Recently, one of our customers, Tomaž P., sent us a description of his project “Orchidarium automation”. He uses our PoKeys57U usb CNC controller as an automation control device. We are glad to hear our devices are not installed only in CNC control and flight simulator world but also used in such “green” projects as a [...]
PoRelay8 board with 8 relay outputs can be connected to any device, which can communicate over I2C protocol (see example for Raspberry Pi and PoKeys). If 8 relay outputs do not satisfy your demands, additional 9 boards can be daisy-chained over CAN bus, even with long cables between boards. Here we present an example of [...]
PoRelay8 is a relay board and features 8 relay outputs. Up to 10 boards can be daisy-chained over the CAN bus for up to 80 additional outputs. In previous blog (Using PoRelay8 with PoKeys and long cables) we wrote about connecting PoRelay8 relay board to PoKeys57U device over the PoExtBus. The PoRelay8 is an updated [...]
PoBlocks just got a set of new communication features in PoKeys57 series ethernet devices. UDP sender enables PoKeys device to send simple messages using UDP protocol on request from the PoBlocks project. PoKeys InterCom protocol on the other hand enables sending data between PoKeys devices. PoKeys (Simple) UDP sender As the name applies, UDP sender [...]
In this PoBlocks tutorial, we will describe how PoBlocks can be used to solve a stepper motor positioning task. PoBlocks is a graphical programming tool for PoKeys device and is free of charge for PoKeys users. Background We have been approached by one of our users on how a positioning system can be implemented using [...]
