Early 2016, there were rumors about a new Wi-Fi SensorTag being released, which would be joining the CC2650 Multi-standard SensorTag. It is now officially released with a price tag of $39.00 from the TI Sore.
The new Wi-Fi SensorTag kit is based on the low-power SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 wireless MCU, the industry’s first Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ single-chip microcontroller unit (MCU) with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. This allows the SensorTag kit to be battery powered from AAA batteries.
The Wi-Fi SensorTag kit includes 9 low-power MEMS sensors. In addition it can be expanded with the Watch DevPack for applications requiring displays and expanded with USB power with the Debug DevPack.
