The ICON Serial Adapter is designed to simplify testing and development
of projects using the ICON Interface Module and the ICON H-Bridge module.
This board can be used with the ICON Interface Module Software to quickly
access and configure all capabilities of both the ICON Interface Module
and the ICON H-Bridge.
In addition to providing an RS232 serial interface to the ICON Interface
Module the ICON Serial Adapter can facilitate in-circuit-serial-programming,
and in-circuit-debugging when used in conjunction with Microchip's DV164002
ICD module. An on-board modular jack provides direct connectivity to the
DV164002. This allows custom firmware to be inserted into the ICON Interface
Module for customer testing or applications. AN601 describes the methodology
used to upload custom firmware through the ICON Serial Adapter into the
ICON Interface Module.

ICON H-Bridge Module
The ICON H-Bridge provides easy connectivity and logic level control
of brushed DC motors to 40V and 12A. An on board microcontroller
can be accessed via standard serial communication, and provides
temperature and current monitoring, as well as user defined temperature
and current fuse settings.
ICON Position Controller
PID based position controller for use with brushed DC motors equipped
with quadrature encoders. Direct, Analogue, Velocity, or Trapezoidal
control modes with 32 bit position control. Can act as a stand alone
position controller or will work under control of a master unit.
Operates with the ICON H-Bridge configured in direct drive mode.
ICON Interface Module
Can act as the ICON H-Bridge Programmer. Other features of this
design include uni-directional and bi-directional analogue control,
serial 8N1, or motor speed control for use with the ICON H-Bridge.
Set point based speed control system, or direct PWM control via
communication interface.
ICON Communication Module
The ICON Communication Module is designed to simplify testing and
development of projects requiring RS232 or RS485 serial communication
level conversion. The device can be mounted directly to the ICON
Interface Module, ICON Position Controller, or the Mini Position
Controller using supplied stand-offs and ribbon cable hardware.
ICON BS2 Carrier Board
This kit based on application note AN600 allows a single Parallax
BASIC Stamp 2 to control two ICON Interface Modules and the ICON
H-Bridges connected to them. This assembly is ideally suited for
medium sized robotics projects. Various application notes are available
to support this product.
