UMC32+S USB-Serial Controller




Product Description

Firmware v1.0.0

The UMC32+S is based on Hale Micro‟s UMC32+ DIY USB-MIDI controller. Unlike the original MIDI version, the S or Serial version provides users the ability to communicate with the device over a standard COM port. Communication with the device is achieved by sending simple alphanumeric commands/parameters via a terminal emulator (ex: hyper term) or your own application or script. This allows users a simple method for collecting data from external sensors, switches or turning on relays or actuators. Here are just a few features available in the first revision of the firmware.

  • 32 individually configurable I/Os
  • Multiple units can co-exist on the USB bus
  • Small printed circuit board (1.7” x 3.3”) allows creating portable end devices
  • Compatible with all versions of Mac OS X, Windows 7 / Vista / XP / 2000 and all versions of Linux
  • USB bus powered. A single USB cable handles power and data.
  • No firmware programming is necessary
  • A redesigned PCB with dedicated GND and VCC planes for enhanced signal integrity
  • I/O Configuration is now handled entirely by the configuration utility
  • Connector for external status LED, on board status LED is now blue
  • Standard USB TYPE B Connector
  • AUX I/O block for future expansion (TBD)
  • USB 2.0 Full Speed communication (12Mbit/sec)
  • RoHS Compliant (lead Free), manufactured to IPC-A-610 Rev. B, Class II
  • Mounting holes (#4 screw) near USB connector to provide additional support for USB insertion and removal
  • Individual selection of each I/O‟s corresponding hardware type including:
    • Digital Input (active low) - For receiving messages from sensors with active low TTL outputs
    • Digital Input (active hi) - For receiving messages from sensors with active high TTL
    • Analog Input (Raw)- 0-5V Analog Input, 12 bits (raw) (0 – 4095)
    • Analog Input (Averaging) - 0-5V Analog Input, 11 bits Averaging filter (0 – 2047)
