Datasheet

The Synergy AE-CLOUD1 application example kit from Renesas Electronics is available at Mouser Electronics. Featuring all the equipment, firmware and software necessary to develop cloud-connected applications, the kit enables engineers to connect to the Renesas IoT Sandbox, a free prototyping environment, where they can prototype and evaluate cloud-based developer accounts and editable application examples.

Engineers can also connect the kit to the Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox, which provides access to third-party cloud services.

The Renesas Synergy AE-CLOUD1 application example, available from Mouser Electronics, includes a powerful microcontroller board with a 120-MHz Renesas Synergy S5D9 Arm Cortex-M4F microcontroller with 2 MBytes of flash and 640 Kbytes of SRAM.

The board also includes a microphone, 6-axis digital compass, barometric pressure sensor, relative temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and three LEDs.

The board’s two plug-and-play Grove connectors help engineers capitalise on Seeed's Studio's Grove modular prototyping system. The comprehensive kit also includes a Wi-Fi board that incorporates a Qualcomm Atheros QCA4002 chip for 802.11b/g/n connectivity, plus a Segger J-Link Lite debugger board and cable.

Combined with Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox, the AE-CLOUD1 application example kit dramatically reduces the time required to develop and test secure IoT applications.

The kit is an ideal choice for data monitoring and data intelligence applications, providing the necessary tools to monitor and control the environment in home, building and industrial automation systems, and in applications such as fleet management, weather stations, and smart agriculture.

The kit offers data intelligence with real-time processing to support fitness monitors, smart power tools, smart appliances and building access devices.
