Hello
there…
Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese friends. May the year of goat brings everyone full of joyous moment and eternal prosperity.
First
of all, I would like to thank Cytron Technologies for the gift sincerely. I
found out this contest from their Facebook page around October last year.
Of course, I won’t miss this opportunity as I
can grab the brand new product for free. Next, I have uploaded a simple product
of mine to take part in the contest.
In a quick moment, I requested most of my
Facebook friends to like my post. Thanks god that I’ve made it! My post
successfully grabs the attention of the organizer. Soon after, they posted my
beloved product via mail directly to my address.
Upon receiving my
precious present, I start surfing the Cytron Technologies website to check its
operational mode. Datasheet of CIKU is just downloaded into my lappy. I made a
short conclusion of CIKU:
1. It uses PIC18F4550
from Microchip as microcontroller in main board which resembles Arduino UNO but
not exactly the same. The images below are downloaded from Cytron Technologies
main website.
2. It powered up by
using a USB miniB cable where a normal PC can switch it on.
3. It operates with +5V
and requires input voltage of 7V to 12V.
4. The structure
developed from embedded system of the main microcontroller which contains 20
i/o pins. In contrast to Arduino Uno,it contains only two PWM pins.
5. Nonetheless, it has
six analog input channels which allows us to stay away from the digital world.
Hahaha…
6. In its internal
architecture, where we can’t sense is 32Kbytes flash memory, 2Kbytes, 256 bytes
of EEPROM and clock speed of 48MHz.
7. It can be program by
using MPLAB XC8 compiler with the related header of Arduino’s library.
So, get ready to program
the board and revise the basic language of C !
I will make a good use
of CIKU in my coming projects.
Ciao…
