Discription:
The M2 Engine has been conceived as an experimentation and ultra
low cost serial interface board. It can help developers, students
and electronic designers in general to quickly assemble a circuit
and evaluate its performance.
Not only a complete line of digital interfacing is provided but
also analog inputs are available through the 10 bit ( 2 channels
) on board ADC, the Function for reading the ADC is provide by the
DLL interface.
Some examples of peripheral devices that can be interfaced through
the M2 are: DC and stepping motors, servomotors, analog sensors,
etc.
The M2 becomes a 40-pin module, which can be plugged into any ordinary
experimenting breadboard.
The M2 Engine contains a WiZ232-A ( Serial Intelligence Interface)
chip that minimizes the hassle associated when communicating with
a PC.
The M2 came with a (DLL) interface for Windows Operative Systems
( 95/98/00,NT), and also Source Code is available for Visual Basic
and C++ languages.
The M2 Engine works equally well with a Mac®, an Apple® II (with
a serial port) or an IBM compatible (XT or higher).
