Roll over image to zoom in

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.

Note: K32W061/41 is preferred for any new Zigbee®, Thread and Bluetooth® LE 5.0 design. No new software releases planned
