MultiComms Adapter
Description
CambridgeIC’s CTU and resonant inductive encoder ICs measure the position of contactless, inductively coupled targets relative to sensors.
The MultiComms Adapter connects these processor ICs to a PC for demonstration, evaluation and prototype programming.
The MultiComms Adapter includes a dual core ARM M0+ Cortex processor: the RP2040 from Raspberry Pi. This performs low-level interactions with a connected CambridgeIC processor IC over a customer’s choice of interface. The MultiComms Adapter is controlled by CambridgeIC software running on a host PC. It can stream measurement data to a PC at high speed.
The MultiComms Adapter supersedes CambridgeIC’s Streaming Adapter; it adds MultiComms support, switched power supplies and indicator LEDs.
