Helium Arduino/mbed Adapter

Helium adapters offer a straightforward way to connect the Atom Prototyping Module to well - known embedded devices. The Helium Arduino/mbed Adapter is a user - friendly shield. It features two SMA connectors, an Atom socket, and several breakout pins, all arranged in an Arduino R3 layout. Each shield comes with a 2.4GHz and a Sub - GHz antenna, ensuring great range and functionality. You can easily tell them apart as the shorter one is always the 2.4GHz version. Helium is a comprehensive IoT application - building toolkit that connects to public clouds. The pre - built, secure connection from Atom modules interacts with Helium Channels. These channels act as a convenient layer between sensors and your preferred cloud, whether it's Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud IoT Core, or a private option. They can also send device data to apps and services using common protocols like HTTP and MQTT.

Using this Helium Arduino/mbed Adapter is a breeze. First, connect the Atom Prototyping Module to the adapter. The layout in Arduino R3 makes it easy to match the pins. Then, attach the two antennas that come with the shield. Remember, the shorter one is for 2.4GHz. When setting up, ensure that the adapter is properly connected to your embedded device. This helps to establish a stable connection with the cloud through Helium Channels. For maintenance, keep the adapter in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you have any issues with the connection or the antennas, check the physical connections first. Also, make sure your cloud settings are configured correctly for the best performance.
