Lightweight and powerful Internet of Things hardware development platform to enable any idea to be connected to the Internet, providing a seamless connectivity for most indoor and outdoor aplications, running forever on batteries. The RE-Mote includes a multiband antenna to start sending data from the first moment. Also, the RE-Mote Suite includes in addition the white enclosure, the LiPo battery, Phidgets and Ziglet connectors, too. Everything connected and fixed.

 The RE-Mote is based in the CC2538 ARM® Cortex®-M3 with a robust 2.4Ghz IEEE 802.15.4 radio, running up to 32MHz with 512KB of programable flash and 32KB of RAM, bundled with a CC1200 868/915Mhz RF transceiver. The RE-mote features a built-in TMP102 temperature sensor, microSD over SPI, battery charger and management (BQ24075) with an input range of 2 to 26VDC, run-time selectable 2.4Ghz internal and external antenna and programable with the USB over BSL without having to press any buttons or external tools required 

The RE-Mote in a nutshell packs:

• ISM 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.15.4 & Zigbee compliant radio.
• ISM 863-950-MHz ISM/SRD band IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio.
• ARM Cortex-M3 32 MHz clock speed, 512 KB flash and 32 KB RAM (16 KB retention)
• AES-128/256, SHA2 Hardware Encryption Engine
• ECC-128/256, RSA Hardware Acceleration Engine for Secure Key Exchange
• User and reset button
• Consumption down to 150 nA using the shutdown mode.
• Programming over BSL without requiring to press any button to enter bootloader mode.
• Built-in battery charger (500 mA), facilitating Energy Harvesting and direct connection to Solar Panels and to standards LiPo batteries.
• Wide range DC Power input: 3.3-16 V.
• Small form-factor (73 x 40 mm).
• MicroSD (over SPI).
• On board RTCC (programmable real time clock calendar) and external watchdog timer (WDT).
• Programmable RF switch to connect an external antenna either to the 2.4 GHz or to the Sub 1 GHz RF interface through the RP-SMA connector.
• Supported in Open Source Operative Systems as Contiki, RIOT and OpenWSN (in progress).

RE-Mote pin-out

The RE-Mote in its current Revision A has the following pin-out:

RE-Mote ports and connectors

RE-Mote on-board connectors pin-out

The RE-Mote uses the Molex 5-pin WM4903-ND male header connector to connect digital sensors based on I2C and SPI protocols, as well as other sensors or actuators you may need to connect. The pins are 2.54 mm spaced and the connector has the following pin-out:

The RE-Mote also has available 2 x ADC ports that can be used with the Molex 3-pin WM4901-ND male header connector, providing the normally used GND and VCC pins to connect analogue sensors. Depending on the sensor power operation requirement you can use the ADC1 (3.3V) or the ADC3 (5V) (note that ADC2 is not exposed to a connector, but you can always solder a wire to it). The pins are 2.54 mm spaced and the connector has the following pin-out:

Note that some sensors and devices (like the ones from Grove) have a different pin spacing. You can either solder your own wiring, or purchase ready to use cables compatible with Grove digital and analogue cables.
