We took the core of the IPC-CPUF407 modular computer and placed it on a board with Rasberry PI format. The result is probably the most sophisticated module with an STM32F407 processor that includes Fast Ethernet and Wi-Fi communication interfaces, a MicroSD card slot, two USB interfaces, a GPIO expansion connector with digital and analog inputs and outputs, and a serial terminal with a command line with USB-C bridge.

In cooperation with the Lost divers club we started to develop a closed circuit rebreather and also a diving computer with decompression calculation. Now we can present the first prototype of LD'sC/DC computer, which is designed for both beginners and advanced divers, as it can work with multiple gases including trimix and also with open or closed circuit option. This computer will be the same for a complete rebreather with oxygen dosing control.

Five years ago, in 2019, Tomas and I fought together the pitfalls of the 1000 miles adventure race, and we still meet each other at many other races afterwards. Tomas hasn't given up on "the miles", as the 1000 miles race is familiarly called, and has grown incredibly athletic, even winning it twice. And that's when DYNABANK started to be created, the first version was tested in this race in 2019. And now our paths crossed again, Tomáš together with Klára, whom he met how else but on the miles, last year founded their own MTB unsupported race called 3-2-1 VABANK, which is unique in that it is limited in the equipment that the racer can carry with him. It's simply a vabank race. And this year, it's spiced up even more by the fact that Klara and Tomas say their yes the day before for the journey of a lifetime together.

Power bank with charging from the bicycle dynamo DYNABANK included a PASS function, which was able to send the battery voltage to the USB output without the inverter on and also the voltage from the rectifier during the ride. Since this feature proved to be of little use and also confused the connected device, this feature was removed. However, it is replaced with a modification that can automatically disconnect or switch on the USB output.

The IPC-CPUF407 module includes a CAN controller in the STM32F407 processor, but is not equipped with a bus driver. The IPC-CAN485 expansion module offers this interface and can also add a second RS-485 interface. Both CAN and RS-485 are galvanically isolated, providing increased protection against interference, ground loops and overvoltage. More information about the module can be found here, support is also available in the open application firmware.

In many cases, it is necessary to build a remote control system without a power supply. For the DIN-IPC series, an MPPT rgulator has been developed that allows charging of batteries from photovoltaic panels and monitoring of the photovoltaic system via an integrated processor unit, so that status information is always available, as well as from other sensors connected to the system.

The DIN-IPC series components for installation in low panelboards can also be deployed for today's popular smart home applications. Not only can they be used to control advanced components such as heat storage tanks, ventilation and heat recovery systems or heat pumps, but they can also be used for basic functions such as room temperature measurement, light control, heating control, etc. There is no need to write a special app for this, just a connection to, for example, Home Assistant.

Czech company Atrea is a supplier of heating and ventilation systems for family houses. Their Integrated Heat Storage (IZT) is a tank with heat exchangers that serves as a heat storage for hot water and heating. It can be heated by solar collectors, fireplace, pellets, heat pump or electric coils. However, in one installation with solar collectors and a fireplace, there was a requirement to monitor the operation. As the RG23 control unit does not support this, it was replaced by our DIN-IPC controller system and a sample application was created which takes over complete control of the system and also sends the current status to a server where the data is stored and the operation of the system can be monitored over time. Due to the lack of cabling, everything works wirelessly via Wi-Fi, so there was no need to make interventions in the house.

INBROLLY launches a range of DIN-IPC controllers for industrial and IoT applications. Its advantage is that it can be mounted in low profile distribution boards with the same profile as conventional circuit breakers. The DIN-IPC series consists of a controller and expansion modules to achieve the required features and interfaces.

Electric bicycles costing tens of thousands are in vogue. They carry a large battery that first needs to be recharged from a socket and then you can set off on a route of just a few dozen kilometres. Then you have to find a socket again and recharge it with electricity produced from non-organic sources. INBROLLY goes the other way. For enthusiasts who set out on their own for long periods in the countryside, on expedition trips, on bikepacking, with little or no contact from civilization. You certainly won't get an e-bike here, but navigation and a cell phone are now an important part of the kit. The last contact with civilization. And there is nowhere to charge these devices. And it is for this purpose that we present the world's first powerbank that can be recharged from a bicycle dynamo - DYNABANK.
