Microchip – HILLSTAR DEVELOPMENT KIT PACKAGE CONTENT
With the MGC3130 Software Package, including Aurea Graphical User Interface and GestIC Library, the MGC3130 Software Development Kit (SDK) and PIC18 Host Reference code, design-in is easy in five steps:
- Feature Definition
- Electrode Design
- MGC3130 Parameterization
- Host Application Programming
- Verification Hillstar hardware builds a complete MGC3130 reference system consisting of three individual
PCBs:
- MGC3130 Unit
- I2C™ to USB Bridge
- Reference Electrode with a 95×60 mm sensitive area
It can be plugged to a PC via USB cable and used for evaluation of MGC3130 chip and GestIC technology. During the customer’s design-in process the individual boards can be combined according to the customers need.
Three examples are given below:
- Combine MGC3130 Unit and I2C to USB Bridge to evaluate customized electrodes
- Use I2C to USB Bridge to parameterize and debug the MGC3130 application circuitry in the customer’s design
- Combine MGC3130 Unit and Electrodes to develop gesture-driven applications for PC based or embedded software environments.
The Hillstar Development Kit package content:
- MGC3130 Module
- I2C to USB Bridge Module
- 4-layer reference electrode (95×60 mm sensitive area)
- ‘Hand brick’ set (self-assembly, four foam blocks, one copper foil)
- USB Cable for PC connection
