Panda Board and System Integration
Panda Boards are arm v 7 based computers. One of the main advantage of using panda boards for your projects is there ease of integration in running system. Whether we have to integrate them in existing computer network or have to attach external devices, we have plenty of network and input/output interfaces are provided by panda board. One of those versatile interfaces
on panda board is General Purpose Input and Output (GPIO) port. We will be using GPIO port to connect a motion sensor to panda board.
Motion Sensor
Motion Sensor attached with panda board will bring more intelligence to the system by making efficient use of energy. Motion Sensor will detect the motion and tell the panda board operating system to turn on or standby the dash board display system.
Motion Sensor Module
We are using zilog motion detection module as motion sensor. The good thing about this module is that it includes a built in micro controller with application software running on it. This Micro Controller Unit (MCU) along with its application software is not only meant for providing standard interfaces to existing computer system but also gives more control to programmers to control this module from their own program/logic.
