Cloud kit hosts myriad sensors

Based on the RA6M5 32-bit microcontroller group, the CK-RA6M5 cloud kit features a broad range of onboard sensors, including temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and environmental air quality. The cloud kit is ideal for home and building automation, smart cities, healthcare and industrial monitoring applications.

This cloud kit features LTE CAT-M1 and Ethernet network connectivity interfaces, while a broad range of add-on devices support additional cloud connectivity options.

It also includes two MEMS microphones for voice command applications and SpO2 and indoor/outdoor AQI sensors, and an onboard debugger (J-LINK or E2OB) and an Arduino Uno interface.

Another feature is the popular Digilent Pmod (Type 2A and Type 6A) connectors to add other sensors or connectivity options such as motion sensors, Bluetooth Low Energy or Wi-Fi. It also has USB Full Speed and USB Serial ports.

The CK-RA6M5 cloud kit is supported by a comprehensive software suite, including a complete software stack using Renesas software packages, Flexible Software Package, and the new IoT Quick Connect Studio platform.

Amazon Web Service (AWS) and Microsoft Azure cloud applications are also supported, and the integrated generic applications are cloud agnostic.

These applications use a feature-rich custom dashboard to visualize the sensor data on the cloud kit.
