Working with iMX233-OLinuXino and MOD-IO2

UEXT connector allow many and different devices to be attached to it.

To may they all work together without collisions I2C protocol is used to address them.

The protocol is like this:



– this is the unique OLIMEX I2C address which is 0×48 this address is used to talk to all Olimex UEXT modules.

– this is the ID of every UEXT module TYPE which is attached to the I2C bus, for instance if we want to talk to MOD-IO2 this ID is 0×02

– as we can have many MOD-IO2 connected on the I2C but this is the MOD-IO2 address number which we talk to, each MOD-IO2 by default have address 0xA0, this address can be re-programmed to other value so many MOD-IO2 to be connected together.

– allow specific command to be sent to the UEXT module like switch relays, read GPIOs, read AINx etc.

Set-relay command is 0×40, Set-new-address command is 0xB0, read AIN0 is 0×10 read AIN7 is 0×17 and so on.



if we use I2CTOOL we can talk easily to MOD-IO2 connected to iMX233-OLinuXino, for instance to switch both relays ON we can do:

$ ./i2c-tool -w 0 0×48 4 0×02 0xA0 0×40 0×03

where -w means I2C write, 0 – this is I2C channel we write to channel 0, 0×48 is OLIMEX I2C address, 4 is number of bytes to follow, 0×02 is MOD-IO2 ID, 0xA0 is default MOD-IO2 address, 0×40 is set-relay command, 0×03 is set both relays

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
