Introducing the Cloud-Connected Thunderboard React

At Silicon Labs, we live to make awesome hardware and software to power the Internet of Things. This is why we created the bad*ss Thunderboard React Car Kit, a mini smart car that senses what's happening in the world around it, transmits that data to the cloud via your mobile device, and displays the data in real-time so you can respond to the big picture!

Thunderboard React shows you the science behind measuring inertia, UV light, temperature and humidity, or RPMs. It has built-in Bluetooth low energy technology for connectivity, accelerometer, biometric sensors, a hall effect sensor for rotation and magnetism, and it comes with all the smartphone apps and server tools you need to start developing cloud-based applications.

The Benefits

  • Demonstrate secure smart sensing, computing, and cloud connectivity
  • Easily connect and turn any application into an IoT node
  • Use cloud-based analytics to make smarter business decisions

The Board

  • Collects raw health, motion, and biometric sensor data
  • Efficiently processes and shares node data via Bluetooth low energy
  • Connects products to the cloud and iOS/Android/Web apps

Days of Thunderboard

The Car Kit bundles a Miniature Derby Car with your Thunderboard React board, and once mounted on your car and paired with the free mobile app, you can measure the speed, envrionment and motion of the car. Using the cloud database you can visualize your collected sensor data, and the individual components of the Thunderboard React can be easily integrated and modified in order to add BLE-to-cloud connectivity to other projects. Try it and track your results against other Miniature Derby Cars!
