Explain I/O Host Bd SN Numbers

[BitManip]

I have noticed that some of the Snappy Scripts comments refer to SN numbered Host I/O Boards & understand that is the model of board that the RF Engine plugs into. I see no written documentation on any of the boards I have. How many different ones are there? Is there a place that I can go to on your web site that tells me which ones do or have what on them and thier differences? I see in the Buzzer.py script it refers to the SN171 board as being a proto board. Is that the same buzzer board that I got with my demo kit?

The boards are not new, they just got renamed for SNAP Pro.

The "SN163 Bridge Demonstration Board" was called a "Coordinator" in SNAP. Since SNAP Pro does not use a central coordinator (any node can talk to any other node), the old name no longer made sense.

The SN111 End Device Demonstration Board was just called an End Device in SNAP.

The SN171 Proto Board was briefly known as the Breakout Board. This board is realtivly new, and did not even exist when SNAPv1 was released.

So, you have all the right boards, but may know them by their old names.

As for documentation, we are very close to finishing up the new "EK2500 Evaluation Kit Users Manual". It should be posted to the forum today or tomorrow.

This manual properly introduces all three boards, and should make things a lot clearer.
