Arduino Edge Control
Overview
The Arduino Edge Control is a rugged, 32-bit embedded board powered by an ARM Cortex-M4F MCU designed specifically for outdoor and industrial environments. It integrates a Nina B306 Bluetooth module for connectivity and features extensive analog and digital I/O for interfacing with specialized sensors. The platform is built for high-reliability data logging and remote control in applications where power efficiency and security are critical.
Why Choose This Part
The board features a wide input voltage range up to 17V and a dedicated solar charger (LT3652HV), making it ideal for battery-powered or energy-harvesting deployments. Integrated security through the Arm CryptoCell CC310 ensures data integrity and secure communication for remote IoT nodes. Its rich peripheral set, including 12-bit ADC channels and high-density GPIO expansion via the TCA6424A, allows for complex multi-sensor interfacing without additional external components.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers can program the Edge Control using the Arduino IDE or the professional-grade Arduino Cloud for remote management and over-the-air updates. Connect via the micro-B USB port to upload firmware and use the onboard microSD card slot for local data logging. The Nina B306 module facilitates easy BLE configuration for mobile app interfacing during field setup.
Also Consider
Arduino
- A more compact solution if WiFi connectivity is required instead of ruggedized high-density industrial I/O.
Arduino
- Ideal for long-range agricultural deployments where LoRaWAN connectivity is preferred over Bluetooth.
