Detachable Human Interface design (HID)

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
