1. General Features
The Engineering Kits (IS-ENG-KIT-x) are designed to accelerate the incorporation of the SmartSwitch family
of products into real world applications by, not only familiarizing design engineers to the SmartSwitch
products, but also as a development platform for experimentation and design viability testing. The schematic
and source codes in C language are provided.
Features:
• Controls up to two SmartSwitches/SmartDisplays or one OLED Rocker (Table 1).
• 1M or 16M on-board NOR flash memory to store images, attributes or any other information.
• Serial communication via USB (115.2K, 1 start bit, 8 bit, 1 stop bit).
• Auxiliary port with 7 I/O pins of microcontroller to control/sense other applications.
• Stand alone or real time operation.
• Preprogrammed for basic operation.
• Reports via USB the switch closures, releases, timer expirations, and addresses of the images displayed.
• Programmable to change the displayed images based on a switch actuation and user defined timers for
stand-alone operation.
• Schematics and firmware are provided for user firmware customization.
• User can program the engineering kits using The PICKIT3 and an adaptor.
• The kits come with a 6-foot USB 2.0 A to Mini-B cable (IS-USB1).
• Power Specs: Maximum 150mA @ 5V DC.
• Can be powered either by USB or by optional 5V power connection (.100” spacing).
• Windows based software is provided for communication.
o Accepts bitmap files, extracts the images and download them to the controller.
o Allows typing of commands and downloading to the controller.
o Extracts HEX or ASCII data from Excel files and downloads to the controller.
o Messages to and from the controller are displayed in different colors.
