phyTree Happy Holidays - PHYTEC

Written by Serah Peterson | December 23, 2020

What is the phyTree?

This decorated Cypress tree resides outside the PHYTEC Bainbridge Island office. We used the PHYTEC phyCORE-i.MX8M development kit with lighttpd as a webserver. Our web interface allows for users to remotely turn on/off lights and live stream the tree at the office.

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.
