The ThunderBoard-React is a cloud-connected, Bluetooth Smart-enabled, sensor-driven platform from Silicon Labs that enables customers to demonstrate, evaluate, and develop their own unique applications. It leverages Silicon Labs’ BGM111 Bluetooth Smart module as a wireless system-on-chip (SoC) to collect various sensor data and deliver it to the cloud through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-enabled iOS/Android mobile apps.

The ThunderBoard-React is a great demonstration and evaluation tool to easily add BLE connectivity to a sensor or actuator application. The mobile app seamlessly communicates between the ThunderBoard and the cloud database to visualize sensor data collected or control the LED states on the ThunderBoard-React hardware. Individual components of the ThunderBoard-React can be easily integrated and modified in order to add BLE-to-cloud connectivity for a user’s particular application.
