ChatterBox Proximity Sensing E-Paper Mesh Node
A fully capable ChatterBox E-Paper mini-node with the addition of a doppler-based proximity sensor. Since this sensor uses mmWave technology, it can sense presence and motion through thin barriers as well (thin walls).
Just like the standard E-Paper node, this proximity sensing node also features an easy-to-read E-Paper display and high precision realtime clock.
Be aware the proximity sensor uses quite a bit of power, so if powered exclusively by battery, you will likely have around 12 hours of runtime. You’ll get better results if you have this connected to a constant source of power.
The E-Paper display keeps the last message showing, even if power and battery are completely disconnected.

Suitable for either a base station or portable node
Accessible SMA connector allows you to customize antenna (or utilize amp)
Includes 2000 mAh LiPo battery (recharge via USB-C cable)
Screen displays broadcast messages, number of nearby neighbors, and other info
E-Paper display keeps last message showing, even if power and battery are completely disconnected
High precision realtime clock allows the device to keep accurate time even without GPS
This node also broadcasts time to nearby devices so other GPS-dependent devices can startup quicker
