Notecarriers are companion development boards designed to make it easy to prototype and deploy IoT solutions with the Notecard.
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 supports Notecard Outboard Firmware Update, which delivers "over the air" firmware updates to your host MCU without involving firmware running on the host MCU directly. See the Notecard Outboard Firmware Update Guide for details.
Notecarriers require a Notecard to function. Notecarrier F is compatible with all available Notecards. See the Notecards section for more details or get started with a Blues Starter Kit.
