Re: [beagleboard] Connecting Multiple Sensors to BBB
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 On Monday, 1 December 2014 21:48:26 UTC, Wulf Man wrote: Wiring would be a nightmare. You have maybe a foot on I/O and 3 feet with bus extenders for I2C.

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting Multiple Sensors to BBB
Greetings, Look into 1-wire sensors. Then work over hundreds of feet using telephone wire and simple line drivers/receivers. Many devices available including temperature, humidity, relays, switch closure, etc. --- Jay Nugent WB8TKL Ypsilanti, Michigan On Mon, 1 Dec 2014, evilwulfie wrote: Wiring would be a nightmare.

[beagleboard] Connecting Multiple Sensors to BBB
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?
