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 offers a fast take a look at the brand new prototyping instruments after which strikes to the demo.
CHALLENGE
At SparkFun now we have water, primarily a river, that flows underneath our constructing – making flooding in our basement a threat. We wanted a approach to monitor the sump pumps to point if there may be flooding.
SOLUTION
Throughout this demo, Kirk (our CTO), takes viewers into our basement to reveal how he constructed a system to watch the pumps utilizing the MicroMod and QWiic ecosystems – together with a pair sensors to watch 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 info transmitted by means of the cable is displayed utilizing Machinechat.
