KNX Arduino Shield
Author: EIS Release Date: Jan 7, 2021
ON Semi's KNX Arduino-compatible evaluation board is suitable for applications such as smart homes and building automation
Quick-start KNX projects with ON Semiconductor’s family of NCN51xxASGEVB Arduino shield compatible evaluation boards. The Arduino Uno V3 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide variety of development boards, enabling rapid prototyping with a microcontroller (MCU). The external components necessary for operating the transceivers are included on the shield.
The ON Semiconductor NCN51xx series of KNX transceivers handle the low-level communication necessary to comply with the KNX standard. The high level of integration (multiple DC/DC converters and LDO) allows for an industry-leading small design footprint. Download the demo software here.
Features
