development kit ready

It's just a pitty that the connector of the display is mirrored. That's the only thing that went wrong in the process. But we corrected this awful bug and expect a new PCB ready for end of januari 2009.

As you can see the board is totally supplied by the USB cable.

Meanwhile I can continue on this board with further proof of concepts needed for the project.


Things todo:

  1. Writing a serial communication driver for the master
  2. Writing a timer (PWM) based module for the triac
  3. Introduce a button to change the triac state
  4. Set up a parameter structure
  5. Analyse the possibility to filter the CAB signal by software
  6. Expand the one line protocol to the slave state machine
  7. Convert the assembler OLED init code to a C module
  8. Writing a UI on the OLED
  9. Several tests on each of the above
Plenty things still to do as you can see but I love to dive into of course. 
Stay tuned for more news...
