A microcontroller includes a microprocessor (CPU) as well as a number of other components like RAM, flash and EEPROM to store your programs and constants. While a microprocessor requires external devices to control things like input/output, or timers to implement periodic tasks, and digital to analog converters, a microcontroller is all inclusive. Contrast this all-in-one approach with a typical personal computer which contains an INTEL or AMD CPU, as well as separate chips for RAM, a separate video card, a dedicated hard drive, silicon chips or PCI circuit boards to enable the processor to access USB, serial and video card signals Microcontroller pins are general purpose, whereas CPU pins are specific. This means that each pin is tied to a multiplexer which you must set to choose the particular use for the pin. For example, in a microcontroller, one pin pin might be re-purposed for the following tasks 1. The output of a timer 2. Send a signal to a motor 3. Receive an input from a sensor or analog device Basic Concepts Covered Thus far: Blink an LED - overview of GPIO and setting up the microcontroller Drive a Motor - using the Timer and PWM modules of the microcontroller Turn a Servo - More details on using timer modules and PWM to control a servo Obtain Data from the Line Scan Camera - ADC Setup and GPIO Bit Blasting to create clock and pulse signals controlling the line scan camera I2C tutorial - Using I 2 C to communicate with various sensors using the K40 Button - An overview of how to implement a simple button Additional Concepts we would like to add to the Wiki: Timer Modules PWM watchdog-timer memory

The TRK-MPC560xB: MPC560xB StarterTRAK (Development Kit) is a Freescale evaluation board powered by the qorivva chip. The Qorivva microcontrollers family is a set of 32 bit Power Architecture chips. Which Chip do you have? The chipset mounted on the boards for the Freescale Cup can vary. Always validate your chipset to know it's full capabilities. MPC560xB Product Information Page Difference Highlights: 5604B = 512MB Code Flash; no DMA 5606B = 1MB Code Flash; Has 16-Channel DMA 5607B = 1.5Mb Code Flash; Has 16-Channel DMA TRK-MPC5604B Hardware Setup There are several main hardware configuration steps. After installing the battery, once the USB cable has been connected between the evaluation board and PC, it may be necessary to update the chip firmware which requires moving a jumper pin on the evaluation board.

This article serves you as an introduction of Kinetis TWR K40 microcontroller. At the end of this part, you shall be able to answer some basic questions such as: what is Kinetis K40, and what is a Tower System. 2. Kinetis K40 32-bit Kinetis MCUs represent the most scalable portfolio of ARM® Cortex™-M4 MCUs in the industry. Enabled by innovative 90nm Thin Film Storage (TFS) flash technology with unique FlexMemory (configurable embedded EEPROM), Kinetis features the latest low-power innovations and high performance, high precision mixed-signal capability. For the Freescale Cup Challenge, we have provided several tutorials, example code and projects based on the twr-k40x256-kit. This board is part of the Freescale tower-system, a modular, reusable development platform that allows engineers to quickly prototype new designs. The K40 chip is a 144 pin package with 512KB of Flash, 245Kb of Program Flash, 4KB of EEProm, and 64KB of SRAM.      Important Documents:           Kinetis K40 Reference Manual           Besides the Reference manual and the Datasheet, the most useful document for learning to program the K40 chip is the:           Kinetis Peripheral Module Quick Reference           Data sheet           Errata      External Links           Freescale's Kinetis K40 Product Page (You can find all the information you want about Kinetis K40 over here) 3. TWR-K40X256 Kit The TWR-K40X256 Kit is a Freescale evaluation board powered by the Kinetis K40 microcontroller. The Kinetis microcontroller family is a set of 32 bit ARM Cortex M4 chips which feature flexible storage, lower power usage, high performance and optional Floating Point Unit with many useful peripherals. For more information on the Kinetis family see Freescale's Kinetis website. The Tower System is a prototyping platform with interchangeable and reusable modules along with open source design files. Freescale K40 MCU Tower Module: TWR K40X256 Hardware Setup There are several main hardware configuration steps. After installing the battery, once the USB cable has been connected between the evaluation board and PC, it may be necessary to update the chip firmware which requires moving a jumper pin on the evaluation board. TWR K40X246 Hardware Setup Instructions Board Tips The TWR-K40X256 features a socket that can accept a variety of different Tower Plug-in modules featuring sensors, RF transceivers, and more. The General Purpose TWRPI socket provides access to I2C, SPI, IRQs, GPIOs, timers, analog conversion signals, TWRPI ID signals, reset, and voltage supplies. The pinout for the TWRPI Socket is defined in Table 3 of the TWR-K40X256 User's Manual, but the user manual does not describe how to order a connector. A Samtec connector, part number: SFC-110-T2-L-D-A is the proper female mating connector for the TWR-K40X256 TWRPI socket.

     El juguete consiste en 3 botones de un tamaño adecuado. Cada uno precederá a una tira o serie de leds. El programa ejecutará una instrucción que creará una secuencia de valores aleatorios, los cuales, por así decirlo, descenderán por las tiras de leds. El niño tendrá que presionar los botones en el tiempo en el que la luz alcanza y permanece en el botón. Muy similar al videojuego Guitar Hero. El aumento de dificultad es mediante el aumento de la rapidez de juego; será regulada según la posición de un potenciómetro. También será posible decidir el número de botones a usar.      El modo de uso no se limita a las manos, podrá ser usado con los pies sin problema alguno. Para hacer eso posible cada botón será independiente de los otros dos, lo que permitirá el acomodo más ergonómico de los botones según las limitaciones de movilidad del niño. Para evitar el desplazamiento de los botones por la superficie: suelo, alguna mesa... los botones se fijarán a un tapete de Velcro.
