GENIE 1 Module

H Scientific Ltd have developed a family of multiple channel analogue/digital I/O boards called the GENIE (GENeral Interface Equipment) board. The GENIE board connects to the PC serial port or USB port, and therefore can be used equally with a laptop or desktop PC to provide external analogue and digital inputs and outputs. It can easily be daisy-chained to increase the volume of I/O if required.

The GENIE 1 board drives a 4-digit 7-segment LED display and can be configured to interface with a 64-key keyboard. The specialist functions make it ideally suited for use as a hand-held unit replacing a computer keyboard for simple controller for a remote control system.

The standard system specification per GENIE 1 board is as follows:

6x analogue input (4x 12-bit, 2x 8-bit) analogue input, +/-5V
2x analogue output, +/-5V
Digital outputs can be configured to drive a 4-digit 7-segment LED display
Digital inputs can be used to interface with a 64-key keyboard
PC104 footprint board.
Daisy-chaining capability (up to 15 boards)
Efficient, low bandwidth communications between boards and PC
Low noise, 50mA current consumption from 12V
