    Figure 1-1 – eDynamo Major Components About Terminology In this document, eDynamo is referred to as the device. It is designed to be connected to a host, which is a piece of general-purpose electronic equipment which can send commands and data to, and receive data from, the device.

  • Page 11: About Solution Planning

    A smooth deployment of an eDynamo solution requires some up-front planning and decision-making:  Determine what type of host eDynamo will connect to. This can be a computer with a USB port or a host with Bluetooth 4.0 hardware that supports Bluetooth LE. When planning, include any additional support or devices required by the host, such as physical locations, mounting, and power connections.
