OpenBeacon

OpenBeacon provides cutting-edge technologies for tracking and transmitting data, including hardware specifications such as a 3D accelerometer for real-time movement detection and a proximity and tracking protocol. The project is built on open-source software and a flexible, open design, utilizing the nRF51822 chip, which is fully compatible with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for RFID tracking. OpenBeacon provides an open source crystal-controlled QRPp beacon transmitter that outputs slow-speed modes, such as CW, QRSS, DFCW, and Sequential Multi-tone Hellschreiber. Our project welcomes new ideas for setups and firmware improvements. In addition, OpenBeacon offers hardware for low-power scanning and wireless notifications.
