RS232 connectivity. (USB and Ethernet models are coming soon)

Its' own power regulator with Led. 9v to 32v DC input.

A master reset switch.

Programming connector for onboard programming and in circuit debugging.

We currently have firmware (see below) for our 40 pin PIC microcontroller OEM module with the PIC18F4431 by Microchip.

Custom firmware can be written for your controller needs by us or by your engineering staff using standard Micro Chip tools available by request. We can also custom design microcontroller based hardware to your specifications.

Email us with any questions, to request a schematic, or to request an estimate for firmware, hardware engineering, or quantity pricing.

The XM-AuXi* Daughter board Spec:

Four current sink drivers capable of sinking up to 300mA per channel. Over-current protection, Fault Detection, and a Sleep mode. For more details, see the Data Sheet for the 2557.

External power in, an on-board adjustable regulator cable of delivering 3 amps, and a 5 volt regulator with 1 amp maximum output. These are selectable via jumpers for the current sink, bank one, and bank two outputs.

Four on-board power configurations settable by jumpers.

Convenient servo configuration output connector.

Ribbon connector for Seventeen PIC microprocessor pins are available for IO, utilizing the PIC AtoD Converters, and other onchip PIC device.

One AtoD Converter input is used for monitoring the current sink driver voltage.

*Requires an XM-Controller, not included. Also available is firmware for the PIC18F4431 with PWM outputs controllable through an SDK.
