Kit quickly connects applications to enterprise cloud services

Mouser offers the Synergy AE-CLOUD1 application example kit from Renesas Electronics. The kit features all the equipment, firmware and software required to create cloud-connected applications. This allows engineers to connect to the Renesas IoT Sandbox, a free prototyping environment. From there they can evaluate and prototype cloud-based developer accounts and editable application examples. Engineers are also able to connect the kit with the Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox, providing access to third-party cloud services. The application example includes a powerful microcontroller board with a 120MHz Renesas Synergy S5D9 Arm Cortex-M4F microcontroller with 2MBytes of flash and 640Kbytes of SRAM. The board also has a microphone, six-axis barometric pressure sensor, digital compass, humidity sensor, relative temperature sensor, and three LEDs. The board’s two plug-and-play Grove connectors enable engineers to capitalise on Seeed's Studio's Grove modular prototyping system. The comprehensive kit also has a Wi-Fi board that includes a Qualcomm Atheros QCA4002 chip for 802.11b/g/n connectivity, plus a Segger J-Link Lite debugger board and cable. Combined with the Toolbox, the application example kit reduces the time needed to test and develop secure IoT applications. The kit is an ideal choice for data monitoring and data intelligence applications, offering the necessary tools to control and monitor the environment in homes, buildings and industrial automation systems, and in applications such as weather stations, fleet management, and smart agriculture. The kit provides data intelligence with real-time processing to support smart appliances, smart power tools, fitness monitors and building access devices.
