Connected Device
A portable measurement device, from PCB to application
Electronics, sensor integration, embedded software and power management for a battery-powered NIR spectrometer.
- NIR sensors
- BLE / Wi-Fi
- Embedded Linux
- OTA
Technical challenge
Electronics, sensors, operating system, power management and communication needed to be designed together within the constraints of a portable, battery-powered device.
Responsibility
ProDyne’s responsibilities ranged from component selection, electronics and PCB design to sensor integration and embedded software using Yocto Embedded Linux and an RTOS. Battery and power management, suspend and low-power modes, and OTA updates were part of the system.
Implemented functionality
The result was a connected device whose electronics, operating system, communication and application were developed together.
Context
Production volumes, battery life, measurement accuracy and series-production details are not covered by this case study.
