Hey guys (especially @MCU, MPU & Kits devs), we just launched a new #polls to see what MCU architecture everyone is designing on (or would prefer to be designing on). Check it out: https://discord.com/channels/1130679493799977062/1199293807737450538/1208322777757519952

Missing MSP430

Oonky Missing MSP430 😅

techielewOP•2/17/24, 8:07 AM

If I added it would you vote for it lol?

onky•2/17/24, 8:08 AM

Yes, I am working on one. Low power device.

onky•2/17/24, 8:09 AM

STM has killed most of the competition. Firmware libs from TI is painful compared to ST

Oonky Yes, I am working on one. Low power device.

techielewOP•2/17/24, 8:11 AM

First, let @pallavaggarwal know what you're working on. He was curious about low-power device designs in server.
Second, I just added a comment on the poll to reply with any device/architecture that's missing. We should track this over time.
Yes. Everything but ESP and AVR and RP2040 (curious if anyone will comment that last one out :))

I lied. I actually want to know what your low-power device design is too, @onky lol. And why is it on MSP430?

onky•2/17/24, 8:19 AM

I am working on loop powered instrument, max current consumption for the whole circuit must be less than 4mA. The customer is old school has trust in MSP430 and wants me to use the same.

Umesh Lokhande•2/17/24, 11:25 AM

Hi, @wafa_athmani , Publisher, and Subscriber both can send and receive data i.e. payload back and forth. This can be managed by the MQTT Broker so we as a client have to do nothing apart from publishing the message and subscribing to the topic.

You can both subscribe and publish to the same MQTT topic, but that is not a good design practice. Please describe your use case in more details.

Have anyone worked with Max30102 sensor let us know?

Aaymen ammari Have anyone worked with Max30102 sensor let us know?

techielewOP•2/17/24, 4:57 PM

What do you need to know about the MAX30102?

onkyAPP•2/17/24, 4:57 PM

Since you have said you are from PICMG I have one interested topic to discuss. This thing is going on my mind since last few months.

onkyAPP•2/17/24, 4:58 PM

In simple words-
A modular approach like PICMG for Microcontrollers.

onkyAPP•2/17/24, 4:58 PM

There are many MCU manufacturers are out there but this domain is not standardized, however this domain is very cost sensitive.

onkyAPP•2/17/24, 4:58 PM

I am already working on something like this, I cannot say as a standard. I am thinking to use PCISIG M.2 form factor for MCU.
Main reason to select this because the connector for M2 are available dirt cheap in the market. and By using just Mechanical specs of M.2 standard I can design a module of MCU and design carrier for any application.

onkyAPP•2/17/24, 4:58 PM

I am already designing a PCB prototype for this. (in my free time)

onkyAPP•2/17/24, 4:59 PM

I want to keep the form factor & same pinout then have multiple modules with any MCU from TI, STM, Microchip or anything else.
However I have limited work experience, so I am slow in the process.

Ttechielew What do you need to know about the MAX30102?

aymen ammari•2/17/24, 4:59 PM

How can I adapt its code to the ready to use remotexy code

onkyAPP•2/17/24, 4:59 PM

Let me know what is your perspective on this.

Oonky In simple words- A modular approach like PICMG for Microcontrollers.

techielewOP•2/17/24, 5:13 PM

Interesting question, @onky. Actually a couple years back PICMG started developing a firmware specification around IoT data models that is designed to abstract sensor-vendor-specific data formats so there can be data transparency between sensors and controllers and controllers and the rest of the infrastructure.

You can read about it here: https://www.picmg.org/industrial-iot-overview/
You can find code on the PICMG GitHub: https://github.com/PICMG

In parallel they developed a small form factor, open-source, microcontroller-agnostic platform called MicroSAM. Here are some of the high-level features:

Full industrial operating temperature range from -40C to +85C.
Power filtering and signal conditioning for embedded installations
RS422 communications link for reliable communications
Direct connectivity to a variety of sensor types (analog voltage, analog current, digital)
Latching connectors for secure connectivity
PWM output for motion control applications
Hardware interlock and trigger signals for synchronization
Small size (32mmx32mm)
Low power consumption

You can read more about it here: https://www.picmg.org/openstandards/microsam/

Depending what you are working on, how far you've gotten, and how well this aligns with your goals, I'd recommend reaching out to @DougSandy. He's the CTO at PICMG and lead both the IoT firmware and MicroSAM specification development efforts. I know he's always interested in collaboration.

Some good info in an instructables tutorial here: https://www.instructables.com/Pulse-Oximeter-With-Much-Improved-Precision/.

There's also a Github repo with Arduino C code: https://github.com/aromring/MAX30102_by_RF/blob/master/README.md.

A bunch of other driver support published here: https://github.com/topics/max30102

What controller are you using? I've messed around with the Feather platform in the past.

Hi @Jd3n Create and deploy Node-Red flow using mqtt palette/node which comes by default in node-red dashboard and then connect with your choice of MQTT dashboard App using the correct MQTT server and port number. I'm not sure exactly which MQTT dashboard App you're using as there are so many in the App Store. I believe you've installed running the node-red service on RPi and trying to send sensor data to the MQTT Dashboard App. Let me know more details about what you've done so far.

I want to make a guitar hero live guitar bluetooth for play with clone hero on my phone, would this be easier buying a serial to bluetooth or should i remake the center pcb and add bluetooth interception? Also how would i have a usb cable read and write the controls if i wanted to wire mod it? Currently it requires a dongle that ive lost so my goal is just being able to use it again
