Applicability of PyBoard
Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2017 2:45 pm
Greetings:
Before diving into pyboard and Micropython, I wanted to check the applicability of this microcontroller for an application that I want to port over.
I have 10 high speed pneumatically actuated valves, 24 volts 4 watts that I would like to control. One or more valves will need to actuated with approximately 100 ms pulses and the pulse sequence must be timed very precisely this sequence may need to run for 1000 or more cycles.
I also have 4 pressure transducers with a 0-10 output. I probably will have to use a voltage divider to capture this data.
I also have 2 TC imputs.
I would like to stream the input values and save them to a log file while also plotting them real time using something like Bokeh.
I would like to control all of this using Bokeh's JS widgets or through my python shell, not the native on-board micropython.
Is this an appropriate platform for me to accomplish these needs. I like the pyboard because it is python native and I currently have the setup using a Labjack and my control is through python and Bokeh. I want to really go open source and build my application streamlined with exactly the needs that I have.
Thanks.
