TinyNode

Introducing TinyNode

Shockfish SA has developed the TinyNode platform with real industrial application in mind. Our mission is to bridge results from academic research with industrial needs in the area of wireless sensor networks.

 

The design philosophy of TinyNode is to provide a platform for both academic projects and industrial applications. The TinyNode 584 and TinyNode 184 core module are versatile lowest-power sensor nodes and come with an array of extension hardware offering a wide set of connectivity, storage, energy and interfacing options.





TinyNode 584

The TinyNode 584 is an ultra-low power OEM module that provides a simple and reliable way to add wireless communication to sensors, actuators and controllers.

 

TinyNode 584 is optimized to run TinyOS and packaged as a complete wireless subsystem with 19 configurable I/O pins offering up to 6 analog inputs, up to 2 analog outputs as well as serial interface.

TinyNode 18


The TinyNode 184 is a state of the art ultra-low power OEM module that

provides a simple and reliable way to add wireless communication to sensors,

actuators, and controllers.

Indeed the 184 serie is the first wireless sensor consuming only 3mA in receive mode

 

TinyNode 184 is optimized to run TinyOS and packaged as a complete wireless subsystem with 19 configurable I/O pins offering up to 6 analog inputs, up to 2 analog outputs as well as serial interface.
