Re: [beagleboard] Connecting Multiple Sensors to BBB

2014-12-02 Thread mikegrahamt21
Hi,
 
Yeah indeed. I've just purchased a single sensor for starters to have a 
play with, and see how I go. I looked into wireless sensors to begin with, 
but there doesn't seem to be any set standard, as I was all for a Ninja 
Block using 433mhz, but even they say that no compatibility was guaranteed. 
I'll look into the X10 modules.
 
Regards
Mike

  Wiring would be a nightmare. You have maybe a foot on I/O and 3 feet 
 with bus extenders for I2C. You want wireless sensors of some type.
 OR there are X10 modules that do a lot of what you want maybe you can 
 interface them to a BBB.
 Remember you have voltage loss on powering things over long wiring.

  Hi guys,
  
 I've just started out with the BBB, and am basically wanting to use it 
 initially, to gather data on temperature and humidity both inside and 
 outside my property (sensor in each room + 1 outside). Obviously there are 
 going to be quite a few sensors, is it possible to get all these up and 
 running at the same time? I know there are lots of GPIO connectors on the 
 BBB, but only a few voltage connectors, how do I go about splitting these?
  
 Also, would it be possible to wire up the sensors using alarm cable? They 
 will be quite far from the controller in some instances.
  
 Regards
 Mike
