Swiss-based founder of Quick-Pick AG, Andreas Eberle, has designed a complete Raspberry system with hardware and software utilizing the power of Raspberry CM4 that lets you use interfaces and industrial communication protocols without the need to buy any additional HATs. This Compute Module 4 Hunter is up for crowdfunding via Kickstarter with the goal of $15,490.
The release of the Raspberry Pi CM4, integrated with the quad-core Broadcom BCM2711 Cortex-A72 chip, lead to the unveiling of the official carrier board to cover all features required. However, the aim of the CM Hunter project is to extend the functionalities through a smaller form factor.
This 4 layered PCB, sizing 79x97mm integrates all the common communication protocols used that include,
- RS485/Modbus isolated
- CAN 2.0B isolated
- 1-Wire isolated
- HDMI 2.0
- ETHERNET Gigabit
- USB 2.0
- 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ac wireless /some CM4 versions/
- Bluetooth 5.0, BLE /some CM4 versions
