B.4.3 Other Prototyping Board Modules and Options
With the RCM3209/RCM3229 plugged into the
RS-232 transceiver, and can act as the "master" relative to another RabbitCore RCM3000,
RCM3100, or RCM3209/RCM3229 plugged into the
"slave."
An optional LCD/keypad module is available that can be mounted on the Prototyping
Board. Refer to Appendix C, "LCD/Keypad Module," for complete information.
The RCM3209/RCM3229 has a 2-channel quadrature decoder and a 10-bit free-running
PWM counter with four pulse-width registers. These features allow the RCM3209/
RCM3229 to be used in a motor control application, although Rabbit does not offer the
drivers or a compatible stepper motor control board at this time.
The Prototyping Board has a header at J6 to which a customer-developed motor encoder
may be connected. Figure B-6 shows the motor encoder pinout at header J6.
Refer to Appendix E, "Motor Control Option," for complete information on using the
Rabbit 3000's Parallel Port F in conjunction with this application.
