Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect and configure the Gravity WiFi IoT Module with my SCI DAQ?

Connect the module to the SCI DAQ's I2C port using a Gravity 4-pin cable. Power the system via the module's USB Type-C port. Use the DFRobot web configuration portal (accessed via a temporary Wi-Fi network) to input your local 2.4GHz Wi-Fi SSID and password. The module will then connect automatically and begin relaying sensor data from the SCI DAQ to the pre-configured IoT platform without any code.

What is the power requirement and can I run this module on a battery?

The module requires a stable 5V DC supply, typically provided via its USB Type-C port. It consumes approximately 30mA during normal operation. You can power it using a USB power bank, a 5V battery pack with a Type-C output, or any standard USB adapter. Ensure your battery source can provide a clean 5V output to maintain stable Wi-Fi connectivity and reliable data transmission for long-term deployments.

Can I use this module with sensors other than those from the Gravity series?

The module is specifically designed as a bridge for the DFRobot Gravity SCI DAQ Module. The SCI DAQ is responsible for reading the sensors. Therefore, you can only use sensors that are compatible with the SCI DAQ's analog and digital input channels. While it excels with the Gravity sensor ecosystem, any sensor the SCI DAQ can read and digitize can have its data transmitted wirelessly via this WiFi IoT Module.
