introduction widg x widg x is haventechnik's entry point iot application platform the module provides a basis on which to develop a standalone iot application which reports to a standalone mobile device as a host it further facilitates an integrated approach to iot node development enabling multiple nodes to be integrated via a wi fi network modes of operation widg x widg x has three modes of operation untethered configured, operates with no intervention or reporting wired configured, then run in proximity to a laptop or desktop this mode is best suited for development or testing wireless connected to either a wi fi or bluetooth network this offers real time reporting and monitoring of the target application inputs and outputs the widg x offers both digital and analogue i/o the digital i/o enables in contact interaction with the environment, and the sensory capability enables the detection and measurement of the ambient environment digital 2 digital inputs actuated by closing the two pins, effectively bringing the opto isolator to ground 1 relay actuated in software, the relay switches between normally closed to normally open either opening or closing the device under supervision, depending on the configuration analogue the basic analogue input allows for an lm35 to be connected there is no input buffering or conditioning circuitry onboard, any signal conditioning would therefore need to be done external to the board sensors the unit is capable of integrating the following sensors analogue lm35 (or similar device) dht 11 measures temperature and humidity bme280 measures temperature, humidity and air pressure communications the user has the option of wired usb cable to pc wireless ai thinker, wifi | bluetooth module
