SDAWIR03 Demonstration Kit User Manual for

the HS3001, FS2012, and ZWIR4512

November 5, 2018

Description

The SensorShare™ SDAWIR03 Demonstration Kit demonstrates

using the IDT ZWIR4512 6LoWPAN Low-Power Wireless Module

to communicate humidity, temperature, and flow sensor measure-

ment data to the kit’s 6LoWPAN-WiFi Hub, which functions as a

WiFi hub, allowing a linked device to display and graph the mea-

sured data in real time. The kit’s Hub can also link to an end-user’s

WiFi hub, which also allows any network device to display and

graph the data in a web browser. The kit’s Hub also permits send-

ing the measurements to Amazon® Web Services with all the

required permissions and setup of the data to be viewed worldwide.

The end-user only needs an Amazon Web Service account.

The SDAWIR03 kit uses the IDT HS3001 Humidity and Tempera-

ture Sensor and the FS2012 Flow Sensor for the measurements.

The sensors are mounted in a 5cm clear plastic cube that contains

a ZWIR4512 Wireless Module to communicate with the Hub. The

6LoWPAN-WiFi Hub and the Sensor Cube are powered by a

separate AC/DC wall mount adapter. If using only the HS3001, it

can be powered from coin cell batteries.

The Hub utilizes a Raspberry PI Zero W to provide the WiFi hub

function interfaced to the ZWIR4512 Wireless Module. The Hub

uses the Raspbian LXDE Lightweight Desktop Environment, which

is a Debian-based computer operating system for the Raspberry Pi.

Many of the Hub functions are written in Python. The Hub micro-

SD card is fully loaded and ready for operation.

The Sensor Cubes use the software modules provided with the IDT

ZWIR4512 6LoWPAN radio module. The sensor interface is either

I2C or an analog voltage. The Cube can be expanded to operate

other 3.3V I2C capable sensors.

 Hub WiFi connections: 2.4GHz

 No software to install; apply power and WiFi link to the Hub to

view measurements

 The Hub can also link to a local WiFi hub to view measurements

 When linked to a local WiFi hub, the Hub can link to Amazon

Web Service (AWS) and write sensor data to AWS

 All the required setup is included to allow writing data to the

end-user’s AWS account

 Over-the-air update (OTAU) functionality in the Hub and

Sensor Cube; automatic OTAU from IDT if linked to AWS

 Multiple Cubes with sensors installed can communicate with

the Hub and have results displayed

 Cubes automatically mesh if needed to complete the

communication path to the Hub

 The Hub and Sensor Cube operate from a 5.0V DC and micro-

USB connector; wall-mount power supply adapters are included

 Wall-mount adapters have the AC mains connection plugs

commonly used worldwide or in North America
