The University of Ottawa's Real-Time and Embedded Software Design course within the Software Engineering department (SEG 4140) recently ordered custom configurations of the LISA Networking product. With LISA Networking, interfacing to multiple sensor modules is simple and effective with plug-and-play capability on our custom-designed circuit boards.

The SEG Starter Interface Kits (SIKs) included:

• 1 Interface Gateway plus 6 peripheral interface modules, including:

• 1 Power module (supporting voltage/current monitoring)

• 1 LED module (supporting 8 LEDs)

• 1 Wheel Encoder module (supporting 8 wheel encoders

• 1 Sharp DP2D02 IR Ranger module (supporting 3 IR sensors)

• 1 Servo module (supporting 4 servo motors)

• 1 UART module (supporting Bluetooth communications)

Each SEG Starter Interface Kit provides the following unique features:

• Hot plug and play peripheral interface modules

• Expandable to connect up to 112 peripheral interface modules

• Data processing capabilities on the interface modules

• Gateway serial interface via RS232 or 3.3V UART

• Auto baud rate detect hardware, tested between 0.3 k to 2,000 k Baud

• GUI validation software, for fast product familiarization

• On the fly firmware upgradeable - future proof

• Student proof design with a resettable fuse, and key shape connectors

• Low power design, for battery powered applications

The addition of the LISA SIKs to the Univeristy of Ottawa robotic platforms benefit the students by improving their learning outcomes and reducing their laboratory start up times.
