USB-type Wi-Fi adapter (dongle) LM808 and LM842 settings and why you dare to choose them

PiLinkTechnical

In addition to the built-in Wi-Fi function, computers can communicate wirelessly via a Wi-Fi adapter (also known as a dongle) that connects via USB.In this issue, we will introduce an example of using a non-wireless model “PL-R4” with a USB-type Wi-Fi adapter attached. The PL-R4 series of industrial-use Raspis includes a model that incorporates the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 with Wi-Fi as usual, as well as a model that is not wireless-compatible. Non-wireless models are also in demand. This is because there are some industrial sites where Wi-Fi is not or cannot be used depending on the application. The PL-R4 is wired as standard, and Wi-Fi is an optional…

PL-R4 Series New Model M.2×2 Slot Model / RFID Model

PiLinkNews, Product

Two new models, PL-R4 BASIC M2 and PL-R4 RFID, have been added to the PL-R4 series. PL-R4 BASIC M2 The PL-R4 BASIC M2 model is equipped with two M.2 slots for expansion. Both NVMe SSD and LTE communication module, which could not be used together in existing models, can be implemented in a single unit. The nanoSIM slot is located on the front of the main unit, making it easy to insert and remove the SIM card. PL-R4 RFID PL-R4 RFID is an RFID reader model using Zebra’s RE40 UHF RFID chip. x2 port antenna for RFID, 250mW for power saving. Options to add WiFi/Bluetooth and LTE are available. Please…

Compute Module 5 is now available!

PiLinkNews

On Wednesday, November 27, 2024, the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). PiLink has also ordered the CM5 and is testing it on actual devices.With its enhanced CPU performance and functions, the CM5 is expected to expand the range of industrial applications for the Raspberry Pi. Same form factor as CM4 The conventional CM4 (top photo) and CM5 (bottom photo) have the same form factor. When placed side by side, you can see that the size and shape remain the same. In the current model of PiLink’s industrial Raspberry Pi, the PL-R4 CM4 is mounted on the carry board It is also possible to switch…

Mobile data communication with industrial Raspberry Pi with embedded 4G (LTE)!
IoT can be used outdoors and at sites without Wi-Fi

PiLinkTechnical

Have you ever wished you could plug a SIM card directly into your Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi)?On commercially available Raspberry Pi, a 4G (LTE) module can be realized with an extended HAT or with a USB-connected communication modem. On the other hand, did you know that there are Raspberry Pi products specialized for industrial applications that allow SIM cards to be inserted without modification? An industrial Raspberry Pi, housed in a rugged enclosure, can adapt to harsh environments such as factories. If possible, you want to keep both the SIM card and the 4G (LTE) module in it. PiLink offers a model that supports 4G (LTE) communication, so we borrowed…

How Industrial Raspai Increases Robustness with External Watchdog (WD)

PiLinkTechnical

When a system fails and freezes (hereafter referred to as “hangs up”), it is necessary to perform a task such as rebooting the system. It may be difficult to physically reset the system at a time when people cannot operate it, at a location where the system is not easily accessible by people, or perhaps due to a shortage of personnel, it may be difficult to find people who can handle the situation. Since the system is stopped, it is also difficult to operate it remotely. This is where the watchdog (WD) mechanism comes in.
