What's New at Robot Electronics

September 2011
 
Added the USB-RLY16L.
USB Powered and using Latching Relays the USB-RLY16L features 8 Channels capable of 16 Amps each.
May 2011
 
Added the SCR02 intelligent relay controller. Easy to setup via our free configuration utility, this sensor controlled relay module is capable of autonomous operation..

Released our 2nd generation tilt compensated compass, the CMPS10. Backwards compatible with CMPS09, the CMPS10 is better than ever with higher accuracy and lower price

Two new LCD displays have been added to our LCD03 serial LCD family. These are the 16x2 character displays in Green or Blue. Full details here.
April 2011
 
Added two camera modules from 4D Systems. the uCAM-TTL, uCAM-RS232 represent excellent value.
February 2011
 
A set of three Processor Modules featuring a top of the range PIC's from the PIC18, PIC24 and PIC32 families.

Functionally compatible with the USB-RLY16, the USB-OPTO-RLY816 adds 8 Optically Isolated inputs.
January 2011
 
Functionally compatible with the USB-RLY08, the USB-OPTO-RLY88 adds 8 Optically Isolated inputs while remaining a fully USB powered relay module.
November 2010
 
Complementing our very popular RD02, we have introduced the RD03, A 24v complete robot drive system.

Our first general purpose user programmable contol module, the USB-GPIO12 uses the PIC18F14K50 processor. The module is powered from the USB bus and includes Microchips HID Bootloader already installed.
October 2010
 
Introduced the USB-ISS, an enhanced version of our popular USB-I2C module. As well as I2C, the USB-ISS include SPI, Serial and I/O modes.

Also this month, we have produced an Ethernet version of our popular USB-RLY16. The ETH-RLY16 is controlled over Ethernet using simple TCP/IP commands.

To go with our EMG49 motors, we have released the MD49 Dual Motor Controller. This serially controlled 24v 5A H-Bridge features EMG49 encoder inputs, under/over voltage protection and an on board 10A fuse.

And finally this month, we've added a Blue version of the LCD03. The LCD03-Blue has White text on a Blue background.

July 2009
 
Added a set of examples showing how to use the PIC16F877 and PIC Basic Pro, to control our modules.
June 2009
 
Expanded our Relay Modules to include the USB-RLY16.
With heavier duty relays than the USB-RLY08, this module can switch 16amps at 240vac

Updated the RD01 and MD23. In addition to the original I2C interface, the System now supports Serial I/O at 9600/19200 or 38400 baud. New designations are RD02 and MD25
April 2009
 
Launched the SRF485 Ultrasonic Ranger.
Our first with an RS485 interface and Temperature Compensation. In 2008, over 4500 were installed in a UK Car Park. (Actually a custom version, but electronically identical).
