Notecarriers are companion development boards designed to make it easy to prototype and deploy IoT solutions with the Notecard.
The Notecarrier F is a carrier board designed for quick prototyping with Adafruit Feather-based microcontrollers. It can be used with any Feather-compatible device and includes Qwiic ports for connecting I2C peripherals.
Included is a flexible Molex 209142 antenna for use with either LTE or GPS. If you require a dual LTE/GPS antenna, we recommend adding on the flexible LTE+GPS antenna (or you may choose to use your own preferred antenna).
Notecarrier F also features a switch to enable Notecard Outboard Firmware Update. This capability supports "over the air" firmware updates and does not involve firmware running on the host MCU directly.
Notecarriers require a Notecard to function. The Notecarrier F is compatible with all available Notecards. See the Notecards section for more details or get started with a Blues Starter Kit.
Available Variations
- Notecarrier F with Pre-soldered Headers (Datasheet)
- Notecarrier F with Loose Header Pins (Datasheet)

Notecarrier Pi is designed for drop-in development with a Raspberry Pi or compatible Single Board Computer. It includes a pre-soldered female 40-pin header connector for plugging directly into the Raspberry Pi, and a 40-pin connector on top for stacking other Pi “hats” and devices. It also includes a single Grove I2C port for attaching external peripherals.
Included is a flexible Molex 209142 antenna for use with either LTE or GPS. If you require a dual LTE/GPS antenna, we recommend adding on the flexible LTE+GPS antenna (or you may choose to use your own preferred antenna).

Notecarrier R is a small form-factor Notecarrier, only slightly larger than the Notecard itself. Unlike other Notecarriers, the Notecarrier R does not include an external SIM slot. It’s similar to the Notecarrier B, but we’ve swapped out the Qwiic on the B with an ESLOV connector common to many Arduino MKR and PRO Portena boards. ESLOV provides I2C pins, as well as an additional GPIO, which we’ve connected to the Notecard’s ATTN pin.
Included is a flexible Molex 209142 antenna for use with either LTE or GPS. If you require a dual LTE/GPS antenna, we recommend adding on the flexible LTE+GPS antenna (or you may choose to use your own preferred antenna).
