DLP-VLOG - log data directly to a USB Flash drive.
The DLP-VLOG is intended as both a
demonstration platform for the new
Vinculum IC as well
as a learning tool. The development kit is
designed to log temperature, humidity and
voltage data to a USB Flash drive. Using the
Vinculum IC from
FTDI, this system demonstrates how one can
provide virtually unlimited data storage for a
small microcontroller.
This system can be beneficial to electronics
enthusiasts with virtually any level of
technical expertise. Based on the
Vinculum Host
Controller IC and the Microchip PIC16F88
Microcontroller, the DLP-VLOG can function as a
digital design trainer, a microprocessor
development system or as a rapid path to
learning how to implement a USB Host Controller
for interfacing a USB Flash drive to a small
microcontroller.
Programming headers on the board allow for
firmware updates to both the microcontroller and
the Vinculum IC so
that the board can be updated with additional
features developed by the user as well as
firmware updates for the Vinculum.
A highly optimized C compiler from
Custom Computer Services is provided with
the kit that supports the microcontroller
firmware. Changes made to the firmware can be
debugged and reprogrammed into the
microcontroller using the CCS ICD
Programmer/Debugger module, which is also
included with the kit.
The sensor used in this design is the Senserion
SHT11. While this sensor will acquire
temperature data in the range of –40 to 123.8°C
(-40 to 255°F), it is recommended that you
restrict exposure of the module to the
commercial temperature range of 0-70°C. The
humidity range for the sensor is 0-100%
(non-condensing).
