RE: XMC4200 Interface with BLE Mesh Kit (Blog6)

Kiera — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 06:15:19 GMT

I have a number of wireless wearable mini projects that I'm hoping to be able to work together using ble mesh to do so these board look larger than what I hope to use on my body to enhance performance and fun one Item will be a skirt that when I spin in 1 direction will light up in one colour and when I spin in other direction it will be a different colour spin detected by 6Dof sensor built into hat that has light up elements that may change based on movement or direct input from special box in handbag or on table that can be set to control different rgb lights and read different sensor inputs from around my body. curious if smaller boards boards that will be able to handle the ble-mesh side and connect to different sensors over I2C (preferably via a plug thanks to some health issues/ disablities I find soldering in some forms a bit too hard but if these (dev boards) exist then I will soon be looking to make use of them. Any links to good boards for me would be great. Thanks Kiera

I did a similar project a few years ago and used a similar solenoid valve from Adafruit that has 1/2" pipe fittings. The Sparkfun solenoid says that it is 3/4" but the spec and picture look like it is 1/2".

Here is the adapter that I used to connect the solenoid to the faucet - Gilmour Double Female Brass Swivel Connector Thread Size 1/2" NPT (F) to 3/4" NH (F) 805574-1001, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FJZYR0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .

If your unit is really 3/4", Amazon also has similar fittings in 3/4".

It looks like you are using a very sandy soil.

Your plants will require more water and food using that type of soil.

You might consider adding more organic material to the mixture to improve water retention.

Could you provide us a summary of what the software is supposed to do and how you implemented it?

How are you monitoring the moisture level?

Are you running a program to monitor temperature and humidity?

You can estimate the water need for most plants at 3 mm per day during the hot summer months.

Wow really great work! The prototype looks amazing, as well as the overall setup, which is super clean and tidy! Also nice descriptions of your blogs.

Well done, you can be proud of yourself.

The whole design looks quite nice in red. Really elegant.

I am interested, in how well your prototype will predict the weather and how it will work. A really interesting approach.

Another way, of how you could solve the problem, is like a colleague of mine. He uses the real time data of the forecasts to decide if he will adjust his blinds or protect his solar panels from bad weather.

But still, I like your idea! Also really cute dog pictures, which are always a plus [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-d483952a-365d-4dce-95fd-6d22ecd8c4de/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Wish you all the best!

Interesting, that you developed a board for it. Really nice way, to make everything look tidy and clean. Have you uploaded the PCB files somewhere or are you thinking about providing them? [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-fcc8a3ef-2d57-467b-bc10-bf837c96024f/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16] I think some people could profit from your work.

Very cool! I like that you are using this Snap Circuits.

Great idea!

Hi Karthik,

What does the photo mean? I see no text, just a photo, (and the title wasn't very descriptive) so it's hard to see what you're trying to say/show.

Is this a blog that is in-progress and still being written?
