Hey all
I make 'stuff' for a local charity. Interactive things for kids usually.
A lot of the time, they break it and I end up having to drive over and it's nearly always a simple fix.
All these projects run on Teensy 4.1's - non ethernet version.
My initial idea was to switch to the Ethernet version and hook them up so that I can remotely check each install. But this has it's own issues.
The main one is the logistics of actually getting a network cable to each install. The second is I understand I would need a static IP to be able to view these modules outside their network.
Oh and third, I have never done this before.
My other thought was WiFi + 4G. 3G modules I believe are getting binned in the UK later this year, but 4G should be fine.
I was thinking maybe add a simple WiFi module to the Teensy 4.1's for comms, and have them all report to a central Teensy that has a 4G module attached.
If I want to 'quiz' a module, I contact the 4G module and then obtain data as required.
Does seem a bit involved, but cannot think of a better way.
Ideally, I would have a secure webpage that listed all the modules, but that is probably well out of my league.
Ideas?
