XMOS L2 Control Board

Flexible Multi-Axis & Communications

The XP-MC-CTRL-L2 Industrial control board provides a general-purpose development platform for applications powered by the XMOS XS1-L2. To enable connection to user hardware, Ethernet, CAN and GPIO connectivity is included. The GPIO is accessible through an IDC connector on the edge of the board offering 37 digital I/O and 6 channels of isolated analog input from the discrete ADC.

The board comes pre-installed with a demo program that exercises the Ethernet, ADC, display, buttons and multiple peripheral functions over IDC edge connector. The I/O functions include hall sensor read, quadrature encoder input and generation of PWM. The demo is also controllable using a command interface over a Telnet port over Ethernet.
