PRODUCT PROFILE

“What if, in the palm of your hand.”

NODE works with your smart device to help you explore your world. Custom modules light up the night, monitor weather, match paint color, sense gases, or precisely track motion.

The NODE+ Sensor Platform includes a 9 degrees-of-freedom motion engine (gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer),and two expansion ports on either end where you can attach any NODE+ sensor module to enhance your NODE+’s functionality.

With an open API, and new modules in development, there is not limit to what NODE+ can do!

Technical Specifi cations

For fi tness, logistics, vibration analysis, and gaming, motion is only as good as it is useful.

NODE+motion measures nine degrees of motion with a 9DOF IMU, which allows NODE+ to accurately measure its orientation and movement.

This is made possible through the combination of a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a three-axis magnetometer.

NODE+motion makes sensing movement truly mobile.

NODE+ transmits accurate data via Bluetooth 4.0 to your iOS smart device up to 250 feet away.

Other interchangeable sensor modules can be attached to either end of the NODE, thus expanding functionality.
