PingPong | Round Solutions

Mobile and Internet of Things hardware device for software developers

The Round Solutions PingPong is a modular IoT hardware Platform for firmware Developers. The platform supports extension boards that add unlimited capabilities. Almost all application areas and use cases can be covered by the combination possibilities of the base circuit board and its extension boards. With PingPong you create a physical device that is internet capable in a very short time. It's literally plug, push and play.

The RTOS version runs with the world's fastest 32-bit microcontrollers in C / C ++. The base board of PingPong has a high speed cellular module, a component for high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Internet, USB, CAN-Bus and many other components. The Quick Start Kit includes optional access to the cloud platform and related M2M Air simcard.

Send and receive data

PingPong offers different possibilities for transmitting and receiving data. „Always on" is the motto, whether in fixed state via a wired Ethernet connection, or on the go with the built-in GSM module via the mobile network.

Thus, the pingpong guarantees the continuous transmission of data in both directions. Either to send machine or sensor data to the receiver, or to receive command data to remotely control a relay.

Telemetry

heart-960458_1920

The PingPong can be connected to a wide variety of sensors to process and evaluate digital and analog measurements. Thus, for example, temperature values collected by a temperature sensor can be transferred via analog input to the PingPong.

With the digital inputs it can be distinguished between two measurements, comparable with a yes / no query. An application example is the measurement via contact sensor that detects whether a door is opened or closed.

Even industrial sensors in the 4-20mA range can be connected to the PingPong via current measurement Inputs. These can provide highly precise measurement data of temperature, power, humidity, etc., and are essential for industrial applications.

The 1-Wire Interface provides a connection for digital sensors based on the Maxim protocol for 1-wire enabled devices. The application areas include temperature and humidity measurements, as well as data logging.

With the CAN interface, PingPong can also interact with CAN enabled devices. For example, with the CANBUS interface of a vehicle. In this case data can be measured and read for analysis. Since the CAN interface can read messages in the J1939 protocol, detailed information about the speed, speed, current, filling levels and many more can be transmitted.

Remote control

The PingPong can be used to remote control processes via its outputs. The most common case is the use of the digital outputs in combination with a relay which can either enable or disable the power supply of an application. Examples include turning on and off of machines, motors and lamps.

With its built-in GNSS module the PingPong can also be used to determine the position, motion, speed and acceleration. Especially in combination with the aforementioned points - telemetry and remote control - numerous possibilities for applications in the logistics sector are imaginable.

One application example is the optimization of routes and fuel consumption in fleet management. If a vehicle consumes an unusually large amount of fuel over a short distance, this can cause a warning message that guides the vehicle to the nearest car service station.
