openPICUS is an open hardware/software project born in Rome in March 2010

Website is http://www.openpicus.com

It is the first open hardware family of programmable wireless modules using standard technologies (WIFI or Ethernet) based on 16 bit low cost Microchip PIC 24FJ series.

We aim to fill the gap between sensors and automation apps and the wireless world made of smartphones and tablePC

BENEFITS

- Hardware platform: FLYPORTs are system-on-module and NESTs are expansion boards.

- Connected : Wi-Fi or Ethernet. You have full control of the Stack and power down modes.

- Software Framework: your Apps can control the functions of the Protocol Stack, but you don't need to be an expert of it.

- Development tool: free openPicus IDE is ready to let you start development immediately

- Serial Bootloader: preloaded on modules, you don't need a programmer

MODULES PINOUT

On a standard 2*13 Male pin header 2.54mm connector are:

#5 Digital Inputs 5V Tolerant - For ex. D1_in

#5 Digital Outputs (4 can be used as PWM, 3,3V level) - For ex. D5_out

#4 Analog Inputs (10bits ADC, VRef=2,048V 1bit=2mV) - For ex. A3_in

#1 UART

#1 SPI

#1 I2C

#1 Reset (Active Low)

Power Supply (5V or 3,3V)

NOTE: pin are remappable by software!
