explain Daughterboards here.


Input

  • Digital
    • Pushbuttons
    • Switches
    • Rotary Switches
    • ... and similar momentary or permanent on/off devices
  • Analog
    • potentiometers
    • other devices with 0-5V variable output


Digital Inputs

Each PHCC Motherboard can read up to 1024 digital input channels. These inputs are available through Keymatrix Daughterboards. Each Keymatrix Daughterboard provides 64 inputs, in an 8x8 matrix. Each PHCC Motherboard allows up to 16 Keymatrix Daughterboards to be connected.

The matrix organization means that you only need 16 (instead of 128) wires from PHCC to each set of 64 switches.

Analog Inputs

Analog input (0-5V) or variable-resistance devices (aka. potentiometers, rheostats) can be used as an input to the PHCC system via the 35 analog inputs on the

LED, 7-segment displays, and other segmented displays

Segmented displays (7-segment, 14-segment, starburst, etc), LED bargraphs, as well as individual LEDs can be driven by the following controllers:

LCD

see UPHCC sister project.

D'Arsonval Meter Movement

D'Arsonval meter movements, aka. galvanometers, can be controlled directly from the DOA_AnOut1 outputs.

Quadrature Rotary Decoder

Bus Terminator

  • DOB_term (terminator for the end of the DOB bus)

Bus Repeater/Amplifier
