Some example of custom devices realized
All the units listed below were developed and manufactured in our
laboratorys.
PTK: Project TimeKeeper
The PTK has been conceived to have a visual track of a
(project) deadline. It is essentially a credit-card size (80 x 42 x
8mm) clock in which one programs the current date, the begin-of-project
and the End-of-project date. The PTK shows the remaining (or past) of
days to the End-of-project, graphically and numerically.
It is based on a uEM6522 Ultra Low Power 4-bit microcontroller driving
a custom-made LCD.
Zeus1: Custom device
Core unit of a fibre optic fusion splicer device.
Features:
- Microcontroller PIC16F872
- Hi-Voltage stage for arc generation
- NiMH battery charger
SOFO: Custom device
This is the core unit of a battery-powered structural monitoring system
(bridges, dams...) based on fibre optic sensors.
The unit is composed by:
- Base board implementing all the interfaces for motor drive,
Lead-Acid battery monitoring&charge, AD/DA, Infrared LED, LCD,
CAN and Power supply.
- One GMS332 CPU board
- One PCCARD-332 board for data logging
BOA: Custom device
It is an embedded NC device used to orient fibre optic connectors on
polarized fibres.
The unit is composed by:
- Base board implementing all the interfaces for motor drive,
Power Meter interface GPIB (IEEE-488), RS232, CAN
- One GMS332 CPU board
EEG: Custom device
It is 2-channel electroencephalograph.
Features:
- Microcontroller PIC16C71
- 0.1uV input sensitivity
- 10KV Isolation towards PC connection
