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 small print of the SparkFun Digi XBee Growth Package, and how one can get began utilizing a SparkFun Board for XBee in your subsequent design.
The video exhibits you all you want from Digi and SparkFun to convey your IoT goals into actuality! Listed here are just some highlights from this informative speak:
Mark gave a rundown of the Digi XBee Ecosystem, masking all of the totally different capabilities their modules have, in addition to a few of their software program integrations.
- The Digi Xbee Ecosystem offers you entry to 16 wi-fi protocols throughout their 3 type components
- XBee Studio is an interface you should use to configure your units, carry out updates, run MicroPython, and be taught extra about your Digi XBee up shut.
- Digi Distant Supervisor is nicely, distant! You possibly can configure units, 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 knowledge, from machine to cloud, utilizing the Digi XBee boards from SparkFun.
- A few of 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 Package has all the things you want 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 improvement boards we’ve got that incorporate the Digi XBee, which come in several footprints with totally different connectivity choices.
- These boards are suitable with the Qwic join system, which implies testing and prototyping together with your Digi XBee has by no means been simpler – get linked with no soldering and no must plan out complicated 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 gear and Digi Xbee Mobile communication.
