xChip Boards
xChips are a rapid electronics development ecosystem to help reduce development time and simplify making custom products as well as aiding learning. Without soldering, wiring, breadboarding, or hardware knowledge you can assemble a circuit in minutes, and concentrate on coding.
xChips are compatible with the platform you want to use and bridges are available for the most popular pltatforms; Raspberry Pi, Minnowboard, Beaglebone, Micro:bit, Pixhawk and 96 boards. Rather than bridging to Ardunio, we offer compatible cores for Arduino Uno, the CC01, and for Arduino Zero, the CC03.
xChips utilise I2C, and due to this bus architecture, unlimited expansion of circuits is possible. Limitations of I2C addresses have been negated by development multiplexers.
Because of its simple connection method, it is easy to build quickly - for prototyping and small product runs
xChips connect to each other using an xBus connector, available from RS
174-4977
.
Some xChips need an xPDI connector (RS
174-4974
) to connect to programming interfaces, such as the IP02 or IP03.
OD01 – OLED Display xChip 128 x 64 (SSD1306)
This xChip is an output display module and is equipped with an OLED display unit that is capable of displaying any text or graphics. This display can be very useful as a sensor data display.
These miniature display are about 0.96 diagonal, but very readable due to the high contrast of OLED technology. This display is made of 128 x 64 individual monochrome OLED pixels, each one is turned on or off by the controller chip. Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduced the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this miniature display for its crispness!
