Product Info

Rev. 2 now shipping!

NOTE: This is a "Minimal" configuration, with all the surface-mount components pre-mounted for you (except optional serial EEPROM chip). It is up to you to add the through-hole components yourself. Most of the components can be found in our Components category, at the left.

Overview:

Since it is 9S12, your code can be developed using any S12 tools (e.g. CodeWarrior, AsmIDE, GCC, ICC12, nqBASIC, etc.). For those who prefer the Arduino development environment, a community project is currently underway to port it to 9S12. If you're interested in getting involved, please contact us.

Esduino12C32 features:

• 9S12C32 microcontroller
• up to 24 MHz bus speed (with PLL enabled)
• 32K flash and 2K RAM
• jumper-selectable mapping of Arduino-defined PWM pins. This lets you choose the source for these pins in your application.
• two additional analog-to-digital channels available (PAD06 and PAD07), which can also function as digital inputs or outputs
• two additional digital I/O pins brought out (PM0 & PM1), which can be used for CAN interface, if desired (add a CAN transceiver externally)
• SPI pins also brought out to a single connector, for use with SPI peripherals, such as ShiftBrite and soon-to-be-announced products
• pads for optional USB interface retrofit (#USB2MCU) which can supply 5V to power all circuitry
• provision for external power jacks (barrel and 2-pin Molex) to accommodate alternative power source when USB not connected (e.g. batteries)
• on-board 5V and 3V regulators supply all circuitry, and also power any application shields that you plug in
• fully compatible with free nqBASIC programming language
• compatible with all other 9S12 programming environments (CodeWarrior, AsmIDE, Eclipse, etc.)
• New for Rev. 2:
• Economical support for XBee wireless modules via our ADXB adapter (sold separately)-- no XBee shield required!
• User-mappable DIG0 and DIG1 pins allow use of PM0 and PM1 instead of PS0 and PS1, freeing up two more I/O pins when the serial connection is in use.
• User-installable SPI memory device option: add onboard serial EEPROM or Flash!
