Mini-TX beacon
The Mini-TX is a TX only beacon, i.e. it can transmit, but cannot
receive ultrasound
Comparison to Beacon HW v4.9:
-
Smaller size and lighter: 47x42x15mm & 25g vs. 55x55x33mm & 62g (or
55x55x64mm with antenna)
-
TX only, i.e. Mini-TX can only transmit ultrasonic and cannot receive.
Beacon HW v4.9 is dual use: can receive and transmit ultrasonic
-
Battery
– 250mAh vs. 1000mAh in a regular beacon. But Mini-TX has a new more efficient ultrasonic
TX module, thus, battery lifetime in TX mode is even superior to the Beacon HW v4.9
-
Tested battery lifetime with 8Hz
– 96h. With lower update rate – nearly proportionally longer. Very
efficient ultrasonic TX module
-
Mini-TX has only USB (virtual UART) output
– no additional pins
-
Mini-TXs always have embedded IMU
– newer and better, but it has 3D accelerometer and 3D
gyroscope, but no magnetometer (which we do not recommend using indoors anyway, due to
magnetic field distortion indoor)
-
Embedded antenna
– smaller size, but smaller radio coverage ~50m with regular Modem HW v4.9
as compared with ~100m of Beacon HW v4.9 with Modem HW v4.9
-
Range in ultrasonic is virtually on par with regular Beacon HW v4.9
– up to 30m with Beacon HW
v4.9 as RX beacon. At the same time, for example, a combination of Mini-RX RX Mini-TX
TX provide a better coverage and a stronger signal, than Beacon HW v4.9 + Beacon HW v4.9
-
This HW is for the 868/915MHz band only, i.e. 433MHz is not supported and not planned
