The foglamp-south-cc2650 is a plugin that connects using Bluetooth to a Texas Instruments CC2650 SensorTag. The SensorTag offers 10 sensors within a small, low powered package which may be read by this plugin and ingested into FogLAMP. These sensors include;

  • ambient light

  • magnetometer

  • humidity

  • pressure

  • accelerometer

  • gyroscope

  • object temperature

  • digital microphone

Note

The sensor requires that you have a Bluetooth low energy adapter available that supports at least BLE 4.0.
