or via cable. XDK functionality can also be expanded further by using the included extension board to integrate new features. The XDK 110, launched at CES 2016 in Las Vegas, is additionally supported by an online community of developers and designers. This Bosch supported community provides an ideal location for discussion, the exchange of knowledge and help with the development of members’ own design ideas. Shawn Silberhorn, supplier business development manager, Conrad Technology Centrum (CTC), said: “We have for a long time been building our range of highly capable reference kits and prototyping boards. The XDK from Bosch delivers a compact solution for prototyping IoT projects, which will appeal to customers across all design and development sectors.” Reiner Schmohl, XDK product manager, Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions, added: “Conrad has for a long time stocked devices and technologies from the complete Bosch range. We are excited that our latest prototyping kit will join these products and become available to Conrad’s customers across the whole of Europe.”
