FTDI Chip – Legacy peripherals to USB

Jan 152013

Specialists in converting legacy peripherals to Universal Serial Bus (USB). We offer the easiest route to USB migration by combining USB-Serial (USB-RS232) and USB-FIFO silicon solutions with our ready-to-go royalty free USB drivers. FTDI’s “total” solutions offer reduced development and debug costs and a fast time to market.

Vinco is a cost effective Vinculum-II (VNC2) development platform inspired by Arduino. The Vinco is a dual channel USB Host/Device Controller is targeted at rapid development and prototyping of USB Host/Device interfaces.

Vinco is a cost effective Vinculum

Vinco is a superset of the Arduino Duemilanove / Uno with 2 extra rows of headers providing an extra 10 pins and can be programmed using a subset of standard ANSII ‘C’ using the FTDI free of charge software development environment, consisting of development tools, software drivers and libraries

Arduino Open-source Electronics Prototyping Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. The Arduino board is a cheap, robust i/o board based on the ATmega168. It has 13 digital pins (6 of which allow PWM output) and 6 analog inputs. There are USB, serial, bluetooth, and mini versions, Build. Schematics and PCB layouts. Assembly instructions: soldering a PCB or on a breadboard (either way, you’ll need a bootloader). The open-source Arduino Environment makes it easy to write code and [Read More ....]

Adafruit Industries - Unique DIY electronics

“Adafruit Industries is a small company that sells kits and parts for original, open source hardware electronics projects featured on ladyada.net as well as other cool open source tronix that I think are interesting and well-made. Adafruit Industries – Unique DIY electronics All the projects are redesigned specifically to make it easy for beginners to make: nicely silkscreened circuit boards, through-hole parts whenever possible, extra large solder pads, etc. For some kits, you can purchase just the circuit board. To save paper, the easy-to-follow-with-lotsa-pictures instructions are all available online, at ladyada.net-make.” Designed to plug into a breadboard for easy prototyping [Read More ....]

Arduino Interfacing with Visual Basic

Sep 052011

I have tried VB2 and VB6. It is an easy environment for Hardware Engineers or Hobbyists to program. It means easy to code unlike C++. Programs made with the new VB may not be compact or fast; but as it runs on a Virtual DotNet Machine and is bug-safe and may not hang/boot too. The DotNet was MS answer to Java of Sun. Even Java is a simple language and it seems to be lighter too. DotNet of late has become a bigger download, more than 10 times the size it started with. MS can try Visual Basic Webapp on [Read More ....]
