The reTerminal E10-1 enables you to develop and deploy more edge computing applications while using the reTerminal, the Human-Machine Interface facility presented by Seeed. Featuring multiple bridge IC and high-function peripherals, this board gives the reTerminal the power of rechargeable and portable functions, enhanced wireless communication, industrial data transmission, and audio capability.
The reTerminal E10-1 is an expansion board and fully compatible with the reTerminal where they can be simply connected through the industrial high-speed signal connector right in the middle of the board. It applies the charge-discharge function for the reTerminal by equipping the UPS-18650 dual chargeable battery and connecting the DC jack power interface. Furthermore, there has been equipped with a Power over Ethernet(POE) module on the board, thereby the reTerminal E10-1 can be also charged through the Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 connector.
The board supports the reTerminal transmitting the data through the industrial interface like DP9 Connector for RS-232 and integrated 6 Pin Terminal Connector for RS485 and CAN. Meanwhile, there are high-function mini-PCIe and M.2 B Key connectors on the board, which helps the reTerminal to apply LoRaWAN and LTE wireless function and SSD storage ability. Additionally, with an onboard card slot, it can also contribute to the reTerminal to transfer data through 4G/5G communication.
Manufactured by adding dual analog microphones and one speaker, the reTerminal E10-1 employs the audio capability of the reTerminal, thereby enabling the reTerminal to function in more applications like high-speed industrial, agriculture applications, or enhanced wireless home, individual usages. Leveraging the functions on the board, the reTerminal can be deployed in infinite applications like connecting LoRaWAN devices for long-term communication in agriculture or connecting mmWave radar devices for health care in the home.
