Hi Guys,
Not been around in a while but have a new project in the pipeline. While I have a spare Teensy 3.0, I have ordered a new 3.1 (to help contribute towards Paul's Ferrari fund ) along with a Teensy WIZ820IO Ethernet & Micro SD Card Adaptor, and WIZ820IO Ethernet module.
I would like to be able to control some external devices and servo from the Teensy as well as monitor a couple of sensors. I was going to use a 4 channel relay module to switch the external devices. Although the unit would probably be in wifi range, I have decided ethernet would be a more reliable way of communication.
The basic idea is the Teensy will monitor the sensors and switch external devices based on their values. It will also need to control the servo and switch other devices via a PC or Andriod device over the ethernet connection. Lastly it will need to communicate with some PC software (which I will write) to send the status of each sensor/external device and servo position.
The Teensy and servo will obviously need to be powered, but could I use the same 5v supply for both? While the whole setup is not going to be outside, it will be in a single block building that could be prone to damp conditions.
Any suggestions or advice is welcomed.
Regards,
Les
