After more than a year of Arduino Edge Control introduction, the team has unveiled an enclosure kit, which is IP40-certified and compatible with DIN rails, to make it easy to fit into any standard rack. The edge control enclosure kit will be operating at industrial temperature ranges of -40°C to +85°C and does not require any external cooling system. The cover is IP40-rated which means it protects the edge control against solid objects of over 1 mm. Also, the enclosure kit includes a breakout board with an LCD display and a push-button so that the developer can use this to display data in the 2×16 LCD display and interact through the push-button.
Arduino Edge Control is designed for precision farming, smart agriculture, and other applications that require intelligent control in remote areas. Hardware supports power to be supplied through solar panels and DC inputs. The hardware platform can be controlled using Arduino Cloud or third-party services of your choice for various connectivity options. Arduino Edge Control features built-in Bluetooth wireless connectivity and other options can be expanded with 2G3/3G/CatM1/NB-IoT modems, LoRa, Sigfox, and Wi-Fi by adding MKR boards.
