I have just received PCB's for two more, new shields, that I intend to make for the Amicus18 development platform.

  • The RF Shield : This shield would help , to experiment and have fun with the CCxx00 series RF Transreceiver modules that are very easily and cheaply available in this part of the world. The Modules would be connected by means of a relimate connector to a daughter card , which could take, a CC1100 (3V), CC1100(5V) Longrange and a CC2500(3V) RF transreceiver module. This Board has 4 switches and 4 LED's with which you can make a 4 channel Remote Control.
  • Audio Shield : This is one of the most interesting projects that I have commercially developed using a 16F MCU and now I bring it to, on the Amicus18 Platform, This project involves a Battery Backedup RTC (DS1307) , 4 switches, to program the RTC, Alarms and a socket to connect to a Serially controlled MP3 module.
More information on this would surely be made available , in due course, on myAmicus site.

I realise, that, its easy to make a project, but documenting it for the purpose of sharing it with other on a forum is really , time consuming. But , surely it needs to be done, as "Sharing is Caring"
