Arduino compatible development platform enables rapid prototyping with ADI or third party shields
element14 today announces the launch of Analog Devices 
EVAL-ADICUP360 Evaluation Board. The EVAL-ADICUP360 evaluation board is part of a comprehensive ecosystem which includes open source development tools, software examples, and hardware modules. The hardware has an Arduino/ PMOD form factor for easy plug and play functionality and rapid prototyping with ADI or third party shields.
Key features include:
-
ARM Cortex M3 Analog microcontroller
-
Dual integrated 3.9kSPS 24bit Data Acquisition/Sigma-delta ADC
-
Up to 12 multiplexed analog input channels
-
No External Debugger/Emulator tools needed
-
Open Source, free, Eclipse-based Interactive Development Environment (IDE)
-
Compatible with Arduino and PMOD add-on modules
Low power
The evaluation board is made up of two major building blocks: a fully integrated, 3.9 kSPS, 24-bit data acquisition system that incorporates dual high performance, multichannel sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs); a 32-bit ARM Cortex™-M3 processor; and Flash/EE memory, realised on a single chip ADuCM360 microcontroller. The ADuCM360 is designed for direct interfacing to external precision sensors in both wired and battery-powered applications. Applications would include:
-
Industrial automation and process control
-
Intelligent precision sensing systems
-
4 mA to 20 mA loop-powered smart sensor systems
-
Medical devices, patient monitoring
