Blinky-Lite Instrumentation Suite

A modular approach to distrubuted instrumentation

For instrumentation to be useful, it needs to be easily and quickly installed wherever a user needs it to be. Blinky-Lite accomplishes this with a suite of wireless instrumentation modules based on the Raspberry Pi Pico-W, including:

  • Blinky-ADC
    • Two channel ADC
    • Range: 10V
    • Resolution: 0.002V
    • 1Hz to 50 kHz of settable bandwidth
  • Blinky-DS18B20
    • Three channel high resolution temperature monitor.
    • Range: -50 to 125C
    • Resolution: 0.05C
  • Blinky-Interlock
    • Three channels that can be used in thermal switches, motion detectors, magnetic switches, etc.
    • Daisy chain output for each channel provided.
  • Blinky-Leak
    • Three leak detector channels
    • 20 MOhm sensitivity
  • Blinky-420
    • Three channel 4-20 mA convertor that can be reading for analog interfaces
    • Resolution: 0.004 mA
    • 1Hz to 50 kHz of settable bandwidth
  • Blinky-Thermocouple
    • Three channels K type thermocouple
    • Range: -200C - 1350C
    • Resolution: 0.25C
  • Blinky-MAX31865
    • Two channel 4 wire resistor measurement
    • Range: 0 to 4300 Ohms
    • Resolution: 0.1 Ohms
    • 100 mS pulse mode for minimal self heating
