Thunderboard Sense 2

Sense Makes Everything

SLTB004A

Silicon Labs' Thunderboard Sense 2 is an excellent starting point to get familiar with the EFR32™ Mighty Gecko 32-bit Wireless SoC. The kit contains sensors and peripherals demonstrating some of the SoC's many capabilities and can serve as a starting point for application development. The Thunderboard Sense 2 features a whopping 7 sensors, four RGB LEDs, an integrated SEGGER J-Link debugger, and MSD programming, which makes it a very full-featured platform for IoT development.
