Due to social distancing requirements, PHYTEC held an end of year celebration virtually this year. Therefore our Christmas tree lighting had to some how go virtual as well. So, our team created a remote controlled system based utilizing our phyBOARD-i.MX 8M dev kit.
How was the phyTree made?
Here’s a quick overview of the technical details:
- Built with the phyBOARD-i.MX 8M Development Kit. The system utilizes GPIO and Gigabit Ethernet. Some software adaptation was required to include lighttpd into the Yocto image
- phyCAM-M VM-016 MIPI CSI-2 camera. The camera was used to enable the live feed on the website.
- An off the shelf 4 Channel 5V relay board was used.
