Precision Measurement Central (2)
printed circuit board and software suite
The solid base of the Precision Measurement Central (or ‘Elektor Meter’) is the powerful MSC1210 development system and an I2C LC display unit described elsewhere in this issue. This base and the software suite described this month will be used in a number of future projects employing the highly interesting MSC1210 microcontroller.First, however, we need to ‘wrap up’ the hardware side of things. In the previous issue (July/August 2003) we discussed the operation of the MSC1210 controller board along the lines of its circuit diagram. For lack of space in the first instalment we could not include the layout of the double-sided printed circuit board and the associated component lists. With a ‘thank you for your patience’ to many dedicated readers we can now print these two items, see Figure 1.
