Low-Power Cellular IoT with Jared Wolff of Circuit Dojo

So what differentiates the NRF9151 Feather from other development board solutions and

the so there are i guess there are other ones out there primarily if you think like you get the nordic ones and the nordic ones are fairly large large and in charge here so this is not a this is on an f91 but this is a 52 board but they're about the same so the nf-91s are actually much larger um so if anybody wants to put it in you know into their own product, and it's going to be, if they want it to be a reasonable amount of size, then it's an option for them to kind of take advantage of it, but it's squished down into a much more efficient size.

So you can see the difference here between the size of the two.

Yeah, maybe like a fifth of the size or even less.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I went with Feathers just because Adafruit, they did a really great job in defining it.

And that's what Particle was using at the time.

So I was like, okay, this is interesting.

Like there's some ecosystem behind it.

And that's kind of where I went with it.

So it can stand alone or you can plug it into things.

I think my customers are kind of 50-50.

Some of them just use them straight like this.

And some of them actually plug into other daughter boards and things like that.

Sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a very nice form factor.

It's very small.

It's obvious you've put a lot of time into it.

making the circuitry very compact to fit in such a form factor.

And really, this takes care of a lot of the hard parts.

I don't know how hard all the RF engineering and all that stuff is for using a bare, just an RF 9151 module by itself.
