I2C/SPI Activity Board
TP240310
The I2C/SPI Activity Board is a perfect tool for both the expert and novice embedded systems developer. This board offers known-good target devices that allow users to more easily differentiate between hardware and software bugs. It is also useful to establish a baseline for software usage. The target devices on the activity board are also a great way for the novice developer to learn the mechanics of the I2C and SPI bus protocols.
Provides known-working I2C and SPI slave devices for testing and debugging purposes
- I2C Port Expander with configurable I2C address and a full complement of LEDs
- I2C EEPROM with configurable I2C address
- SPI EEPROM with jumpered Slave Select
- Pass-through pins for connecting an external bus monitor or protocol analyzer
- Allows an easy connection between two Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapters
