Building on Open Control
When installing Wi-Fi connected devices in buildings, Wi-Fi signal strength is the first and most basic question which comes to mind – can my device even connect to the AP (Access Point) and stay connected reliably? There are several other considerations which would also come up, but let’s start with the real basic stuff and…

Remote and unmanned are two key words which certainly imply the need for automation. A BASpi-6U6R was installed at this broadcast site located at 12,000 ft….
Continue ReadingMany modern embedded devices depend on NAND flash memory for data storage and operation. NAND (Negated AND) is referred to as the same silicon logic gate technology used in eMMC, SSD, Compact Flash, and form factor variants of SD, such as micro SD flash memory. In this post I cover basics of micro SD cards…
Continue ReadingMost graphical programming software environments such as Sedona Framework use block-like elements as their functions, which are referred to as Components. Using a graphical editor like the free Sedona Application Editor (SAE) lets you configure and link Components together to create the wiresheet logic running in your Sedona device. To make programming easier and keep…
Continue ReadingWe’ve recently published a video explaining how to use our free BAScontrol Toolset. The toolset includes the Sedona Application Editor (SAE) – a component-based graphical editor for wiresheet applications, BASbackup – a complete project backup and restore utility, and BASemulator – Sedona platform emulation on PC. Provided free of charge on our web site, these…
Continue ReadingWe love to hear from our customers! We recently heard from one of our early adopters of the BASpi who has it installed in a chiller pump room fancoil application in Florida: The BASpi Univeral Inputs are used for three 10K type-2 thermistor curves and one for fan status – setup as binary input. 3…
Continue ReadingWe’ve updated the BAScontrol Toolset to support the BASpi. The BAScontrol Toolset includes our Sedona Application Editor, our BASemulator and our BASbackup tools – and it’s available for free. BASpi users can download the free BAScontrol Toolset and use it with the BASpi-IO board to practice and implement sequences of operation based on industry-wide concepts…
Continue ReadingWe’re huge proponents of the concept of “open control” and built our BAScontrol Series on the idea of open software and free programming tools. The BASpi was the next logical extension of that idea. We started tossing around this idea of making a controller on a micro PC to give home enthusiasts, students, and DIYers…
