The team from dtbaker who sell their wares over the Envato system have developed an outstanding new sale notification system. Using a Freetronics EtherTen, a Power-over-Ethernet midspan injector, our DMD board and some crafty code - each new sale is notified with a beep and display message over the DMD. For example:
Note that you can run the DMD directly from the EtherTen board if you don't need to run at full brightness - and as shown in the video above it's fine for indoor use. Using the midspan injector saves having to have a power supply for the hardware at the point of installation, so the only cable required is the Ethernet run. This is a great example of Arduino, power-over-Ethernet and using our equipment. For more informaiton, visit this Envato page.
If you have created something interesting with Freetronics products and would like to feature it here, email us via info at freetronics dot com, or post the details on our Freetronics forum Project Showcase.
