Hi,
I would like to use the teensy module in an industrial control application, here is what is required to do.
The module will control the following.
1. A stepper motor indexer, operating on +5 V DC inputs.
2. A RS 485 transciever for communicating via RS 485 network
3. Some DIP switches, thumbwheel switches.
4. Some optical limit switches, signal levels are +5 VDC
All the components above use +5V DC levels, I can step down the levels to 3.3V DC levels no problems with that, but I would like to know if the teensy can perform in an industrial environment, where the temperatures would be high 40-50 degC, the teensy would be enclosed in an aluminium box, and kept close to a stepper motor that would be running almost constantly.
The entire system would be powered by a +24 VDC SMPS, but will be stepped down to +3.3 VDC as required by the teensy. The system would be placed among other industrial equipment like high voltage 3 phase motors, contactors relays etc. (ie: The environment will have high electrical noise).
At present I am using PIC mico-controllers, and they do work well. But there are some aspects with the teensy that is quite appealing, such as bootloaders, integration with wireless, ethernet modules, also a standard C/C++ development environment.
Also can I use Eclipse C++ development IDE for developing applications for teensy ??
thanks
