8 Bit Parallel Interface Board With USB

8 Bit Parallel Interface Board With USB

This USB interface lath activity is acclimated to affix 8 (parallel) abstracts curve to the USB. Main basic of this activity is FT245BM. With a baby centralized FIFO (384 byte Tx, 128 bytes Rx) and 4 handshake curve which accomplish it acceptable for interfacing microcontroller designs to the USB. Wolfgang says that you can additionally use it as simple 8bit IO back the bitbang approach is enabled. But in this mode, the $.25 will not appear out in a connected bitrate but in chunks of 64 bytes with defined baud amount followed by a delay.

USB Hourglass Sand Timer

USB Hourglass Sand Timer

If you’re attractive accidental cardinal architect activity analysis out this Arduino Based USB Hourglass. The activity combines a beach timer with a alternating apparatus and an optical axle through the centermost of the timer to beam the falling sand. The bulk of ablaze extensive a detector is digitized at common intervals and candy by a microcontroller to actuate back to circle the hourglass. The digitized ablaze levels are additionally beatific by USB to a host PC area they can be acclimated as a antecedent of accidental entropy.

Peter Allan, activity designer, explains that the USB Alarm outputs the raw analog-to-digital advocate readings as 10-bit non-negative integers (0-1023) in argument anatomy at 100 samples per second. The accouterments is able of a college abstracts rate, but there’s not abundant college abundance advice present. Using a bourgeois appraisal of 9 $.25 of anarchy per 10-bit sample, the USB alarm produces 900 bits/second of accurate randomness. For best applications the raw abstracts should be run through a acceptable whitening algorithm

USB to Serial Adapter RS-232

USB to Serial Adapter RS-232

The USB to Consecutive adapter (converter) lets you use a consecutive PDA, GPS, cell, etc. with a accepted USB port. This adapter is the easiest way to add a consecutive anchorage to your computer. Abounding PDAs, agenda cameras, GPS units, barcode scanners, and added accessories crave a consecutive connection, and abounding newer computers don't appear able with consecutive ports anymore.
