Pepper C1 Module Baseboard

The Pepper C1 module baseboard is a development and evaluation board for the Pepper C1 Module product with wireless connectivity. Thanks to this, the customer receives free lifetime Over-the-Air updates, and of course the communication protocol can be used over TCP instead of traditional UART/USB interface. Combining these features with standalone mode provides a ready to use device in many applications “straight out of the box.” In standalone mode, the module can also send a tag UID over MQTT or WebSockets, and so can easily be integrated with IoT systems.

The baseboard is intended to be used for quick and easy learning of the functionalities of the Pepper C1 Module before incorporating the Pepper C1 module into a final design. Only USB connection is needed to start using this powerful RFID Reader development board.

The baseboard is a complete reader and tag acceptance solution for passive RF transponders such like MIFARE Classic® 1K, MIFARE Classic® 4K, NTAG2xx®, MIFARE Ultralight®, ICODE (ISO 15693), MIFARE DESFire® EV1/EV2 and MIFARE Plus® . The C1 module is designed with embedded applications in mind.

Eccel Technology Ltd provide a wide range of suitable antennas designed to be used with this module. The user can select between an integral, on-board PCB antenna, standard antenna from our “green” line of RFID external antenna or flexible antennas designed especially to be used with the C1 module.

The board does NOT come with C1 module fitted. The user must purchase it separately and attach to the Baseboard by soldering.
