Over the week-end we have updated the Rapid IoT Studio servers to improve user experience further. On top of few examples on elements usage, we have now made the NFC Tag element available. Check attached example project on a simple use case. The tag embedded in Rapid Iot is updated every 10 seconds with the temperature sensor information. You can read the NFC Tag back using a NFC reader and taping it at the back of Rapid IoT

The NXP Rapid IoT Kit was developed to help you turn your product from an idea to a real product that provides a solution to your customers. To learn more about how the Rapid IoT can help you achieve this, I have attached a fact sheet that serves as a quick overview. Here's an excerpt from the fact sheet: "Rapid IoT combines optimized hardware design including processing, connectivity and trusted security with proven software including drivers, middleware and GUI based programming enabling anyone to easily take your IoT idea to a proof of concept (POC)." If you are ready to start developing, click here to get your kit, learn how to get started, and download all the necessary software and documentation so you can start designing your product today. Also, feel free to leave us comments and questions here. We would love to hear from you!  

Check out this video highlighting the Rapid IoT out-of-the-box experience. We would love to hear what you think about the video and your experience using Rapid IoT. Enjoy! Javier
