Led
The EPOSMote III board have one red LED that can be used through the PC3 (1, EXP2) GPIO.
Buttons
The EPOSMote III board have one push-button, used to reset the system.
Inertial Module (iNEMO)
The ST' LSM330 is a low power 3-axis accelerometer (250µA in measurement mode and 10µA in standby mode) and giroscope (6.1mA in measurement mode, 2mA in sleep mode and 5µA in power-down mode) with a SPI/I2C interface. It has 8-bit resolution and can measure from -16G to 16G.
Temperature and Humidity Sensor
The Silicon Labs' Si7020 is a versatile temperature and humidity sensor, operated via I2C, with high precision (±4% Relative Humidity (max), 0-80% Relative Humidity) and accuracy (±0.4°C (max), –10 to 85°C). It has a low-power consumption (150µA active current and 60nA standby current), packed in a 3x3mm² DFN enclosure.
