Pycom SiPy development platform

Click2Contact

The SiPy is a multinetwork (Sigfox, Wi-Fi and BLE) development platform. It is programmable with MicroPython and the Pymakr IDE for fast IoT application development, easy programming in-field and extra resilience with network failover.

The product offers a blend of speed to deployment and access to LPWAN networks rolling out across Europe, USA, Africa and India. Users can also configure the module in FSK mode to send packets directly from SiPy to SiPy. The user can create the network configuration of their choice and then use another SiPy as a central nano-gateway to forward the data to the cloud via Wi-Fi.

The product includes a dual processor and Wi-Fi radio system on chip. The network processor handles the Wi-Fi connectivity and the IPv6 stack, while the main processor is entirely free to run the user application. An extra ULP-coprocessor can monitor up to 24 GPIOs and the eight 12-bit ADC channels, as well as control most of the internal peripherals during deep-sleep mode, while only consuming 25 µA.

Other features include: a powerful CPU; a Wi-Fi range of 1 km; ultralow power usage; 920–922 MHz Sigfox operation frequency (ANZ, Latin America and SE Asia); 2x UART, 2x SPI, I²C, I²S and a micro SD card; DMA on all peripherals; and more.
