Introduction

API 7 is a new firmware concept that significantly extends the functionality and robustness of existing API 6

Features

• support LoRaWan technology, NB-IoT ready, Sigfox-LoraWan dual mode

• GNSS support

• lower idle consumption

• API 6 was pull-based, API 7 is event (IRQ) driven

• variable bit-depth of data reported (typically 8,12bit)

• 8x255 configuration registes (8pages, can be extended to 16)

• data logging capability into EEPROM (2MB)

• 2 color LED with configurable blinking patterns support

• modular structure (sources, processing modules, filters, messaging modules, etc.)

  • the shift from predefined fixed modes to fully configurable processing blocks

  • universal processing of data by modules within the firmware

• faster and more seamless introduction of new sensors and functionality

• multidevice local OTA firmware update and configuration (proprietary broadcast protocol)

• improved internal health checks - increases long-term stability

• possible to store any configuration and restore it later including factory default settings

• support 4 analog/digital inputs, up to 5 digital outputs

• support external UART, I2C,1-wire

• improved security - signed fw, encrypted OTA

• power control 1dB step
