Kinetis W Microcontroller Bluetooth Packet Sniffer USB Dongle Board

The USB-KW40Z is a development platform enabled by the Kinetis W series KW40Z/30Z/20Z (KW40Z) family built on the ARM Cortex -M0+ processor in a convenient USB dongle form factor. The USB-KW40Z can be used as a Bluetooth Smart/Bluetooth Low Energy and/or IEEE 802.15.4 packet sniffer or development board. Packet sniffers are essential for wireless network development allowing over-the-air traffic monitoring.
