Description

Note - Please read before purchasing! The SARA-R5 module used on the SparkFun MicroMod Asset Tracker Carrier Board (SARA-R510AWS) accepts the simplified AWS IoT ExpressLink AT command set, designed for effortless and secure connectivity to the AWS cloud. The regular u-blox SARA-R5 AT commands are not required and therefore are not supported.

The SARA-R5 module on the board supports the AWS IoT ExpressLink AT command set, which aims to make the app developer’s life easy.

The SparkFun MicroMod Asset Tracker Carrier Board (SARA-R510AWS) is built around AWS IoT ExpressLink.

The Asset Tracker Carrier Board has an integrated ICM-20948 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for Nine Degree-Of-Freedom orientation and movement detection. Want to send a message if your asset is moved? The Asset Tracker can do that! The board also has a built-in digital microphone and so can send an alert as soon as a noise is detected too.

The SparkFun Asset Tracker Carrier Board has a built-in micro-SD card socket for data logging as well as a SIM card port and an LTE antenna. Power options include both USB-C and LiPo battery (with built-in charging and battery fuel gauge), but you can provide power via a breakout pin too.

You can find AWS IoT ExpressLink examples on GitHub to run on the MicroMod processor.

The Asset Tracker will work with any of our MicroMod Processor Boards, but because it offers so many features and can be configured in different ways, some Processor Boards may be a better choice for your application than others. Please see our Hookup Guide for further details. To run through the Getting Started guide the kit also includes a MicroMod Update Tool.

IMPORTANT: This board does NOT come with a SIM card. One will need to be purchased separately.

Note: Our partner, u-blox, will continue to enhance the firmware for this product. To support this effort, SparkFun will provide u-blox the contact information for customers who purchase this kit to contact you for firmware feedback.

The u-blox SARA-R510AWS module provides LTE-M data communication for multi-regional use. Please check that your service provider offers LTE-M coverage for your area before purchasing.
