MATRIX CREATOR

Matrix Labs FPGA-driven “Matrix Creator” IoT daughter board for the Raspberry Pi 3 is loaded with sensors, 802.15.4 radios and a mic array. The disc-shaped Matrix Creator add-on for the Raspberry Pi is based on AdMobilize’s successfully Kickstartered Matrix home automation and surveillance hub. According to Matrix Labs, the Matrix Creator is the first Raspberry Pi add-on with support for NFC, as well as 802.15.4-compliant short-range wireless radios like Z-Wave, ZigBee and Thread. The device has 3D accelerometer, 3D gyroscope, 3D magnetometer, temperature sensor, ultraviolet sensor, pressure sensor, humidity sensor and 8 MEMS microphone array.
  • Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA and an Atmel ATSAM3S2C Cortex-M3 MCU
  • RGBW LED light array
  • IR RX/TX for remote controller compatibility
  • Infrared ring for the Raspberry Pi NoIR camera
  • 2 x ADC channels
  • 17 x digital GPIOs
  • SPI, I2C, UART interfaces
