SparkFun MicroMod Cellular Function Board - Blues Wireless Notecarrier

The SparkFun MicroMod Cellular Function Board adds cellular connectivity to the MicroMod ecosystem using the Blues Wireless Notecard (NOTE-NBGL-500). The Notecard includes a built-in SIM card with a 10-year data plan and 500MB of data, covering over 140 countries — no separate carrier contract required.

Beyond cellular data, the Notecard features integrated GNSS, a 3-axis accelerometer with on-chip temperature sensor, and support for outboard device firmware updates (DFU) via Blues' Notehub cloud service. Communication with the Notecard can be configured over I2C, UART, or USB, with comprehensive API support in C, Python, and JSON.

Key Features

  • Blues Notecard NOTE-NBGL-500 – Cellular module with built-in SIM and 10-year / 500MB data plan
  • 140+ Country Coverage – Global cellular connectivity out of the box (see covered countries)
  • Integrated GNSS – Onboard GPS for location tracking
  • 3-Axis Accelerometer – Motion sensing with on-chip temperature sensor
  • Over-the-Air DFU – Remotely reprogram connected processors via Notehub (select processors only)
  • Multiple Communication Options – I2C, UART, or USB serial to the Notecard
  • USB-C Debug Port – Direct serial interface for command debugging with the Notecard CLI
  • Nano-SIM Socket – Add an external SIM for additional country coverage
  • Configurable User Button – Programmable input for custom functionality
  • Multiple Status LEDs – VIO, VIN, AEN, modem activity, user activity, plus WS2812 RGB LED

Ideal For

  • IoT remote monitoring and asset tracking
  • Cellular-connected sensor networks
  • GPS tracking and geofencing applications
  • MicroMod-based field-deployed devices

Specifications

  • Cellular Module – Blues Notecard NOTE-NBGL-500
  • Data Plan – 10-year, 500MB (included)
  • Antenna Connectors – 2× U.FL (cellular + GNSS)
  • MicroMod Connector – 1× M.2
  • USB – 1× USB Type-C (Notecard serial interface)
  • I/O Voltage – 3.3V
  • Solder Jumpers – SHLD, VIO_LED, PWR_LED, AUX_EN_LED, RGB, ANT_PWR, WP, MEAS
Note: Antennas, MicroMod Processor Board, and Main Board are sold separately. A MicroMod Main Board (Single or Double) is required. Refer to the Hookup Guide for antenna specifications and compatible processors.
