From sensor to information, this demonstration of 10BASE-T1L SPE walks by an precise use case from the deep depths of the SparkFun basement.
We had some enjoyable with our companions – Digi-Key, Analog Gadgets, Harting, and Würth Elektronik – to not solely develop 10BASE-T1L SPE prototyping instruments, however to additionally put collectively a useful demo/use case. The video beneath gives a fast have a look at the brand new prototyping instruments after which strikes to the demo.
CHALLENGE
At SparkFun we have now water, basically a river, that flows underneath our constructing – making flooding in our basement a threat. We would have liked a strategy to monitor the sump pumps to point if there’s flooding.
SOLUTION
Throughout this demo, Kirk (our CTO), takes viewers into our basement to reveal how he constructed a system to observe the pumps utilizing the MicroMod and QWiic ecosystems – together with a pair sensors to observe vibration, the SparkFun MicroMod Ethernet Operate Board, the MicroMod RP2040 Processor Board, a really lengthy single pair ethernet cable, and a handful of different elements. The information transmitted by the cable is displayed utilizing Machinechat.
