The 1Sheeld board is a KickStarter project and also an "open source" project. If the firmware, for the ATMega162 is in a hackable format, we will use the resource heavy Teensy 3.1 to suck all the hardware/software combination of the 1Sheeld into its "ARM blackhole" and through software magic, make the 1Sheeld completely disappear! This should reduce the total system cost by 2/3. <------
For now, the Teensy 3.x (3.1) now works with the 1Sheeld.
BTW ... applications.
Just some of the practical applications that can be easily created using the Teensy 3.x and 1Sheeld.
1. Sound monitor / email alert.
Using the DB reading from the tablet's microphone, send an email to the absent homeowner indicating there's a party going on at the homestead.
You can also use it for a security spy by indicating DB room sound.
2. PIR / email alert.
Using a PIR motion sensor on the Teensy 3.x to trigger an email on motion detection.
3. Ultrasonic snow depth / email alert.
Use an ultrasonic sensor, on the Teensy 3.x to indication the depth of accumulated snow. Email hourly results to respected parties.
4. Lux security / email alert.
Use the tablet to detect light lux intensity in a secure closet or dark space. If the secure space is exposed to light - email an alert.
5. Remote Keypad / door solenoid driver.
6. Remote Keypad / for emergency garage door opener/closer.
7. Remote Keypad / security system on/off control.
8. Camera / Lux image recorder for security.
By reading the ambient lux value take an image (picture) with (front/back camera/with or w/o flash) and save to memory.
9. Emergency pushbutton email alert.
Using the red APP pushbutton, send emails to everyone that needs to be notified.
10. Clock / Date Time.
Without adding a RTC - use the clock from the tablet/smartphone for precise automation on/off control.
11. Twitter / tweeting
On logic conditions from the Teensy 3x microcontroller send a tweet to your friends.
Note: Excessive emails or tweets over the network will be picked up by your friendly ISP (Internet service provider) and they just might
shut your email/Twitter account down for a period of time. Just use counters and timers to prevent this from occurring. Instead of sending 20 emails in a hour just have it send just one. The ISP providers are on full alert for spammers.
