Hello, I am new to Element14.
My team is building a platform for the breadboard for software developers. It allows you to configure prototypes without wires or other components.
How?
- Connect the controller board to your breadboard and PC.
- Connect channels to IO pins in the user interface.
The user interface will interact with the hardware and implement your configuration on a breadboard via a programmable switch matrix, thereby replacing wires.Then, if you want the user interface to interact with the ADC onboard the controller board:
- Connect the GPIO channel to the ADC channel on the same IO pin.
- Set the ADC channel on.
Then you can analyse the signal, as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtL6YwalWnk
There is also an interface on the controller board for custom shields, which can replace other components, such as higher precision ADC, a DAC, a MIDI controller, an SoC, wifi adapter or an FPGA. This feature is still in development.
Tell what you think about this tool kit.
You can follow this project at https://hackaday.io/project/18755-the-metaboard to get updated as we prepare for a crowdfunded manufacturing run.
