G+_Jason Perry Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Well I know I am not the only one interested in electronics here. I agreed to put together some links for someone who has been a programmer for the last 5 to 10 years. He is interested in getting a job for a company that is looking to bring IoT to their manufacturing process. Here is a list of links I have for him, and you. If you have anything to add I am interested in hearing from you. (sorry it is nothing but a blob at this point) Here are a list of things off the top of my head that might help you out Here are some channels I follow SuperhouseTV (https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperHouseTV) EEVlog (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2DjFE7Xf11URZqWBigcVOQ) Diy Arduino ( )Hacker’s Bench (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjkVkiAqP4zIx5xjV7B_tA) These channels have some good intro to electronics videos The Ben Heck Show (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChturLXwYxwTOf_5krs0qvA) GreatScott!

G+_Eddie Foy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 IoT for mgf? stick with PLCs. Allen Bradley, Siemens, Automation Direct, Omron. Mitsubishi, etc. No need to reinvent the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Eddie Foy?, do any of those manufacturers have a SDK for their hardware? If so, is it as simple as going to their website and learning or do they make you jump through hoops to get access to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 They offer the programing lag/IDE AB is like $1500 for a single family. Then AB offers other dev packages for doing P{C front ends (very picey) DA is about $500 for all families. I'd stick with the vendor's options outside of RS-484/232/ModBus, etc. THye have it nailed down. Rolling your own would be akin to rolling your own encryption. As for websites, AB has WAY TOO many products and its a nightmare to navigate. IMOHO. DA's is actually easy. They even offer a free programing IDE for like a 100 word program. Lets you get your feet wet for free. And I thing the 'click' version is a full version for free. (but I think it lacks A/D D/A modules) PLCs are one of my main bags. There are also 'programable relays' like micro PLCs. Can get for $100 or so and free software. Usually support modbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Eddie Foy, I was a little off. The company he is working for makes the machines that bend tubes. He is working for their R&D division so they are kinda reinventing the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
