Arduino Day - suggestion: DIN housing with LAN, CAN and LoRa

Jan Cumps

For Arduino Day, belated, a few photos of a project I'm working on.

Arduino MKR 1310 LoRa with Ethernet shield and CAN-shield. In a DIN mounted housing and a LoRa range antenna.

It is going to be part of a light industrial test setup.

 

The housing is Arduino MKR DIN rail housing from e14 member .

Inside:

This will be one of a few replaceable options.

I also have a TI CC1100 with a rod antenna, put in a smaller DIN housing, that can do sub-1 GHz duty,

an Avnet SmartEdge IIOTConnect that can do CAN, WiFi  and Ethernet,

and a DIN mounted Raspberry Pi that can do Ethernet, Wifi and can be paired with my home-made CAN driver,

Happy Arduino Day

  • In the above photos, I put the sun-1 GHz antenna on the transparent front to make the photo interesting.
    As you can see, I had just put some tape on the back and taped it to the front panel from the backside.

    Now I'm working on a real design*, I'm doing it different.
    Use the self-adhesive properties of the antenna: the MOLEX 105262 that I'm using has a 3M adhesive backside.
    Mount it out of sight: the transparent front will be used for status LEDs and a display.

    This will position the antenna horizontal (flat parallel to earth). If you get better reception by placing it vertically, you can glue it on the other side of the corner I taped it to. It fits there too.
