While at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, California in late April (2010) I uncovered a couple of handy, interesting, and useful devices.
First, Saelig, a company that sells a variety of interesting products, now has an SD-to-USB adapter (Mobidapter, $US 39.95). Many engineers and programmers carry information, images, code, and documents on a USB memory stick, but if a smart phone, PDA, or embedded device lacks a USB port (or has all USB ports in use), the adapter lets them plug a USB stick into the adapter and the adapter into an secure-digital card (SD) slot. And, you can use a USB stick as a backup rather than an SD card. The adapter body has a Micro-SD connector, but add-on adapters let you use it in mini-SD and full-size SD sockets, too. For more details, go to: www.saelig.com/product/MIO001.htm.
Second, Micro Computer Control (MCC) has an i2cStick that gives you a connection between a USB port and an I2C bus. The I2C bus lines operate at 23, 86, 100, or 400 kbits/second and at bus voltages of 3.3 or 5 volts. You get free I2C EEPROM programming software, I2C message center software, a .NET library, and Visual Basic, C, C++, and MFC sample projects. The company offers an optional LabVIEW library, too.
When you must connect to an I2C bus to troubleshoot, control, program, or monitor I2C devices, the pocket-size i2cStick should do the job. Prices range from $US 150 to $US 250 depending on the interface cable you require and the quantity purchased. For more information, visit: www.mcc-us.com. And while you're on the MCC site, take a look at the IP-101 I2C Prototyping Board that offers designers and students a way to experiment with and test I2C-bus devices and circuits. --Jon Titus
