SENSOR PUCK USER’SGUIDE

1. Introduction

The sensor puck demonstrates Silicon Laboratories optical sensor (Si1147-M01) RH and temperature sensor

(Si7021) and low power MCU (EFM32G210 “Gecko”). The data is broadcast using a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

module and can be displayed on a mobile device (Apple iOS or Android) that supports the BLE protocol.

By using broadcast mode, a connection does not have to be established, making it possible to display the data

from several modules at the same time.

2. Evaluation Kit Description

Figure 1. Silicon Labs Sensor Puck

The evaluation kit consists of a sensor puck with a battery and the on/off switch in the off position. Install the battery

if it is not installed. The + terminal of the battery faces away from the board towards the + terminal of the battery

holder. Remove the pull tab separating the battery from the battery holder if needed. When the switch is turned on,

the puck will automatically start taking and broadcasting data. For the puck itself, there is no installation required.

The data that is broadcast is generally displayed on a mobile device. To display the data the Silicon Labs Sensor

Puck app must be installed on the mobile device. The application is available for no charge from the Apple App

Store or the Google Play Store. (Search for Silicon Labs Sensor Puck.)

3. Operation

Environmental mode

Measures ambient light, UV index, ambient temperature, and ambient humidity.

This is the default mode of operation and the lowest power.

In this mode of operation measurements are taken and broadcast (once per second).

The LED flashes green once per measurement cycle.

The battery current consumption in this mode is approximately 1.5 mA average, which means that a standard CR2032

battery will last about five days. The battery for this demo is not rechargeable so it must be replaced if it is depleted.

Biometric mode

At the once per second interval for environmental monitoring, the puck checks for the presence of an object over the

Si1147-M01 (under the acrylic cover).

If an object is detected the puck will go into biometric mode and attempt to measure heart rate.

Heart rate is measured by the reflection of IR light from an LED inside the Si1147-M01.

The light is reflected from a finger-tip to measure the heart rate.

In biometric mode the power consumption goes up to 7 mA, so battery life will decrease to about one day in this mode.

In biometric mode, the LED will flash red while it is acquiring the heartbeat and then switches to continuous green once

the heartbeat has been acquired.

To avoid excessive power drain in case the puck is left on and covered with an object, the puck will exit biometric mode

after 90 seconds. In this case, the object must be removed and a finger should be placed over the acrylic cover to start

biometric monitoring again.

The data from the puck is broadcast over a BLE “advertisement” packet. The mobile device that displays the data does

not need to make a connection to the puck. For this reason, it possible that a single mobile device (i.e. a phone) can

display data from multiple pucks.

4. Sensor Puck Applications

There is a Sensor Puck app for iOS devices and another Sensor Puck app for Android devices. Both apps are

named “Silicon Labs Sensor Puck”.

The iOS Sensor Puck app can be installed from the Apple App Store. The iOS app runs on devices with iOS 7 and

higher, and has Bluetooth 4.0 hardware. Silicon Labs has verified that the iOS app runs on iPhone 4S, 5, 5S, 6 and

6 Plus. The iOS app also runs on iPad 3 and 4.

The Android Sensor Puck app can be installed from the Google Play Store. The Android app runs on devices with

Android version 4.3 and higher, and has Bluetooth 4.0 hardware. Silicon Labs has verified that the Android app

runs on the following devices: Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galasy S5, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, Motorola

Moto E, Motorola Moto G, HTC Desire, HTC One Max, LG Nexus 5, LG G Flex, Sony Z1, Sony T2 Ultra, and Asus

Nexus 7.

When the puck is in environmental mode, the Silicon Labs Sensor Puck app displays the environmental screen:

The environmental screen displays the environmental sensor measurements and the battery status. The puck

name is displayed at the top of the screen. The temperature scale can be changed between Celsius and

Fahrenheit by tapping the small C and F buttons.

When the puck is in biometric mode, the Android Sensor Puck displays the biometric screen.

The iOS Sensor Puck app does not have a biometric screen. The iOS app displays the heart rate in the lower right

corner of the environmental screen:

If there are several sensor pucks, you can use the navigation drawer to select a different puck. To open the

navigation drawer, tap on the three-line icon in the upper left corner of the screen or swipe from the left edge of the

screen.

5.1. Schematics

Figure 7 shows the block diagram of the puck with debug header MCU, the sensors, and the Bluetooth module.

Figure 7. Block Diagram

Figure 8 shows the power section. The CR2032 battery is used to power most of the ICs. A boost converter is used

to produce 4.1 V which is used to power the LED of the Si1147 so it can be driven at higher current than is possible

with a coin cell battery.

Figure 8. Power Section

Figure 9 shows the EFM32G210 “Gecko” MCU. The 24 MHz clock is only used in active periods. For lower power

consumption, the internal 32 KHz R-C clock is used as much as possible. A special calibration routine is used to

calibrate the 32 KHz clock against the 24 MHz crystal for accuracy in the UART communication speed while in low

power mode.
