phyTree Happy Holidays

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.

 

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.

 

 

A demonstration of the phyTurkey gobble machine can be seen below, performed by our head of HR, Lisa Berg.

Here’s a quick overview of the technical details:

  • Built with the phyBOARD-i.MX 8M Development Kit. The gobble machine utilizes I2C and USB peripherals of this embedded board.
  • An off the shelf, USB2.0 speaker and a motion sensor were the only additions needed.
  • The project took the creators less than an hour to create! Talk about fast development.

Why the phyBOARD-i.MX8M?

It is easy to use. As one of PHYTEC’s newest product there is plenty of stock and it is quick to get up and running.
