Cicerone board
Move-X Cicerone board is a high-performance, low-power, Arduino MKR compatible DVK board based on Move-X MAMWLE LoRa module and u-blox MAX-M10S GNSS module. This combination allows best-in-class GNSS, long-range wireless connections and high-performance MCU processing in a low-power solution for extreme battery life.
Overview
Cicerone allows to build tracking applications around the world with meter-level accuracy and to communicate long-range, low-power data via LoRaWAN.
The integrated Li-Po charging circuit enables the board to manage battery charging through the USB port.
It is based on u-blox MAXM10S GNSS and Move-X MAMWLE modules. This combination allows for best-in-class synergy between GNSS technology and long-range wireless connectivity for power-constrained applications.
