Digi Tank Solutions Kit
Development kit for tank monitoring and management
- Jump-start application development with pre-packaged kit
- Learn how to discover and configure devices in a ZigBee network through the ConnectPort X4 gateway
- XBee ZigBee RF module and development board simulate tank actuator outputs and inputs
- Google App Engine™ platform and supporting code provide a simple example of a business application working with iDigi platform
- Provides an introduction to iDigi Dia (Device Integration Application) device connectivity software
The Digi Tank Solutions Kit provides easy development environment using Digi hardware and software components to simulate a real wireless tank monitoring application.
The Digi Tank Solutions Kit contains:
- ConnectPort® X4 ZigBee to Ethernet gateway
- XBee® ZigBee RF module and development board
- USB XStick® with embedded ZigBee
- Digi ESP™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for iDigi Dia/Python™ customization on Digi gateways
- Sample application for tank sensor aquisition
Kit users will set up a wireless ZigBee network, remotely manage the network through the iDigi platform, and run a pre-packaged iDigi Dia software project to simulate tank control valves. Finally, users will see how a business application uses the data presented by the iDigi platform to monitor and manage a tank environment.
