The Gumband system is designed to natively control and monitor low level embedded systems within an exhibitExhibit. The hardware in this context is typically a microcontroller-based platform that is used to control an Exhibit’s electromechanical components. Gumband exposes an MQTT based API for hardware to directly interact with either the Gumband Cloud or a specific Exhibit via the Gumband SDK.

Supported Hardware

Native Gumband Hardware

Gumband Hardware, is a custom embedded system design for new Exhibit development on Gumband, it is a wired ethernet platform built around an Infineon PSoC chip with dual core ARM processor. It has the Gumband stack built-in to seamlessly monitor and interact with physical hardware such as buttons, sensors, LEDs, and motors. This platform also allow for remote firmware updates across a fleet of hardware.

  • ARM M0+ core handles the entire Gumband communication stack

  • ARM M4 core is entirely available for user firmware

  • Program using the Arduino IDE with the Gumband board library

  • Program natively through Infineon PSoC Creator (advanced)

  • Two 2x13 connectors (100mil pitch)

  • 40 multipurpose GPIO pins

  • Existing API supports I2C, UART, SPI, Ethernet, PWM, ADC

  • Additional protocols (RS485, CAN, LIN, ModBus, etc.) supported by MCU

Gumband Breakouts

The Gumband Hardware is designed to be the brains of a larger system, as such it is anticipated that these modules be attached to a carrier board specific to the end application. Designs exist for basic breakout capabilities such as screw terminals, high current relays, and stepper drivers. For highly-specific functionality, an accessory board can be designed, similar to a Pi HAT or Arduino Shield. The Gumband team has the capacity to design such custom breakouts if needed. Mechanical drawings for mounting purposes and ECAD footprints and specification are available.
