I have only very recently started participating in the Element14 community and so was really pleased and excited to get picked for my first RoadTest on the AVR-IoT WG Development Board! Participating in a RoadTest has certainly kick-started me i...
After spending many hour this week working with the MiniZed, I have in mind a few discussion points to ponder......1) Why aren't there any MiniZed community projects on the Zedboard.org site?Is this board not popular, or obsolete already? I look ...
I use an Arduino Mega ADK with a dated can bus shield v1.1 the can bus shield library is downloaded from https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/CAN_BUS_Shieldthe i modify the example received_check , to change the pin to 10 instead of the original 9con...
This project is about building an interesting medical application project around Honeywell pressure sensors and a Cypress PSoC6 BLE Kit.I am partnered with glennvanderveer on this project. He will be doing most of the heavy lifting now that he has re...
When I first read about the Omron HVC-P2 roadtest I was excited about the possibility of implementing a security monitoring application with a camera/image processor that had human image recognition built in. Based on the specs I thought I coul...
Road-Test Blog 3 from MyIoT: Infineon Shield2Go Boards for IoT - Review Here I used the Wemos mini D1 module and interfaced the 3D magnetic sensor TLV493D-A1B6 & DPS310 Pressure Sensor via I2C bus. I broke the mini board of 3D sensor head fo...

It's time to switch the host for the HVC-P2 from the RPi3 to the RPi0W. Integration Steps:1) Load software OS and python code and libraries2) Connect using USB OTG cable3) Test that application software is operating correctly4) Modify case a...
The previous blogs are here MyIoT: Infineon Shield2Go Boards for IoT - Review Here I present some results from the tests of the Wemos D1 mini Wifi module. This is a common module which is used with many IOT products and very cheap to buy. It is a min...
This is a continuation of results of my performance testing. I realize that I'm collecting a huge amount of data and it doesn't make sense to present the analysis of all of it, so I'm just going to summarize what I believe will be o...
IntroductionI recently swapped out a load of lighting at home, so it was an opportunity to take some of the older LED bulbs apart, to see how they are made : ) Last week, a Philips MASTER LEDspot was taken apart. This week, it is the turn of the Sylv...
As I started to think about what my test matrix would look like, I quickly realized that I had far too many variables and that I needed to try to eliminate some of them. The first parameter that I wanted to measure was detection acquisition time...
In this blog post I'm going to detail the process that I'll be using to test the performance of the HVC-P2. In following posts I'll document the test results. As I discussed in my previous post, key parameters that I am trying ...
In evaluating the HVC-P2, I'm going to focus on the feasibility of using it in a security monitoring application. As I began to think about what features that I might want in the application, I realized that I may be putting the cart before...
There is good news and bad news related to the availability of software for the HVC-P2. The good news is that there is an evaluation GUI application for Windows that is ready to run. And the product website has sample code available for C...
IntroductionI recently ordered various LED home lighting from a UK supplier (theledspecialist.co.uk), and unfortunately one arrived smashed : ( They kindly sent a replacement very quickly, but before I threw out the damaged one, I couldn't resist...
Here I did some experiments targeted to PYNQ Embedded Vision applications. It includes reading the USB camera in FPGA and projecting the image output via HDMI display on PC, testing the real time edge detection with the USB camera interfaced to the F...
Here I tried to learn different methods to program the Digilent ARTY Z7 Dev Board. One simple way is to program .vhdl file in the Vivado and then create the sdk. Another way is to create the Block diagram in the vivado and then export the hardware to...
The MIMXRT1020-EVKMIMXRT1020-EVK is the i.MX RT1020 Evaluation Kit, a 2-layer, low cost through-hole, USB-powered PCB, which recently I had the chance to test drive.On June 2018, NXP released an addition to their i.MX RT Series, the i.MX RT1020, whic...
This is part 2 from the blog MyIoT: Infineon Shield2Go Boards for IoT - Review Here I will explain in detail about the tests I performed with the Infineon Shield2Go boards and the sensors. After setting up the Arduino IDE for the XMC_BOOTKIT and...
The HVC-P2 sensing unit that I am road testing is using the Omron OKAO Vision technology. Omron has developed a number of models of these "Human Vision Components" (HVC) but I've found it difficult to find documentation on them.&n...
I'm still working on the procedure that I want to use to test the performance of the HVC-P2. While I was pondering, I thought I'd try hooking the unit up to a Linux laptop. Of course that was a disaster. I stepped into the 3...
Road Test IntroductionIt was an honor to be selected for the road test of the Advantech USB-5830 16 channel digital I/O (each) module. I have been working with crypto-mining rigs and had felt that there is a need to architecting a “smart” high-...
Since I have the HVC-P2 working with the Evaluation Software GUI on my Windows 10 box, it seemed logical to try out the sample python code there before moving to the Raspberry Pi. This code was written at least a couple of years ago so it has de...
I had some time this weekend to 3D print a case for the HVC-P2 assembly. I just wanted something simple to protect the boards and to provide the capability to mount the unit on a tripod so that I would have a stable adjustable base for my testi...
