Description
Exo Sense RP is an extremely versatile indoor environment sensor. It combines the power and ease of use of the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller, with several environmental sensors and input/output lines.
Exo Sense RP embeds temperature, humidity, air quality, light and PIR-based motion detection sensors, as well as a microphone for ambient noise measurements and audio recording. Two digital input/output lines and an open-collector output line are available on the terminal block. A real time clock module with battery back-up is also standard. It can optionally have a factory-installed earthquake sensor module.
An ESD-protected RS-485 bus is available for wired serial communication using the industry standard Modbus protocol or any other half-duplex serial protocol.
Exo Sense RP has an embedded RP2040, with a dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor, clocked up to 133 MHz, 264KB of SRAM, and a large 16MB on-board Flash memory.
A hidden USB 1.1 port is used to easily flash the microcontroller.
