Evaluation kit Texas Instruments ANTC7EK1

CC257x single-mode ANT network processor and evaluation kit

Detailed Description

TI's CC257x ANT is a dual-chip sensor solution, combining the 2.4-GHz CC257x network processor and an MSP430™ microcontroller.

The CC257x network processors are 2.4 GHz devices tailored for ANT sensor applications. The CC257x evaluation kit (ANTC7EK1) contains everything needed to quickly explore and develop with the CC257x, including the integrated ANT-FS feature.
