RN4870 Bluetooth Low Energy PICtail / PICtail Plus Daughter Board
Part Number: RN-4870-SNSR
The RN-4870-SNSR is a development board based on the ultra-compact Bluetooth 4.2
Low Energy RN4870 module. The RN4870 uses a simple ASCII command interface over
the UART. The board enables evaluation of the RN4870 and development of Bluetooth
low Energy applications in two different ways:
1) Out of the box: When plugged into the USB port of a PC, the board will enumerate as a
Communication Device Class (CDC) Serial device. Through a terminal program, users can
configure and control the module and transfer data using the easy to use provided
command set.
2) As a PICtail/PICtail Plus, the board interfaces to Explorer 8 or Explorer 16 Development
Board. The Explorer 8/16 modular development system works with one of hundreds of
available PIC 8, 16, 32 bit Microcontrollers PIM (Plug-In-Modules). The PICtail bridges the
host MCU UART to the RN4870's UART interface for data transfer or configuration using
the straight-forward, easy-to-use ASCII style command set.
