MAX-233 Multichannel Transciever

MAX-233"The MAX220–MAX249 family of line drivers/receivers is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is not available. These parts are especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5µW. The MAX225, MAX233, MAX235, and MAX245/MAX246/MAX247 use no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical."

TI MAX 232n Driver / Reciever

MAX232N"The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels from a single 5-V supply. Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels. The driver, receiver, and voltage-generator functions are available as cells in the Texas Instruments LinASIC library."

A3955 Full-Bridge PWM Microstepping Motor Driver

MOTOR DRIVER " The A3955 is designed to drive one winding of a bipolar stepper motor in a microstepping mode. The outputs are rated for continuous output currents to ±1.5 A and operating voltages to 50 V. Internal pulse width modulated (PWM) current control combined with an internal three-bit nonlinear digitalto- analog converter allows the motor current to be controlled in full-, half-, quarter-, or eighth-step (microstepping) modes. Nonlinear increments minimize the number of control lines necessary for microstepping. Microstepping provides increased step resolution, and reduces torque variations and resonance problems at low speed."

MOTOR DRIVER "Designed for bidirectional pulse-width modulated (PWM) current control of inductive loads, the A3953S– is capable of continuous output currents to ±1.3 A and operating voltages to 50 V. Internal fixed off-time PWM current-control circuitry can be used to regulate the maximum load current to a desired value. The peak load current limit is set by the user's selection of an input reference voltage and external sensing resistor. The fixed off-time pulse duration is set by a user-selected external RC timing network. Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis, transient-suppression diodes, and crossover current protection. Special power-up sequencing is not required.

CMUcam1 Vision Sensor

MAX-233"CMUcam is a new low-cost, low-power sensor for mobile robots. You can use CMUcam vision system to do many different kinds of on-board, real-time vision processing. Because CMUcam uses a serial port, it can be directly interfaced to other low-power processors such as PIC chips. At 17 frames per second, CMUcam can do the following:

* track the position and size of a colorful or bright object
* measure the RGB or YUV statistics of an image region
* automatically acquire and track the first object it sees
* physically track using a directly connected servo
* dump a complete image over the serial port
* dump a bitmap showing the shape of the tracked object "

Packet Whacker

MAX-233"The EDTP Packet Whacker is a 10Base-T Ethernet module that allows you to add Ethernet capability to any microcontroller or microprocessor including the Atmel AVR or the Microchip PIC.
The Packet Whacker is based on the Realtek RTL8019AS Ethernet IC. All pins of the RTL8019AS that are used to implement Ethernet connectivity with a microcontroller are brought out to standard .100 inch center holes. Onboard status LEDs, 20MHz crystal and consolidated magnetics/RJ-45 in the form of an LF1S022 make the Packet Whacker easy to deploy in your application.
The Packet Whacker firmware suite includes simple routines that allow control of a PIC16F877's or PIC18F452's I/O pins using UDP via a VB program and TCP/IP by way of a Telnet session on your PC. Also, Atmel AVR code is available to allow interfacing an AVR micro to the Packet Whacker via the Internet or a LAN. You can download the Packet Whacker code package for project details. "

Pontech SV203 Servo Controller

MAX-233"The SV203 RC Servo Motor Controller is a Microchip PIC16C73 microcontroller based servo motor controller board. It accepts RS232 serial data signal from a host computer and outputs PWM (pulse width modulated) signal to control up to eight RC servo motors (servos used in radio-controlled model airplanes, cars, etc.). Unused servo pins can be reconfigured for digital output to drive on/off devices.
A 5-channel, 8 bit A/D input is available to read analog voltages between 0 to 5 Volts. Devices such as an analog joystick or potentiometers can be connected to this port and the position can be read by the PC and sent back to the board to control the servo position.
The SV203 RC Servo Motor Controller processes commands sent by a host computer connected to the serial port. The commands are ASCII character strings that select the board, tell which servo to control, and the position of the servo. "
