  3. Prototyping Helium’s hardware suite makes it dead simple to prototype

    sensing applications. 1. Select a sensor 2. Plug it into a Helium Dev Board 3. Write Helium Script 4. Deploy
  4. Helium Element Access Point • Helium Element Access Point routes

    data for any number of sensors in range • Connects to Helium Cloud via Ethernet and Cellular • Small form factor with huge coverage range • Zero configuration; deploys in seconds • Routes encrypted, bi-directional data • Enables any type of wireless sensing on Helium.
  5. Helium Atom Development Board • Primary prototyping platform for Helium

    • Built around the Helium Atom; dual band 802.15.4 wireless, compute / scripting, security, flash storage, and much more. • Speaks I2C natively; can support multiple I2C sensors in parallel
  6. Helium Analog Extension Board • Extends Helium Dev Board to

    make analog sensing possible. • Supports 0-24V • Can also measure Current: 0-500mA • Scriptable with Helium Script • Popular analog sensing types: Accelerometers, Light, Pressure, Sound, Temp / Thermistors.
  7. Helium Digital Extension Board • Adds Digital sensing capabilities to

    Helium Dev Board. • 10 Pin Sensor Bus for easy connection to Helium Dev Board with ribbon cable. • 16 Digital GPIOs; all software-configurable via Helium Script • In Script, set interrupts on any digital pin and have them fire interrupts to Dev Board.
  8. Helium 4-20mA Smart Sensor Adapter • Opens Helium platform to

    millions of existing industrial sensors already on the market and/or in the field. • Turns any sensor that outputs 4-20mA into a wireless device. (Uses analog extension board under the hood.) • Scriptable with Helium Script • Popular 4-20mA sensing types: vibration, acceleration, pressure, C02/VOCs, fill level, etc.
