Block Diagram

The Open Data Acquisition System consists of a Data Acquisition Processor (DAP) and I/O cards.

The block diagram is:

Maximum Configuration

  • Up to 8 I2C addresses typically
  • Up to 64 cards can be supported with an I2C repeater
  • Up to 8 of 8 port I2C repeaters can be used
    • With (64) DIGIO-128 cards would result in 8,192 bits of digital I/O

Features

The Open Data Acquisition System features a powerful combination of Open Hardware and Open Software to access low level hardware interfaces from a Host Computer.

Open Hardware

Open Software

  • USB Interface runs industry standard Firmata
  • Processor card runs Arduino Leonardo compatible software
  • Arduino "Wire" Standard I2C bit driver
  • Community supported Python, C++, Ruby, LabView, VxWorks drivers

Personality EEPROM

  • Useful when there are a lot of I2C cards in a system
    • Useful in card test
    • Configure the card once, autodetect later
  • EEPROM I2C base address = 0x50
    • I2C address offset (0x50-0x57) set by jumpers for MCP23008/MCP23017 I2C port expanders
  • 24LC024 EEPROM
    • 256x8
    • 2.5-5.5 V
    • Maximum Clock Frequency: 400 kHz
    • Supply Current - Max: 3 mA
  • Based on Raspberry Pi Hat Spec
struct eep_vals
{
  char signature[4]; // 0-3 - "ODAS" in ASCII
  byte fmt_version;  // 4 - EEPROM data format version (0x00 reserved, 0x01 = first version)
  byte rsvd;         // 5 - set to 0
  short numatoms;    // 6-7 - set to 2
  long eeplen;       // 8-11 - set to 96 dec
  byte uuid[16];     // 12-27 - "0000000000000000" in ASCII
  short pid;         // 28-29 - See PID table
  byte vslen;        // 30 - set to 32 dec
  byte pslen;        // 31 - set to 32 dec
  byte vstr[32];     // 32-63 - Vendor Null terminated String
  byte pstr[32];     // 64-95 - Product Null terminated String
};
  • Addresses 96-255 are user programable
  • Addresses 0-95 can be changed by user (if desired)

Drivers

Arduino

Host Software - Firmata

Firmata is a generic protocol for communicating with microcontrollers from software on a host computer. It is intended to work with any host computer software package. Right now there is a matching object in a number of languages. It is easy to add objects for other software to use this protocol. Basically, this firmware establishes a protocol for talking to the Arduino from the host software. The aim is to allow people to completely control the Arduino from software on the host computer.

Firmata has an attractive Test Program User Interface which could be easily extended
