The additional sensor platform of the Rohm Multisense evaluation kit opens up the hot swap sensor function for the project. Users can test and interchange Rohm's six most popular sensors on most platforms that support USB hosts for portable applications.
The sensor kit includes a base plate and six sensor modules for connection to the host system platform, including Hall effect sensors, analog ambient light sensors, digital ambient light sensors, UV light sensors, MEMS motion sensors, and temperature sensors. The multi-sensing substrate is connected to the host through a USB connection, and one sensor branch module board is fixed at a time.
In addition, the driver can be used on popular platforms such as Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black and other platforms including Windows. There are many kinds of sensors, suitable for home automation, lighting, Internet of Things equipment and security applications. In fact, the DreamBoard program held in the element14 community enables members to create their own unique development kit design, placing the temperature sensor and accelerometer on top of the sensors needed in their final development kit, the company said. .
In element14's latest research, 68% of the 3,500 consumers cited health care as the number one technology focus area, followed by renewable energy and the environment.
