    Hi Nikky, I'm Marcus from Thingsquare. Great to hear that you are interested in our product!

    To try out the Thingsquare system, we provide pre-compiled binaries to flash eg a SmartRF06 + CC2538EM and assembly instructions at this link: github.com/.../README.md

    You seem to already have found the app, but for others, here it is on the Play Store: play.google.com/.../details , on the iOS appstore: itunes.apple.com/.../id988476415

    Best, Marcus

    Hi,

    great! Yeah, the above mentioned binaries is a pre-compiled demo application which reads some of the SmartRF sensors etc. As they are pre-compiled, you can't add your own drivers etc to it so unfortunately you won't be able to control your motor with it. What you can use it for is to get a hint of how our system works and performs by reading sensors and controlling LEDs. With customers we often help with writing drivers and writing a small application.

    I wish you best of luck with your project, and when you are finished it would be great seeing a writeup and read about it :).

    Best,
    Marcus

    Depends on what you mean.

    Is it possible to use custom hardware with our system? Of course, the SmartRF+cc2538em etc are ok for prototypes but when moving to a product you build custom hardware, or take a shorter path by buying modules from eg Zolertia which removes the need to design the hard RF-parts.

    Is it possible to use non-cc2538 with our system? Yes, we support a range of chips (SOCs or mcu+radio) whereof cc2538 is one. The cc2538 is 2.4 GHz, but we also support cc2538+cc1200 for sub-GHz.

    Is it possible to use other firmware than the pre-compiled binaries mentioned above? Naturally, those binaries are just simple demos. A customer product typically includes a custom application, and in some cases drivers for peripherals.
