Expand your network or system prototype with the Bridge SNAP node

The SN163 Bridge is equipped with a USB port, providing a fast and reliable connection to Synapse Portal or SNAPconnect running on a PC. As it's name implies, this board makes an ideal bridge device for connecting external systems to the SNAP network.

• Compatible with all Synapse RF Engines
• RS-232 port with full hardware flow control (UART1)
• 2-Digit 7-segment LED, software controllable
• Status LED and select switch, also under user software control
• Battery or external power option
• USB port (UART0) which can also provide power

Powered by any of the three models of the Synapse RF Engine Modules, the Bridge SNAP node provides peer-to-peer mesh networking capabilities. By means of its USB port, the Bridge SNAP node provides a fast, reliable connection to Synapse Portal and/or the SNAPconnect running on your PC. As soon as you select your RF Engine and power-up the Bridge SNAP node, it immediately integrates into the network.


Using Synapse Portal, applications can be created quickly and concisely in a high-level English-like language called Python and then downloaded to the selected node(s) wirelessly for autonomous operation. No embedded programming experience is required.
