Debugging Accra and other cool things

2015-11-20_12-15-30

The Accra counter module is up and running now and we are doing the last debugging of it.  Available in the FrogShop next week I hope. It is just lovely I can tell you AND useful.

Also got boards for Moscow, the Power Injector and  Frankfurt USB today.

Moscow is a wifi board that connect CAN4VSCP to wifi, typically connects to a VSCP daemon or something like that.

The Power Injector is a board that can be used to connect CAN4VSCP boards together without the RJ-45 cabling by using the expansion (daisy chain) connector of the modules. Will be available in the FrogShop next week.

The  Frankfurt USB is the Frankfurt RS-232 with built in USB. That is it is powered from the host. It will be available in two versions. One for DIN mount and one in a boxed version. The boxed version will be the first that will be available. This “thingi” has big buffers in addition to all the features of the Frankfurt RS-232.

Below some live data from the vscp-ux components.

Adding pull-ups/downs to Beijing

Got a great tip from a customer (Maarten Zanders in Belgium) for the Beijing module. His words below.

Here’s a tip for if you use Beijing to process buttons. If you want to add stronger pull-ups (the PIC’s internal pullups are too weak to be used on physical -long- wire), there’s a component from “the old days” that can help you out: SIL resistor arrays.

Picture attached shows the resistor array in place. I think this position results in a pull down configuration.
I only have the 10 pin version at hand (9 pull-ups) but 11pin versions also exist.
