Mosquit-IO
Item #:
C-500-Mosquit-IO
Availability: Discontinued
Price: $49.99
| The Mosquit-IO control board is a low cost, simple solution designed to control two RC type servos and one DC motor. This is the perfect amount of I/O to control a pan/tilt and external DC motor, relay, or other simple DC device. |
|
|
| The board is controlled via a USB connection from a PC using a standard FTDI driver, and will show up as a Comm port once installed. At this point a very simple serial protocol is used to control the Mosquit-IO. We are providing .NET source code to a simple application to control the Mosquit-IO servos & DC motor output using a mouse, for more information check the downloads section below. |

Mosquit-IO Features:
- Control 2 Servos and 1 small 6v DC Motor
- USB connection
- Simple serial protocol for control
- Perfect board for a pan/tilt setup
- Source code and sample application available!
- Small size, measuring only 1.9"x1.6" (48.6mm x 41mm)
- 6-9.6 volt input

Note: Mosquit-IO uses terminal blocks for power, the power plug of the 6v power supply we sell at Trossen must be removed and then the wires must be stripped. Positive Lead has a ----- ------ ------ pattern along the wire.If you are using your own power supply, you MUST verify the polarity before connecting power.

| Communication Protocol: |
Virtually any programming language that can talk to a serial port can control the Mosquit-IO! Simply open the comm port and send commands at 19200 baud, 8 bits , no parity, 1 stop bit, with RTS/CTS handshaking enabled. There is only 1 command to send to the board. It consists of a sync byte (255), a Pan value for Servo 1, a Tilt value for Servo 2, and a PWM value for the motor. The Pan, Tilt, and PWM values then must be sent again and must match the first values, then a carriage return is sent.
For Example: To send a Pan value of 25, a Tilt value of 42, and a PWM Motor value of 69, you would send the following command:
>> 255 25 42 69 25 42 69 /r |
