The Electronics and Automation show is a bi-annual exhibition for electronics in the Netherlands.
On this event, a life production line is presented, that will produce a gadget. This gadget is free for every visitor (after pre-registration).
Engineering Spirit has provided the design of the gadget; a "wireless sensor" with a dongle on the PC and a sensor module elsewhere. The module for the gadget contains a temperature sensor that can be used outside.
|
The dongle unit plugs into the PC. It is provided with a program to communicate with it and to access the (wireless) connected module.
The communication protocol is IEEE 802.15.4 based. The current implementation uses bidirectional sensor-to-dongle communication, and can be used for many different types of sensors. A Microchip tranceiver and controller are used to handle the protocol stack (in firmware).
