Z1 Starter Platform

Description

The Z1 Starter Platform contains everything needed to develop applications for the Z1 easily. Development time can be reduced by leaving the best features of the Z1 with dedicated connectors, improving existing and adding new ones.

Z1 Starter Platform is designed for an intense use of its features during development, but can also be used  as a final product thanks to its friendly form-factor. If the enclosure is open, it behaves like a perfect development platform for the Z1 with access to all connectors and components. If closed, it behaves like an enhanced mote, keeping the most important peripherals accessible from outside.

The power management for the Z1 and sensors is one of the most prominent issues in the Z1SP. The Z1SP has two built-in power supplies of +3V and +5V. This features allows for an extension of the range of sensors that can be plugged to the Z1. At the same time, powering the Z1SP is simpler and more versatile than ever.

Another improvement to encourage the use of all types of sensors in the Z1 is a dedicated connector for Ziglets. The Ziglets are a new standard proposed by Zolertia to standardize the connection of digital sensors.
