PIC16F876 Core Board
This is the basic board that includes the PIC, serial line, RAM, and an RF-connection. Additional baords are connected using the pins in the PIC-Stack (5 Analog In, 8 I/O, I2C)
This is a simple sensor add-on board with light
(TSL250, analog output), temperature (DS1621 connected over I2C),
acceleration (2 digital outputs), and motion (Passive Infrared, digital
output). It is connected to the core via the PIC-Stack.
Sensor-AddOn
Wireless analog camera with sensors
This board includes a wireless analog video
transmitter, a CMOS-camera, PIR and acceleration sensors. The board is an
add-on to the core board and is connected via the PIC-Stack.
Vision-AddOn
Simple Load-Add-on (obsolete)
This is a simple add-on board for
driving and reading load cells. It is replaced by a better board using
instrumentation amplifiers and an additional A/D converter (details will
follow on this page). This board is connected via the PIC-Stack
Load-Add-On (obsolete)
Monolithic load sensing board (obsolete)
This was the initial implementation (Applications,
Photos etc. see
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~albrecht/load/). It is a self contained
board (PIC16F876, RF-Module, serial line, and amplifiers for load sensing)
that also features incircuit programming.
