Hi All,
In the previous blog6 mesh kits are interfaced with XMC4200 and tested. And here we are going to do some improvements
accounting to the final application "smart hue".
Earlier the DC motor was run by H-Bridge shield board and now i have used High Side switch to turn ON.OFF for simplicity and
to achieve higher power.
Smart Hoe Setup:
The final setup will look like below,
DC pump and LED lights are driven by the PROFIT +2 12V switch, Mesh kit is interfaced with XMC4200 Platform2 Go board through
UART communication. Sending mesh commands from BLE remotes control the lights and DC motor.
Pins Used:
#define LOAD_IN4 P2_2 // for Timer LED Light #define LOAD_IN2 P1_7 // for DC motor pump #define LOAD_IN1 P0_11 // for LED light
Mesh remote is build with mesh kit and OLED display for the user to control. This is for prototype design this remote cannot fit into
the Hoe but as a proof of concept we going to tie the kit the Hoe handle. 12v battery is the source for this setup and its get recharged by
the soar panel with 7A controller.
Controlling the Motor over Mesh:
In the next blog we will see the actual integration with Hoe.
