Welcome to the bGeigieNanokit-Xbee wiki!
FANCY_IMAGE_1
The bGeigieCast module was created to solve an issue with the existing bGeigieNano: The bGeigieNano can only be used as a mobile sensor. With the bGeigieCast module, the bGeigieNano can configures as a fixed sensor and send measurements directly to the API, without the need to manually upload log files.
The bGeigieCast is a XBee module, which should be placed on top of the FIO (it replaces the BLEBee). The module consists of an ESP32 micro controller, a power switch, a mode button, and an RGB LED.
Additional hardware for a complete fixed mode sensor are:
- Wireless charging dock
- Wireless receiver, connected to the bGeigieNano
- Wireless transmitter
For more information about the wireless charging parts, check out SOME_OTHER_DOCUMENT
The bGeigieCast module knows 3 modes, one for configuring the module and two others for handling the measurements in different ways.
Allows the user to connect to the module and configure different settings
The module will publish measurements over bluetooth. Apps like Safecast Drive can be used to connect to the bGeigieCast
The module will publish measurements every 5 minutes directly to the API. Configurations for this can be set while in configuration mode.
