Introduction

One of the disadvantages of the Phidget system is the fact that a PC is required to control the components. Sometimes this is undesirable during user testing. A microcontroller can be used to create a standalone system.

A special board has been created to connect several Phidget sensors and actuators to the TU/e microcontroller. This means that you can use tools like flash to easily experiment with different interaction styles and later, when a standalone solution is required, replace the computer by the microcontroller.

Documentation

Documentation about the microcontroller is available at the website of the ID E-atelier.
Documentation about the Phidget sensors and actuators is available at the ID Phidgetsite.

More information about the PIC/Phidget adapter board will be made available soon.

Support

Programming the microcontroller is explained in the assignment.
Support is provided at the ID Electonics atelier.
