Where can you use Factor?
Factor is a multipurpose system, which can be reprogrammed to suit specific needs or you can use the existing sample code to build a system that
does something usefull. See the examples below on how Factor can be used.
Simple System
You need to switch a relay on when a high voltage signal is present
Factor has optically isolated inputs which allow for a high input voltage to trigger an event. The microcontroller can be programmed to read the inputs, make a descision on which relay needs to be on and change its state.
Add complexity & features to the system, by reading the integrated temperature sensor. When the temperature reaches a certain value, a relay can be switched to active an alarm, a fan etc.
Build your system further, by comparing the state of multiple inputs. For Home Automation projects, the analog input can be used to read a light sensitive resistor and when the sun goes down
switch on a relay to activate a light. Factor can also be connected to a sprinkler system, geyser, solar powered devices and activate and control these devices.
Advanced System Add Mikroe Click Boards to build a truly IOT or connected system. Add a Mikroe Click board which has a bluetooth, wifi, Zigbee, MIWI or a Lora module and create a system that can be controlled by a mobile device or smart phone.
