Hello
Looking for guidance on possible architectures. The goal is to instrument a 12m x 3m space with various sensors (voltage, various transducers, reed switches, etc).
It has to be wired solution, and I happen to be running power cables at the same time in a star network and so looking to mimic power distribution for synergy.
Don't anticipate there will be too much processing done by the teensies. It should mostly be reading ADCs, reading digital inputs and pushing the data out to wherever.
I think what I need is a small number of teensies at selected locations all running back to a central processor of some description. Currently thinking the topology is a star Ethernet running out of a multi-port hub. I then run node-red on a PC, plug into the hub and interrogate the teensies for info.
Ethernet was picked to reject noise as data cable is run parallel to power cables.
Can the same be done on USB / is it easier on USB / is there any other solutions? If possible, please point me to an existing teensy project so I can.... ah.. emulate.
Thanks
Kai
