The SparkFun NanoBeacon Board - IN100 offers a 2.4 GHz wireless low energy BT beacon breakout with exceptional low power consumption features and minimal programming required. The board features the IN100 NanoBeacon™ from InPlay™. The IN100 SoC is compliant with several standard 2.4 GHz protocols and has several built-in configurable features for device behavior that can drastically reduce power consumption allowing for continuous operation in the field for multiple years even with a connected device. This board is a great option for wireless sensor monitoring, asset tracking, retail beacons or even to make your own beacon tag for real time location monitoring. - Розваги
Love your approach to new product videos! You're doing it right!
Nano beacon IN100, proceed it but in configuration of i2C it can't show command on command window , all process flow as it's is but not showing any commands
Is no one else gonna comment about how aweosme Dryw's hoodie is?!
Thanks 😄
Chris' shirt is pretty slick too. Sparkfun, please add a clothing section to your offerings 😂
@@SparkFro Where is it from please ?
@@2anta No idea, sorry, it was a present.
Imagine hooking this up to an energy harvester. That would be insane. Infinite runtime as long as there is a power source and the circuit doesn't become damaged.
I have a prototype that needs a dozen of these boards programmed. What all do in need to program and config these?
Please help. I bought sparkfun IN100 lite board. When I solder a button to the gpio pins and set trigerred advertisements, yhe battery drains out so quickly like within 2 days. Please help what’s causing this?
Nice shirt 😊
what about the battery life?
how do you know the I2C config is correct before burning the chip? You run all you config on a other micro and then copy paste the I2C command to the config tool?
on digikey the IN100 NanoBeacon is 1,5 to 2$ cdn each. Not bad if you make a mistake.
Yeah, that's what I've been doing to create I2C configs. Read through the sensor's datasheet to figure out which registers need to have which bits set, then test it out with a microcontroller by sending each byte individually. I'd also recommend resetting the sensor before each test to make sure it's back to its default values each time. Once you're confident that you're sending the right bytes, copy the commands to the NanoBeacon Config Tool.
How can I restore nanobeacon to factory settings once I burned the program? Please help I am stuck on 'failed to connect' after burning a program to nanobeacon
You can't, it's a one time operation. Buy a new board. (=
So the "burn/program" option is permanent?
The configuration is on a "One Time Program," so once you write the data it is literally burned in and can't be changed. It's an inexpensive type of storage compared to the flash storage you're probably used to. It's used in applications where the data doesn't need to change, like sound effects in children's toys.
@@nyckid Ok, cool, just wanted to make sure I understood that right. I suppose if someone wanted to make changes they could just use the run in RAM option repeatedly
What’s the effective range?
In my testing with an ESP32 IoT RedBoard, I was able to get over 100ft line of sight, and roughly 50-75ft going through a wall or 2.
How to use these beacon for navigation?
How to read manual?
A tutorial for this would be very interesting
The received signal strength indicator, or RSSI, can be used to estimate your distance to the beacon; higher signal strength means your closer. If you're using a scanner app on your phone, it will most likely have the RSSI displayed somewhere. If you're using a microcontroller, there should be a function to get the RSSI.
@@SparkFro RSSI is not really that reliable, though, sadly. Most of the navigation ideas for beacons have been abandoned by Apple and Google. Nobody seemed interested in doing it.
As I understood it, the main way they intended to use them was for your device to simply detect the broadcast from a beacon and decide "oh, I'm near " or "I'm near ". If you are in range of the beacon then you are at that "location".
But since they've abandoned that, you're probably going to have to use your own app to detect beacons and do something interesting with them.
Anything else than the espressif ESP32 would be great (espressif implicitly supports the Chinese government in its endeavor to invade countries). Why not an example with your Artemis processor? Geopolitics aside, the application example makes this a really great video; once again a great product from Sparkfun!
