Features

• Arduino Pro Mini
• Detachable Human Interface design (HID)
• Flexible Input power
• I/O Boards
• Mounts in a standard extruded Aluminum enclosure

Arduino Pro Mini

• Inexpensive and widely available
• I/O
  • 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs)
  • 6 analog inputs
• On-board resonator
• Reset button
• A six pin header can be connected to an FTDI cable provide USB power and communication to the board
• 3.3 or 5V
• 8 MHz (3.3V or 16 MHz (5V)
• Programmable in Arduino IDE

Detachable Human Interface design (HID)

• OLED
  • 128x32 or 128x64
  • u8x8 driver - 6.2KB overhead
• Rotary Encoder with switch
  • Efficient bounce-less software
• Can leave attached to main board until installing in box

Input power

• Wide input voltage range
  • 5-23V (for 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini)
  • 7-23V (for 5V Arduino Pro Mini)
• 2.1mm DC Power Connector Jack
• RF filter into Switching regulator board
• 2nd RF filter into HID card
• Mini360 Switching Mode Power Supply
  • About $1
• Jumper to use raw input and not populate the Mini360
  • Uses the inputs jack as RAW power into the Arduino Pro Mini
  • 3.35-12 V (3.3V model) or 5-12 V (5V model)

I/O Boards

• • Arduino pins brought to 2x13 header
    • I/O pins are on 0.1" grid for easier prototyping
    • P2-P13, A0-A3
    • A4/A5 or SDA/SCL
  • Easily designed
  • 3 BNC or SMA connectors
    • Brought to headers
    • DB25 pass-through
