Data Acquisition & Remote Co ntrol Module with FlexiPanel User Interface Server
Summary
DARC-II is a standalone Data Acquisition and
Remote Control (DARC) module. It is controlled
by a remote device running FlexiPanel Client
software using the Bluetooth link. No development
on the remote device is required.
Hardware Features
• FCC / CE certified Class I Bluetooth V2.0
radio, 100m range, integral antenna.
• 12 analog inputs (10-bit).
• 5 PWM outputs (10-bit).
• 7 digital dedicated digital I/O pins.
• All analog and PWM pins may be also
configured for digital I/O.
• Digital I/O pins can be configured as one 7-bit
and/or up to two 5-bit parallel digital I/O.
• 64K flash, 2.3K RAM and 1K EEPROM
memory available on-board.
• Up to 256K I2C external memory.
• Real time clock.
• Onboard power regulator, 3.3V – 10V supply.

Firmware Features
DARC-II has an on-board FlexiPanel Server to
create user interfaces on remote devices. The
user interface and I/O configuration are
programmed wirelessly using FlexiPanel Designer
software. The I/O pins are linked to controls, e.g.:
• Text control driven by digital input – has
separate text strings for ‘low’ and ‘high’.
• Number control driven by analog / parall el
input –equals analog value / parallel data.
• Date-time chart driven by analog / parallel
input – appends time-stamped value onto
chart.
• Digital output driven by button / image –
pulses high for 50ms when pressed.
• Digital output driven by latch – on or off
according to state of the latch.
• Parallel output driven by num ber / list
control – parallel data represents number /
selection.
• PWM output driven by number / list control –
duty cycle represents number / selection.
Customization
• Firmware C source code available.
