impC breakout Get started with your impCellular evaluation

The impC breakout was designed to allow easy evaluation of the impCellular family, and includes various sensors and outputs to allow experimentation without need for any hardware expertise. Multiple standard I/O connectors including USB, Grove, GPS and MikroBus help speed PoC implementations by allowing a wide range of off-the-shelf sensors, actuators, radios and bus interfaces to be used directly with the breakout board. The design is open-source, allowing easy re-use of components – for example, the power architecture -- as a base for your own impCellular products. impC module support • Supports all configurations of impC001 and impC002 modules • Status LED and BlinkUp™ phototransistor for first-time configuration

I/O and expansion • Breakout of impC pins to 2x 20 pin headers for easy accessibility • USB type A connector for use of impOS’ USB host functionality, with 5v boost for battery operation • Two grove connectors, with power gating • Mikrobus socket allowing access to the 450+ MikroElektronika Click boards such as LoRA radios, CAN

interfaces, RS485/MODBUS-RTU, etc • Pixhawk compatible GPS/compass interface allowing use of off-the-shelf drone GPS modules

On-board devices • ST microelectronics 3-Axis accelerometer with ability to wake system on motion • ST microelectronics digital temperature/humidity sensor • APA102 RGB LED pixel, with ability to daisy-chain additional pixels

Power management • Battery-less operation direct from 5-14v input • Li-Ion battery charger with MPPT solar compatibility • Standard two pin JST connector for off the shelf Li-Ion battery packs • High efficiency switching power supplies • High accuracy, self-calibrating battery gas gauge

(back of board)

Delivered as a bare board, the breakout is designed to fit in an off-the-shelf IPX7 water resistant rated case, the New Age Enclosures S-542713 pictured below (lid not fitted, impC module not included). This housing is readily available from distributors such as Mouser.
