EB003 Sensor Interface Block Diagram
- Click EB003-30-2 for the datasheet.
- The male D-type connector fits into the female connector of one of the ports of an upstream board.
- This board is developed for learning how to 'read' analogue inputs from analogue sensors and inputs from specific digital sensors.
- The PICmicro can 'read' analogue voltages between VDD and VSS
- The Analogue input is always converted by the PICmicro to a 10-bit Binary Value (0 -1023)
- There are 2 analogue sensors on the board itself to experiment with:
- An LDR (Light dependent resistor) on PIN 1
- A Variable Resistor on PIN 2
- External Analogue Sensors can be connected to J4 and their output is routed to the PICmicro on PIN 4
- External Digital Sensors can be connected to J3, and their output is sent to the PICmicro on PIN 3. Some digital sensors are active and require a stimulus from the PICmicro. For these a signal from the PICmicro to the Digital Sensor is available on PIN 5
- For normal usage, leave the jumpers in the Default position.
- The Patch position is used to manually override the mapping of the pins.
