This board is a great option for wireless sensor monitoring, asset tracking, retail beacons or even making your own beacon tag for real-time location monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IN100 can be powered by a single 3V coin cell battery so SparkFun have added a 12mm coin cell battery holder (CR1225 battery \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e included) to power the board. They've added a Qwiic connector to allow for easy integration into the ever-expanding \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/qwiic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eQwiic ecosystem\u003c\/a\u003e. One side of the board breaks out the UART interface to a 0.1\"-spaced through-hole header to connect a \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/sparkfun-serial-basic-breakout-ch340c-and-usb-c\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSerial Basic\u003c\/a\u003e for serial communication. The other side breaks out four of the IN100's GPIO pins (4-7) as well as the two I\/O power switch pins (SW0 and SW1). Lastly, they've included a \"Notes\" space on the back of the board for you to write any notes or labels to differentiate between different NanoBeacon boards at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is designed for applications requiring a rapid implementation with minimal assembly and modification. It includes male headers soldered to the 0.1\"-spaced through-hole pins on the board and does not include the power LED or reset button as expected applications most likely will not need those two components. Users looking for a prototyping option for development on the IN100 before integrating it into a production environment may want to consider getting the \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/sparkfun-nanobeacon-lite-board-in100\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSparkFun NanoBeacon Lite Board - IN100\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe InPlay NanoBeacon Config Tool allows for software-free programming of the IN100. This tool provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to select settings and configure the module removing any need to perform any tricky programming for advertising and pairing to send and receive data packets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImportant!\u003c\/b\u003e When programming the IN100 with the InPlay NanoBeacon Config Tool, the \u003cb\u003e\"Burn\/Program\"\u003c\/b\u003e option uploads the settings and locks the module.

All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector.
