Banguino

DTX2-4008C

Banguino brings the most popular hobby and DIY development platform in the world into a single chip DTX module and offers full backwards compatibility with the most used worldwide Arduino board - the model 'Uno'.

Bonus features include an on-board power supply to generate +5V and +3.3V to the user's external circuit, a microSD connector and additional 10 configurable digital I/O ports. There are also two software controllable LEDs on board as well as a USB-to-UART bridge. Banguino provides a highly integrated solution for building simple or complex circuits and benefiting from the large variety of already existing Arduino-compatible code.

Developers should note that Banguino is a 5-volt board inherent from the original Arduino architecture, and care about logic level conversion should be taken when communicating with 3.3-volt DTX modules or peripheral circuits.

Every Banguino module comes ready to go with pre-loaded most recent Arduino Uno bootloader and Blinky demo in memory.

Mirtoo

Mirtoo

DTX1-4000L 'Mirtoo' module requires no external components to work and integrates a full PIC32-based system on board, completed with own power supply, serial data flash, and protected I/O ports as well as direct PIC32 lines for glue logic and connection to other circuits.

The power supply of Mirtoo allows a wide range of voltages to make possible work straight off unregulated power or many types of batteries and even in the car.

The I/O capabilities offer a flexible 8-bit protected port to communicate with the outside world, as well as a 6-bit digital port for functional expansions. Any line from the I/O port can have one or more possible functions at once: analogue input, digital input or sink output. Analogue inputs are fed to a programmable gain multiplexer to scale and handle input signals from microvolts to up to 20V and higher. Digital inputs allow direct connection to digital logic but also to any signal up to 20V range. The sink outputs are current-protected and each can handle up to 200mA loads such as small motors, relays, LEDs and many others. They can also be connected in parallel to control even higher current loads.

Mirtoo is very well suited for use in various robotic and hobby projects, but also in high-reliability industrial and automotive equipment. A port of the popular NuttX RTOS exists for the Mirtoo modules.

DTX/Bee

DTX/Bee

DTX/Bee development board puts a DTX module in the hive. Developers can now enjoy using the best of two worlds - the simplicity of BASIC and the variety of the Bee modules. DTX/Bee has been designed with flexibility in mind. It provides an easy access to all of the ICeemite's pins as well as those of a Bee module, made in a snap-off board. It also provides a microUSB connector to get you started immediately without the need of anything else than a PC.

The variety of Bee communication modules is huge and includes such, made by companies all over the world. Users can choose from Bluetooth, WiFi, ZigBee, other types of RF protocols, and even GSM communication modules made in the same Bee format. Most of those are low-power devices and typically require less than 100mA for a normal operation. DTX/Bee provides 3.3V, up to 100mA directly from the ICeemite to power a Bee module. In cases where the Bee module requires more power, such should be supplied on the relevant VCC pin without that affecting the normal work of the ICeemite.

See the ICeemite module for more details about its functionality.

DTU1012

DTU1012 is a highly accurate and reliable square wave output programmable frequency generator aimed at wide range of applications. It provides two independently controlled outputs for "low" and "high" frequency.

The "low frequency" output allows an easy selection from 33 pre-defined frequencies ranging from 250Hz through 4MHz. The selection is controlled via simple serial interface from the UART output of any microcontroller.

The "high frequency" output is a fixed 16MHz square wave suitable for system clock. It can be enabled or disabled depending on the state of a digital input of DTU1012.

With very low operating current (typically under 1.5mA) over a wide range of supply voltages, and low cost, DTU1012 outperforms most of its direct competitors in the segment. The device is available in human-friendly DIP-8 package as well as miniature SOT23-6 and TDFN-8 packages.

DTU1552

DTU1552 is a simple analogue keyboard controller allowing the designer to add up to 16 keys or switches plus an independent 'Shift' key by using only one UART reception line.

The internal firmware is self-calibrating thus removing this difficult part from the developer's shoulders and also enabling reliable operation over wide temperature range without using expensive precision resistors and temperature calibrated voltage source. It also includes built-in contact debouncing functions as well as internal timestamp counter. It automatically determines the number of switches on start. The firmware also detects errors, such as stuck button or a few simultaneously pressed buttons.

DTU1552's output is a detail-rich message to let the developer detect press or release of a button, to measure the time between events and detect button combinations.

With very low operating current (typically about 620uA) over a wide range of supply voltages, and low cost, DTU1552 is a easy and hassle-free choice. The device is available in human-friendly DIP-8 package as well as miniature SOT23-6 and TDFN-8 packages.
