Today I continued my visit of Embedded World, to seek and find other interesting IoT demos.
Walking to the ublox booth (Hall5-158), I am pleased to see the connected dice demo. I had the pleasure of seeing a version of this demo at TechCon 2015 using mbed (you can view a video here).
The sensors embedded in the dice transmit their data wirelessly to the IoT Gateway, showing in real-time the position of the dice. I think there could be some good applications for new games in Las Vegas.
You can also see a demo about waste disposal management, with combined wireless technologies (Bluetooth LE, Wifi, cellular), using ARM mbed.
On the Microchip booth (Hall 4-238), I found quite a few demos on IoT. A few of them captured my attention.
One is a connected lighting solution, based on the SAM R21 platform and lighting module (Both Cortex-M0+ based).
There is also a secure Smart Home reference platform based on the SAMV71 (Cortex-M7), which provide node to cloud secure –hardware hardened security.
Around the other side of the Microchip booth, there is a cool demo: a smart refrigerator reference design, powered by Zebra, Atmel Low-power wireless mesh and ARM mbed technologies.
Lastly, I had the pleasure to talk with Canonical – check out their latest news, as they announced a powerful ARM 64-bit IoT developer environment.
In case you missed it, here is the link to Day 1 edition of this blog, with other demos that I found interesting at EW2016.
