Microchip Microcontroller Selection

Microchip Microcontroller Series

Microchip microcontroller currently consist of the following series,

For simple application, 8 bit MCU is usually selected for its small footprint (size) and lower cost.

For a more complex application, 16 bit MCU is usually selected for its processing speed and the additional peripheral supported by the microcontroller series.

32 bit MCU microcontroller is usually not selected. If the application requires such a high end microcontroller, it is recommended to develop your application using a more commonly available platform like the Raspberry-Pi, beaglebone board or similar which support linux or standard operating system software.

Electronic Trigger RS232 Control Board

Electronic trigger output with RS232 control board

This is an RS232 electronic trigger board which is controlled via an RS232 communication cable. Any computer or controller can send a command through the RS232 line and trigger a dry contact output (or optical isolated NPN output) to control external devices like door or barrier.

Product Code [PIC-026]

The activated output allows you to trigger a signal to activate other external interfacing devices. If you need to use this output to control high power/current devices, you can interface this output via a higher current rated relay.

A quick test push button (optional) is available on the board which allows you to trigger the output manually without having to send the command via RS232.

The board feature a controller which the algorithm can be customised to any of your special requirements.

Application

  • trigger open for vehicle barrier control
  • vending machine
  • coin acceptor trigger emulator
  • open motorised sliding door
  • release security EM lock (electromagnetic lock) or door strike for the office door
  • trigger other external controllers
  • via an external relay switch to power on high power appliances like lighting, motor, etc…

RS232 control trigger output

Features

  • 1x dry contact relay output trigger. (for up to 24V 0.5A signal)
  • Power up from a wide voltage range 7V, 9V, 12V-24V (0.5A).
  • Convenient test button.
  • On-board adjustable output pulse timing (20mSec to 1000mSec).
    (new model only) Adjustable POT for configuring pulse timing from 10msec to 1sec
  • Precise pulse timing can be adjusted through RS232 commands.
  • Selectable output trigger, NO (normally open) or NC (normally close).
  • Small board size measuring 71 x 28mm, light in weight.
  • RS232 communication (Can use normal RS232 (DB9) cable or cross cable).
  • Default RS232 settings: 9600bps, 8bit data, 1 stop bit, no parity.

Optional Features

  • Learning mode to clone pulse timing from an external device (e.g a coin or notes acceptor).
  • Can become a sensor to detect pulse width from an external device.
  • Opto-isolated npn transistor output trigger. (or solid state output)

Please specify your requirements or application if you require these optional features.

RT-002 Reflow Tray Dimension

Use Instruction

  1. Place the IC Chips (test subject) on the reflow tray.
  2. Position the tray with the IC chips on a reflow soldering oven or the reflow soldering conveyor belt.
  3. Reflow soldering takes about 5mins, with a temperature reaching a peak of about 250°C.
  4. Allows the tray to be cool, and pick up from the reflow machinery.
  5. Allow the tray to cool down before using it for the next round of reflow testing.

Reflow Tray for IC chip testing

The PCB will turn dark green under normal usage after using it for a number of times.

Warning: If the tray is being over heated, the green mask can start to be decolourised. Burned mark with brown black color can be observed.

Typical Reflow Soldering Profile

  1. Preheat (to 150°C in 60 sec)
  2. Soak (from 150°C to 165°C in 120 sec)
  3. Reflow (reaching peak temperature of 225°C to 235°C, holding it for about 20 sec)
  4. Cooling (-4°C/s or free-air cooling)

 

Water Dispenser Kiosk

Workflow Procedure for Water Dispenser Kiosk

  1. A customer inserts their wireless card (Ezlink or NETS FlashPay card) to the water dispenser kiosk. The system holds the card.
  2. The system checks the remaining balance on the card, and estimate the max amount of water it can release base on the card balance.
  3. The user dispenses out the amount of water he needs. There is a real-time display to present to the user the amount dispensed and the cost incurred so far. The user cannot dispense more than the estimated maximum amount water (determined by the remaining balance amount on the card).
  4. Once the user finishes dispensing, the user will hook back the dispenser or eject the card. It is also an acknowledge from the user to proceed with the payment.
  5. The water dispenser kiosk will deduct from the card base on the amount of water dispensed.
