NEW PRODUCT: OUR NEW ARDUINO NANO

Arduino Nano overview:

Arduino Nano is a surface mount breadboard embedded version with integrated USB. It is a smallest, complete, and breadboard friendly. It has everything that Diecimila has (electrically) with more analog input pins and onboard +5V AREF jumper. Physically, it is missing power jack and power select jumper. Since the Nano is automatically sense and switch to the higher potential source of power, there is no need for the power select jumper.

Nano’s got the breadboard-ability of the Boarduino and the Mini+USB with smaller footprint than either, so users have more breadboard space. It’s got a pin layout that works well with the Mini or the Basic Stamp (TX, RX, ATN, GND on one top, power and ground on the other). It’s a four-layer board with power and ground planes to help provide ICs with sufficient charge during switching and reduce noise (EMC) on high speed switching I/O pins. Ground plane help reduce radiation (EMI). Power plane is low in inductance; therefore any transients that may develop on the power line will be at lower levels.

You end up paying less with Nano than Mini and USB combined!

NEW PRODUCT:Nano USB-to-Serial converter

Now you can breadboard your own PICAXE project board and power it via USB.

USB-SER-NANO-5 is a nano small USB to Serial UART (5.0V logic level) converter module. It allows you to connect your computer through USB port and use them as the regular serial communication. All USB protocol is handled within the module. There is no other device or programming required.

This board features innovations that set them apart from other USB to Serial Converter boards. Innovations feature like 256 byte receive buffer and 128 byte transmit buffer utilize new buffer smoothing technology to allow for high data throughput. The voltage levels at TX and RX pins of the USB-SER-NANO-5 are 0 and 5.0V. That mean the TX and RX pins from the USB-SER-NANO-5 can be connected directly to RX and TX pins of your preferred microcontroller or any serial UART application.

The USB-SER-NANO-5 board is perfect for embedded systems that require a serial connection to a computer. The boards attach directly to the USB bus via a standard type mini B receptacle connector. It shows up on any Windows computer as a standard serial COM port. Any applications that talk to this COM port is automatically convert to USB and back to UART to your target board.

Drivers are available for Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, Server 2003, XP, Vista, XP Embedded and CE.NET 4.2 & 5.0. Mac OS8/9, OS-X and Linux 2.4 and greater are supported.

“MUST HAVE item for Electronic Engineers, Student and hobbyists!”

Features:

• Super small 1.05 x 0.50 inches board.
• Single board USB to asynchronous serial data transfer UART interface.
• Decoupling supply voltage.
• Design easy for breadboard.
• UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd/ even/ mark/ space/ no parity.
• Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 1 Mega baud.
• 256 byte receive buffer and 128 byte transmit buffer utilizing buffer smoothing technology to allow for high data throughput.
• Transmit and receive LEDs.
• Support for USB suspend and resume.
• Low USB bandwidth consumption.

You will find it in the USB-to-Serial Converter category.
