MikroElektronika has released its 8th generation of development board for rapid prototyping.
Uni-DS v8 uses swappable boards for both microcontroller and peripherals, with its SiBrain-branded collection offerign a choice of MCU families including STM32, Kinetis, TIVA, CEC, MSP, PIC, dsPIC, PIC32, and AVR.
To add peripherals, there are five sockets for the company’s Click boards, of which there are now at lease 1,200 to chose from.
“They cover functions including mixed-signal, wireless connectivity, storage, interface, displays, human-machine interface, adaptor, clock and timing, motor control, power management, audio and voice,” according to the company.
In the middle of the board is 2 x 20pin connector into which one of 16 displays can be attached, including TFT capacitive and resistive touch boards of 3, 4, 5 and 7in diagonal with resolutions of 320 x 240, 480 x 272 or 800 x 480pixels. OLED and e Ink options are planned.
For the first time, the development board gets Mikroe’s Wi-Fi-based CodeGrip programmer and debugger. “This means that designers can place a development board almost anywhere, including difficult-to-access sites such as hasardous environments, agricultural settings and high-rise buildings, while still retaining full debugging and programming access,” it said.
A power supply is built-in, drawing power from a jack (12Vdc), USB or a Li-po or Li-ion battery. If a battery is fitted, it can be configured as uninterruptable.
Output voltage is programmable (via CodeGrip), and can be used as a reference for data converters, for exampled.
