Cable for parallel port

Using this interface cable you can plug the 8or module to the parallel port of your PC computer easily and fast. There are included three friendly programs written in Visual Basic. The code was made thinking the student will understand the operation of the parallel port easily and fast.

The first program shows how a decimal number between 0 and 255 can activate the 8 data bits of the parallel port.

The second program can activate each bit in an independent way by a single mouse click.

The third one depicts how to control the speed of the data secquence using a graphical control of the Windows enviroment.

8 output IR module

Code: 712 Name: detectIR

This module receives IR signals from a universal remote control (like the TV ones).

This board counts with an IR sensor which receives signals from the universal remote control. Using a flat cable you get an 8 line of TTL/CMOS output, each output becomes active by clicking the remote control keys 1, 2, 3... and so on. It can receive a power supply of 5V DC too.

This module plugs directly to the 8or board. You can buy the kit items separately: the 5V power supply Code: 903 and the remote control Code: 712-1.

Control for R/C servomotors

Code: 713 Name: svprog

Code: 713-1 Name: CirrusCS-71

leaders.com/gallery/cirrus0001.asp

In their beginnings the R/C servo motors were widely deployed in the radio control realm. Today countless applications use them, one of the most important are the robots. With this module you can control up to three servo motors. Two buttons control the forward/backward movement of each servo motor.

The most important fact of the project is that the module can store in memory up to 41 motor positions, which you can run automatically.

The procedure to program the motor movements can't be more simple: move the motor to the desired position then you press the "program" button. If you want so, then repeat this secquence 41 times. To execute the rutine, you just change a jumper to the "execute" position. There is a "reset" button to refresh the memory.

This project is based on a programmed PIC16F627 microcontroller. It is suggested to set 6V AC/DC 2A power supply for this board.

The module can work with any servo motor, but it is suggested to use the Cirrus CS-71, code 713-1. If you want to buy the source code program, ask it by the code 713-2.
