On this episode of Chalk Speak, Amelia Dalton, Mark Grierson from Digi, and Rob (our Rob) discover how Digi and SparkFun are working collectively to make mobile linked IoT design simpler than ever earlier than. They examine the advantages that the Digi Distant Supervisor® brings to IoT design, the main points of the SparkFun Digi XBee Growth Equipment, and how one can get began utilizing a SparkFun Board for XBee on your subsequent design.
The video exhibits you all you want from Digi and SparkFun to convey your IoT goals into actuality! Listed here are only a few highlights from this informative discuss:
Mark gave a rundown of the Digi XBee Ecosystem, masking all of the completely different capabilities their modules have, in addition to a few of their software program integrations.
- The Digi Xbee Ecosystem provides you entry to 16 wi-fi protocols throughout their 3 kind components
- XBee Studio is an interface you should use to configure your gadgets, carry out updates, run MicroPython, and be taught extra about your Digi XBee up shut.
- Digi Distant Supervisor is effectively, distant! You may configure gadgets, monitor your IoT setup’s well being and safety, stream your knowledge, and combine different programs by means of the API, all remotely.
Mark additionally mentioned the Digi Sensor Lab, a collaboration with SparkFun.
- The Sensor Lab is an indication that exhibits the total journey of information, from machine to cloud, utilizing the Digi XBee boards from SparkFun.
- Among the use circumstances included coronary heart price monitoring, asset monitoring, agriculture and irrigation monitoring, and entry management with RFID.
Rob then takes us by means of the SparkFun choices with the Digi XBee.
- The SparkFun Digi XBee Growth Equipment has the whole lot it is advisable to create a full fledged IoT knowledge pipeline, full with a SIM card for mobile connectivity, a Qwiic humidity sensor, and all of the connectors you will want.
- There are 4 growth boards we have now that incorporate the Digi XBee, which come in several footprints with completely different connectivity choices.
- These boards are suitable with the Qwic join system, which implies testing and prototyping along with your Digi XBee has by no means been simpler – get linked with no soldering and no have to plan out advanced wiring.
- Rob additionally covers a use case of measuring tectonic plates and continental drift to alert close by populations to dangers of landslides, earthquakes and avalanches utilizing exact GNSS tools and Digi Xbee Mobile communication.
