RFDuino

An update for those following this.

I dug out my RFduino and hooked them up.

While they look like a great device with plenty of options, the BLE stack commands and data is rather limited.

I was unable to find any setting to give the MAC address, so they aren't of use in my application.

The datasheet for the BLE module is here http://www.rfdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/RFD22301.Data.Sheet.08.20.15_4.36PM.pdf

They are much lower power consumption than many of the other offerings, so it's a pity.

The good news is my Microwave detectors (from the second source) arrived just now.

That means I can do some experimenting, and try out some ideas I have for the enclosure.

I thought this might amuze some ....

Thanks [mention:d214a0a0f5594ee19515b2a3782e7070:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

Luckily I had a chance to read [mention:b0bc65b9ecdc4307bd967592f00e340a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] post about Swann Cameras.

Swann cameras may be worth avoiding for a while..

[mention:2f7f3f52ea644a4ba1053d94e948bd06:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] referenced issues with tapplock, and in the article they mention BT and RFduino.

I happen to have a couple of RFduinos at home, and maybe the BT they have will be easier than the HC05.

(Job for later today ...)

Nice update Mark.

I agree, the CNC machine looks interesting.

Nice update to your design challenge project. Very interesting process there to get the device to communicate/setup. Hopefully you can find a seamless way to get the devices to repeatedly do what you need them to do.

Good luck,

Gene
