Five Interfaces: Pufftron Power
PoE
48V over unused wires in cable
Aesthetic and practical benefits of only having one
connector
RJ45 Connector is robust
Temperature, to track
heat waves and global
warming
HVAC homeostasis
produces straight
temperature lines for
indoor sensors. Sensirion SHT-11: Digital
Outdoor sensors read Temperature and Humidity
distinct day-night cycles. Sensor, accuracy and
precision are high
A green aesthetic would
value the diurnal cycle over Precalibrated
homeostasis. 14-bit ADC

WizNet100SR Daughterboard
requires PoE RJ45 connector
with magnetics
Gets IP via DHCP
Connects to hardcoded Server

Five Interfaces: Community Stories
“A genuine community life does not
organize itself in an enduring way
purely spontaneously. It requires
thought and planning ahead. The
educator is responsible for a
knowledge of individuals and for a
knowledge of subject-matter that
will enable activities to be selected
which lend themselves to social
organization … and in which the
activities in which all participate are
the chief carrier of control”.

Initial Implementation: Linear Regulation
HeatingPower = Current * Voltage Drop
ex: Cell Modem 2A * (9-3.8)V =10.4W of heat
Impractical for PoE at 48V
ex: 2A * (48-3.8)V = 88.4W of heat!!
Next version: Switching Regulator (MAX5090)
More complicated implementation
More supply noise
90+% efficient
