NanoPulse Shield for Arduino Sensor Interface Module

NanoPulse Shield for Arduino is designed to enable communication between the NP BW 1.0 sensor module, the NP BW LC 1.0 sensor module, the NP IBT 1.0 sensor module or the NP SU AP 6.1 sensor module and widely spread Arduino microcontroller boards. The purpose of the interface module is adding presence detection, respiration monitoring and motion detection features to the capabilities of the Arduino kits. In this case, selected microwave sensor module performs data collection in the controlled area, and the Arduino controller processes collected data and makes decisions according to the user algorithms.

NanoPulse Shield for Arduino is compatible with a selected range of the Arduino boards, as well as with their clones such as Seeeduino, Iskra and xDuino, working either at 5 V or at 3.3 V.

Pin Utilization

NanoPulse Shield for Arduino reserves the following pins:

• Digital pins 0 (Tx) and 1 (Rx) – for control and data reception via UART port when interacting with the NP BW 1.0, NP BW LC 1.0, or NP IBT 1.0 sensor modules
• Digital output pin 9 – for power control over NP SU AP 6.1 and NP BW LC 1.0 sensor modules
• Analog input pins 2, 3 and 4 – for analog data collection when interacting with the NP SU AP 6.1 sensor module
