The BrainStem GP 2.0 is Acroname's next generation of the popular GP 1.0 module. It has much of the same I/O, connectivity, and internal TEA program multi threading as the GP 1.0, with a set of new features, including: Infrared I/O in either NEC or RC5 protocols.Much expanded program space, the GP2 stores one 16k and 11 1k TEA programs.5V Vcc ouput at up tp 1A maximum provided regardless of input voltage; 3.2V to 28V input voltage accepted.GP 2.0 New features: Infrared I/O in either NEC or RC5 protocols. Stores one 16k and 11 1k TEA programs Prototyping area with 2 analog, 3 digital, I2C, Vcc, and Vsrc holes. Voltage Supervisor with 3.2V shutoff. 5V Vcc ouput provided regardless of input voltage; 3.2V to 28V input voltage accepted Onboard power switch and low battery indicator LED Separate servo power supply pin; jump to use Vsrc for servos GP2.0 features in common with GP1.0: 40 MHz RISC processor 5 channel, 10 bit A/D 5 digital I/O lines 1 MBit IIC port IIC routing Heartbeat status LED Runs up to 4 TEA programs concurrently UART serial port Reflex architecture 4 high-resolution servo outputs Execution of 9000 instructions per second Access to I/O features via built-in serial command set Convenient power and ground connections for each I/O pin The GP2.0 is currently supported on Windows, MacOS X and Linux, and can be accessed through software developed by Acroname, including the Console and GP applications. In addition, SDKs are provided for C and Java development. A TEA compiler, the GP and Console programs, support libraries, and example programs are available on multiple platforms. The TEA compiler is also integrated into the Console. The BrainStem software can be downloaded from the Acroname download center section for free.
Full Technical Documentation from BrainStem Central BrainStem software is available from theAcroname download center The BrainStem GP 1.0 is the first microcontroller to be supported on Windows, WinCE, MacOS X, PalmOS and Linux. The GP 1.0 Module pairs BrainStem software with hardware to provide you with an ideal, user-friendly microcontroller environment. With convenient power and ground connections for each I/O pin, ten analog and digital I/O lines, a Sharp GP2D02 driver, high-resolution servo outputs, and an I2C bus, the module offers "plug & play" ease for connecting most accessories. Modules can operate as a serial slave device, run concurrent TEA programs, and handle reflexive actions automatically. Best of all, these can all happen simultaneously. All BrainStem modules can be stacked with other BrainStem modules, as well as third-party peripherals, along an industry standard I2C bus.The Brainstem fully supports all Devantech I2C modules as well as the SRF04 and SRF05 ultrasonic rangers. All BrainStem modules can run Tiny Embedded Application (TEA) programs, a subset of the C programming language. In addition to running TEA programs, the GP module can perform slave commands and manage reflexes between its inputs and outputs. You may also access the module through C, C++, and Java programs run on the host. Features of the GP1.0 include: 11 1K program storage locations The ability to run 4 concurrent TEA processes Onboard 1 Amp, 5V power regulation (low dropout) 40 MHz RISC processor 4 servo outputs with 8-bit resolution, variable range, and speed control 5 10-bit resolution A/D inputs 5 digital I/O pins with polling and timing functions 4 pins can be used for logic event timing 1MB I2C port RS-232 TTL serial port Sharp GP2D02 driver 544 bytes of RAM available to user Small size (2.5" square, 0.5" high) and easily stacked

The Moto module handles all aspects of closed-loop control of motors, enabling you to focus on when and where to move, not how. Access to this control is easy from most computing platforms. The module can operate autonomously as well.
This is a 3A H-Bridge Module based on the LMD 18200 H-Bridge. In addition, this bridge offers pass-through connections for quadrature encoders, fuse protection, and an innovative Back-EMF velocity measurement circuit. Two of these H-bridges can be fitted to the BrainStem Moto 1.0 Module. Motor voltage 12v - 27v Continuous Current 3A Peak Surge Current 6A
