Seeking Feedback: What Do You Think of This Upcoming RoadTest Product: DAQ HAT for Raspberry Pi?

Hi Roadtesters.

 

I was offered by a supplier a DAQ Hat for the Raspberry Pi for an upcoming roadtest.

 

I wanted to get your thoughts about the product. Here's a brief description-

 

The MCC 172 IEPE Measurement DAQ HAT features two channels for making sound and vibration measurements from IEPE sensors like accelerometers and microphones. It features a 24-bit A/D per channel and a maximum sample rate of 51.2 kS/s/ch. Up to eight MCC HATs can be stacked onto one Raspberry Pi. All DAQ HATs include C/C++Registered and PythonTm examples and open-source library. Comprehensive API and hardware documentation are also provided. There are five devices in the MCC DAQ HAT Series. Models are available with voltage inputs, thermocouple inputs, IEPE-based sensor inputs, analog outputs, and digital I/O allowing users to configure multifunction, Raspberry Pi-based data logger solutions.

image

  • Two IEPE inputs
  • Two 24-bit, 51.2 kS/s A/D converters (one per channel)
  • AC coupled at ±5 V
  • 10-32 and screw terminal connections for OEM support
  • Synchronous ADC conversions between multiple boards
  • Onboard sample buffers allow high-speed acquisition
  • External digital trigger input

 

What's included:

  • Choose between the MCC 172 DAQ HAT standalone, bundled with two coaxial cables (3 ft, with 10-32 plug to BNC jack), or the two coaxial cables by themselves
  • 2x20 Header connector (plugs into the 40 pin GPIO connector on the Pi board)
  • Jumpers (3)
  • Standoffs (4)
  • Screws (4)
  • Nuts (4)
  • Printed insert: Getting Started with MCC DAQ HATs
  • MCC packaging assembly/foam, etc.

What do you think about roadtesting this product? What other parts/equipment/accessories do you need to roadtest it?

    I'd think the Hat with the two cables are essential.

    The Hat's RA 10-32 connectors aren't that common. The bundle with two coaxial cables turns this into BNC connectors. These are more common.

    I am interested to see what audiophiles are doing with Raspberry Pi's and how heat is managed with such a hat.

    I would recommend supplying the Pi SBC, Pi power supply (PS) and at least two sensors to exercise the board. If the product is Pi 3/4 version supported it needs to be tested in the two hardware configurations. The PS recommendation is only to avoid testing problems because of insufficient power. Hate to have problems reported and it just because it was tested on a cheap supply.

    If no sensor are provided a recommendation on what is supported is a minimum. Buying stuff to test is a downside but buying stuff that doesn't work for testing is depressing. Knowing what is required enables those pitching an application the chance to design how much they wish to invest.

    An added bonus would be a case that is designed to hold the unit. Another one of those gotcha's if you purchase sight unseen.
