EUSB to 3 I/O Kit
EID's universal serial bus (EUSB)
to 3 I/O kit (3
I/O read or write) is an educational electronics kit
that allows you to connect your personal computer (PC) universal
serial port to 3 Input/output pins. The kit is based on Cypress
integrated circuit (IC), the CY7C63001.
Note:
The CY7C63001 IC is
Universal Serial Bus (USB) RISC type Micro-controller.
It conforms to USB 1.5 Mbps specification, version 1.1.
See
USB specifications at www.usb.org
for more details, or click here
to download the the CY7C63001
chip
data-sheet.
No
need for external Power supply! The board is powered directly
from your PC.
Kit
mounting
This
kit includes on board
pre-installed free
EUSB firmware!
Shown
above mounted in plastic enclosure (EID-1593 series).
This
unique kit design provides you with the ability to wire your wires
easily via front mounted terminal blocks (5). You will be able to monitor the
3 I/O pins and 3 LEDs directly
from the PC.
Please
note: EUSB wire (USB cable), plastic enclosure
and push-button switches are sold
separately
(for demonstration only).

Software

Yep,
Basic FREE SOFTWARE.
Simple to use. Control EUSB-kits directly from your personal computer (PC).
Our philosophy is that
"NO
KID or SCIENTIST WILL BE LEFT BEHIND!"
Free
demo software (see above screen shot) allows you to fully
control the 3 on board LEDs. Turn them on and off, or simply
control their brightness via on screen 16-levels slide-like switch. The software
also provides you with the means
to test your switches. When the switch is pressed (short
to ground) the corresponding "on screen switch"
will change to "0". Just release it, and it
will change back to "1". No need for external
pull-up resistors! They are provided (set) internally
on-chip via our unique firmware (provided free with your
kit). The Cypress USB IC (CY7C63001) has built-in
pull-up software controlled resistors. So when you read
P0.0, P1.0 and P1.2 I/O pins you will get "1".
When you short any of them to ground, your software will
give you "0".

Please
be advised, the demo software is provided for free,
on as-is basis, without any warranties. Run or download it on
your own risk!
All
you need to do is to plug-in the kit via EUSB cable to your
PC, run the free demo software, and viola, you can control
the LEDs and read the switch positions.
