Hinj™ FPGA Sensor Hub and Development Kit

Alorium Technology's Hinj IoT sensor hub and FPGA development kit helps enhance industrial motion control solutions

Image of Alorium Technology's Hinj: FPGA Sensor Hub and Development KitAlorium Technology's Hinj board is the perfect platform for creating Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA based industrial solutions. With integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity plus a host of standard physical interfaces, Hinj provides the perfect hub for integrating both wired and wireless sensors and actuators with the user's custom FPGA logic.

The FPGA on Hinj comes loaded with Alorium Technology’s AVR compatible 8-bit microcontroller, making Hinj easy to program with the free and popular Arduino IDE. Out of the box, Hinj is immediately programmable with Arduino and compatible with a vast ecosystem of shields and accessories.

In addition to the familiar Arduino R3 style header interface, Hinj also supports Pmod™ and XBee® modules. Libraries and examples come pre-installed with the Hinj board support package and provide a quick path to easily interfacing with XBee and PMOD based sensors, actuators, human interfaces, and wireless radios.

The large bank of GPIO offers flexibility to add just about any other imaginable device to Hinj, and the user-configurable buttons, DIP switches, and LEDs give customers the ability to control and observe their design.

Hinj is powered by a 50 K LE MAX 10 FPGA providing the most available custom logic gates in the Intel MAX 10 family.
