The sensor board contains the selected module with embedded protocol and associated
support circuits.
This User Manual describes how to use the Development Kit and provides detailed
documentation for the Sensor board.
Sigfox Kit
The Sigfox sensor board is delivered with pre-coded ID, PAC and encryption key and with a
12 month subscription.
It you have an active Sigfox network in your region you can register the device at Sigfox and
actively see data from the sensor module on the Sigfox cloud.
If you want to test the Sensor board, but do not have Sigfox coverage, a Sigfox SDR dongle is
needed to receive packets. This is available from Sigfox :
https://build.sigfox.com/sdr-dongle.
For details about the PC-tool, Sigfox registration and activation process, the RC16xxxx-SIG-
DK_Quick_Start[1] is mandatory reading, The information there is also relevant for the sensor
board, except downlink and the way Sigfox messages are generated.
For detailed information on using the RC16xx-SSM modules see [2],[3] and [4].
