GoWired Multiprotocol Gateway: The versatile hub for all wired communications

The GoWired Multi-Protocol Gateway is an evolution of one of our previous development boards, the GetWired Ethernet Gateway, with more power, more features, more functionality and a better solution for wired automation systems. It features a powerful ARM M0+ microcontroller with 8x the ROM and 16x the RAM memory. We doubled the RS485 transceiver to be able to use two different communication protocols simultaneously (MySensors, MODBUS, etc.) and added a CAN transceiver as it is also widely used in home automation. USB obviously has to be included as well. To ensure reliable Ethernet communication, we use the market-leading Wiznet W5500 chip. The microcontroller internal memory can be expanded via SD card, for example. G. Used to collect debugging information. The GoWired multi-protocol gateway also features improved power circuitry and can now handle a voltage range of 7-26 VDC. Onboard current and power monitors can periodically share power-related data, as well as other information about device status. For example, an e-ink screen can be used to display this information. All of this is designed with reliability and safety in mind, especially in terms of power supply (ESD, overcurrent, overvoltage, reverse polarity protection) and EMC and EMI precautions.

Chhavi: ESP32 based fingerprint sensor with optional NFC (source code, etc.)

Chhavi is a tiny, wireless, touch capacitive fingerprint sensor with high-end security features, support for ultra-low power operation and optional NFC connectivity. Its open source firmware is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE. Chhavi is powered by ESP32 and features an FPC BM-Lite fingerprint sensor by Fingerprints, giving you and your projects access to the excellent biometric hardware found in many smartphones. Unlike optical fingerprint sensors that are large and power-hungry, this capacitive biometric sensor is small, accurate, and energy-efficient. During our design process, we determined that NFC communication would be a powerful feature for many of the same applications that might require a high-quality fingerprint sensor, but we could not find a major ESP32-driven NFC controller. So we built one into Chhavi as an optional feature. We've also added an optional battery to simplify installation and facilitate mobile deployment. The result is a tiny device with a cutting-edge fingerprint reader, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, as well as support for NFC and battery power when needed.
