Microcontroller Board features radio link.
Press Release Summary:
Model WMB-USA uses Atmega8535-16 chip, running at 16 MHz and achieving almost 16 MIPS. Built-in serial RF link has variable power from 1-10 mW with selectable data speeds. Suited for wireless control, mobile robots, and data-logging applications, board accepts input voltage from 6-35 V with polarity inversion protection, and includes four 8-bit I/O ports and one serial port. It measures 84 x 70 x 20 mm.
Original Press Release:
WMB-USA: Versatile Microcontroller Board Has Radio Link
Pittsford, NY. WMB-USA is a new wireless controller board which uses Atmega8535-16 - one of the latest, fastest Atmel Mega chips, running at 16 MHz and achieving almost 16 MIPS. The built-in serial RF link has variable power from 1 to 10 mW, with selectable data speeds. All of the parameters at the PC end can be easily modified with the configuration software supplied free with the board.
The combination of high speed and seamless wireless communication via your PC or Laptop make the radio micro board particularly well suited for the development of low cost wireless control, mobile robots and data logging applications. At 16 MIPS, it is many times faster than PIC solutions, and there are many compilers available that are suitable for this board, the easiest to use is BASCOM AVR - a demo version of this and BASCOM Basic is supplied free, which compiles to machine code, so there's no loss in speed. Individual applications can easily be developed in Basic or C.
WMB-USA is only 84 x 70 x 20(H) mm in size and accepts any input voltage from 6 - 35V, with polarity inversion protection too - and 750mA is available for peripheral electronics needs. Four 8-bit I/O ports and one serial port make the board extremely versatile in terms of control and I/O capability.
