Difference between revisions of "MCookie-Hub"

mCookie-Hub is designed for ease of the connection between Microduino Sensor Series and the core modules on the UPIN27 base board as well as further extended experiment.

Features

• Integrate twelve sensor interfaces;
• Small size with sensor interface integrated on the Upin 27 base board;
• All function pins are extended;
• Prevent reverse sensor connection
• Uses 4 pin, 1.25mm pitch JST headers

Specification

• All mCookie function pins are connected to the base board of the Hub, including digital, analog, serial port and IIC interface.
• Hub's interface pinout per header: GND, VCC, signal 1 and signal 2.
• Two IIC interfaces.
• Uses 4 pin, 1.25mm pitch JST headers

Pin Description

Most sensors / trinkets use the first signal (signal 1) when connecting to the sensor hub.

• ST = Sensor / Trinket Connector

Therefore, when referencing the sensor / trinket in code. Use the first number on the labeled header.

In order to use the second signal. An IO splitter is used to split the signals out into two seperate connectors. More can be read about the IO splitter: Sensor-IO_Split

Some modules use both the signals 1 & 2, but they are limited. Please refer to the specific sensor / trinket page for more detailed information on a specific one.

The IIC (I2C) uses both signals, but these headers are use strictly for IIC communication.

Example

• With a Light Sensor that is plugged into the A2/A3 header. Use A2 to access the light sensor.
• With an Single Color LED that is plugged into the 6/7 header. Use 6 to control the LED.

Each sensor / trinket page has more specific details to which pins are used, but the general rule is use the first signal.

Each sensor / trinket may require usage of a specific type of pin, such as an analog pin. This information can be found on the wiki page for that specific sensor / trinket.

Development

• Stack with Microduino core modules and have an external connection with Microduino sensors. Select the right interface according to different sensors.
  • Sensors adopting analog port: Microduino-Sound, Microduino-Light, Microduino-Joystick, Microduino-Moisture, Microduino-Water line
  • mCookie-OLED, Microduino-Temp&Hum (Need to choose IIC interface.)
