Hello
there…
First of all, I would
like to thank Cytron Technologies again for the gift. I found out this
contest from their Facebook page around October last year (oops about one-year ago)
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 approached 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. Unboxing pictures...
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 is powered up by
using a USB miniB cable where a normal PC can switch it on.
3. Operates with 5 V dc output and requires input voltage of 7 V to 12 V dc source.
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 32kb flash memory, 2Kbytes, 256 bytes
of EEPROM and clock speed of 20MHz.
7. It can be program by
using MPLAB XC8 compiler with the related header of Arduino’s library.
Get ready to program
the board and revise the basic language of C !
I have accomplished one of my project with it and presented to my lecturer as a part of my coursework. Sharing it soon ! Nevertheless, I will make good use
of CIKU in my coming projects.
Ciao…
