Sensor Development Kit for IoT , RSL10 sensor

 Postscape estimates that by the end of this year, 2020, approximately 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet. A huge percentage of these devices are short-range wireless systems that use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to connect to the internet. This is evidence enough that IoT is taking the world by storm. Engineers are constantly trying ways of incorporating IoT into various aspects of our lives from production to agriculture. As such, Development kits for IoT come in handy in the sense they make prototyping faster and easier. Sensor development kit for IoT, therefore, comes in handy when developing IoT systems.




BLE based sensor development KIT for IoT

The RSL10 Sensor Development Kit by ON Semiconductor is one such kind. It offers engineers a comprehensive platform for developing IoT applications that embody cutting-edge smart sensor technology. Most notably it uses Bluetooth Low Energy radio. Using this platform can be used to develop industrial wearables, smart monitoring, and asset monitoring. Using the RSL10 sensor development kit you can also come up with medical, home automation, gaming, smart city, and consumer electronics applications.

RSL10 sensor development kit architecture

This sensor development kit combines highly integrated RSL 10 SIP alongside a variety of low power sensors from Bosch Sensortec. The sensors include environmental, inertial, geomagnetic, and ambient light sensors. As a result, the platform offers 9 degrees-of-freedom detection and environmental monitoring (Volatile Organic Compound, temperature, pressure, ambient light, and relative humidity.) The RSL10 sensor development kit also incorporates pushbuttons, a programmable RGB LED, a microphone, and a 64Kbit of EEPROM.

Types

There two variants of the RSL10 Sensor development kit for IoT;

  • Base version (RSL 10-SENSE-GEVK)
  • Debug version (RSL10- SENSE-DB-GEVK)

The debug version has a populated 10-pin debug header alongside a Segger J-Link LITE Cortes debugger. The debugger connects to this header comes alongside the development kit. The user will require a TC2050 connector on the base variant for debugging.

Features of the RSL10

  • Based on RSL10 SIP
  • Bluetooth 5 certified
  • Certified to international wireless regulations including CE, IC, KC, MIC, and FCC
  • Embodies NOA1305 for ambient light
  • BH160- Integrated low-power smart hub, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope
  • BHI150 – Integrated low-power, Low-Noise 3-axis digital geomagnetic sensor
  • BME 680- Integrated high-accuracy gas, pressure, humidity, and temperature sensor
  • INMP522- Ultra-low Noise digital Microphone
  • APTF1616 – Programmable RGB LED
  • N24RF64 – 64KB NFC EEPROM
  • 3 push buttons (programmable)
  • RSL10 Sense and control app supported

Mid-Power LEDs: Less Expensive for LED Lights

Image
  Mid-power LEDs Do you see that sleek, ultra-thin HD TV set in front of you? Well, its existence has been made possible by mid-power LEDs. Which can be  powered the shift from old cold CRT backlight TV. These are tiny LEDs measuring a few millimeters square. Courtesy of their size and weight, hundreds of them can be fitted unto a single light source but still weigh less than 250 grams. They can be pa packaged densely compared to high-power white LEDs. They offer relatively high-power white LEDs and a more uniform appearance. They also consume less power. Mid-power is for many reasons touted as the best alternative for LED lighting. High-power, mid-power, and low power LEDs To get a better grasp on mid-power LEDs is important to understand the three classifications of LEDs Low power They were the earliest LEDs in the market and were mostly used for indicator lights and identifying the status of machine condition. High power They are costly thus were initially used for research. Comme

An Introduction to Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) Motors

Image
The growing popularity Has your phone vibrated today? Well then, you just experienced a  brushless DC (BLDC) motor  in action.  BLDC motors  are synchronous motors that are powered by direct current through a drive module or controller. BLDC motors have witnessed rapid growth in popularity owing to their construction that makes them superior to the brushed counterparts. BLDC motor construction Rotor The rotor is made up of permanent magnets and its number of poles (North and South poles) varies from two to eight pairs. The permanent magnets are made from ferrite magnets. However, permanent magnets made from rare earth alloys are increasingly becoming popular owing to the advancement in technology. Rare earth alloys offer more magnetic density per volume while enabling the rotor to compress further for the same amount of torque. Such alloys also improve the size to weight ratio. There are two rotor designs for BLDC motors; the inner rotor and the outer rotor design. I

Little Know more about Brush-less Motors

Image
Brushless motors Brushless differs from conventional dc motors in the sense that it does not have brushes. Commutation is done using electronic drives to feed power to the stator windings. They consist of a rotor which is in the form of a permanent magnet and a stator that is in the form of polyphase armature windings. A  brushless DC motor  can be constructed in two ways; one is by placing the rotor outside the core and the other is by placing the rotor inside the core. How a brushless motor works Brushless motors are driven by electronic drives that  switch  the supply voltage between the stator windings while the rotor turns. There is a transducer that monitors the position of the rotor as it turns and conveys the information to an electronic controller. The controller then decides which stator winding to be energized based on the position of the rotor. Electronic drives are made up of two transistors each phase which is run by a microprocessor. The magnetic field i
