Gravity Development Board (Coming Summer 2012)
The Series► E Series - For Earth based applications
where size & ease of programming matter. ► M Series - For Mars/Planetary based applications where shielding from the crust or a magnetic field is available. ► S Series - For free space based applications where Rad hard components is a must. Based off the Xilinx Virtex-5Q FPGA allowing reconfigurable hardware, which serves as its own back-up. Additional Features: ► Uses dense Surface Mount Technology, with hardware that includes; Two Full H-Bridges, 8-channel 10-bit ADC conversion, Multiplexer & Demultiplexer, USB control, and wireless communication (ZigBee). ► Great driver for Firgelli L16 -P linear actuator. |
E Series - Gravity Development Board (GDB)
With limited funds and expertise, prototyping a new technology can be a cumbersome and unnecessarily expensive process, especially for undergrad students, hobbyists, and small technology firms.
The GDB will replace the Arduino Uno® as the preferred high-level prototyping environment. By being upto 40x faster, being 53% smaller, having integrated high power drivers (capable of handling 100x the amperage), with more flexible Input / Output configurations, and yet is still much easier to program. The Alpha version was tested in three schools in a wide array of designs; from a Scanning Electron Microscope sampler, a robotic worm, and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. With the flexibility to program the board in four languages (The "Relativity" GUI, SPIN, C+, or Assembly), you don't have to decide between ease of coding and efficiency. You can have both! The E Series is the first of a three part series of multifunctional project development boards that will allow for quicker and thus cheaper prototyping. Our proprietary software will control all the open source hardware functions, creating a high level hardware API. The large and open source object exchange of the Propeller chip also allows for the easy addition of software functions. |
