Surprise boxes

Плата разработки TiTAN / TiTAN-I Development Board-I

Hello everyone! Today we would like to show you one more application of the TiTAN family boards. This is entertainment for children. To do this, we will need two TiTAN-I boards RFID Reader four RFID-labels or four cards Three servo drives Three multicolored boxes with a lid in which we will install servo drives Add […]

Creating a touch surface

Плата разработки TiTAN / TiTAN-I Development Board-I

Hello everyone! Today we will show you an interesting way to create a touch surface using only the TiTAN board without any specialized chips. Look what we’ve got. How does it work? You know that the human body is capable of accumulating an electric charge. This feature will be used by us. A little theory. […]

Smart greenhouse

Smart greenhouse - Titan msp430

Hello everyone! We are often asked about the possibility of using TiTAN in agriculture. Today we will show one of the options for using TiTAN as a greenhouse management system. We will be able to control the ventilation of the greenhouse depending on the humidity and temperature of the air, to water according to a […]

TiTAN-O

As many of you already know, a huge number of microcontrollers and digital circuits need 5 or 3.3 Volt power. And the devices controlled by the microcontroller can be powered by much higher voltages. For example, a relay or an electric motor will need 12 or 24 volts. Converting such voltages to 3.3 Volts with […]

TiTAN-J

We introduce you a new line of the TiTAN family – the TiTAN-J power amplifier for the frequency ranges 433/868/915 MHz. When using antennas with a high gain (from 2 dBi) located at a height of 1.5 meters and above in an open space, it is possible to achieve a reliable communication range of over […]

Walking robot – TiTAN-Octoped

It’s time to show a model of a radio-controlled walking robot. We used slightly modified models of KL-204 mechanism by bobsax from the Thingiverse web-site https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4463302  and the joystick case by Frederic_JELMONI https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3791343. And we express our deep gratitude to the authors for the excellently made models. Let’s start. We will need the parts of […]

Unique opportunities of MSP430

Плата разработки TiTAN / TiTAN-I Development Board-I

Microcontrollers with the MSP430 core have a unique opportunity to control the power and frequency of the core and the peripherals. First, let’s look at how you can manage the power control. The “low-power module” (LPM) node is responsible for this function. This module has eight operating modes. In the operating modes of this node, […]

Stereo UV-METER

MSP430 Titan Developer Board

«TiTAN Stereo UV-METER»  Today we are exploring two interesting libraries in the Arduino IDE that we inherited from the panStam. The first library is for working with the address RGB LED WS2812 (NeoPixel).  The second library is for working with the radio. We’re going to use these libraries in our project “TiTAN Stereo UV-METER”.   Some […]

Is it possible to connect Arduino IDE and TiTAN boards based on MSP430?

Плата разработки TiTAN / TiTAN-I Development Board-I

Is it possible to connect Arduino IDE and TiTAN boards based on MSP430? We receive many questions about the possibility of developing programs in the Arduino IDE for the TiTAN and TiTAN-I boards. Let’s try to contemplate the question. Initially, the mission of the TiTAN-project is to help those developers who are no longer lacking […]

Lesson 5. Working with IR remote control

Плата разработки TiTAN / TiTAN-I Development Board-I

Hello everyone. Our new lesson is dedicated to processing IR remote control signals. To do this, we will use a very interesting timer function – capture. With this timer function, it is possible to measure the signal duration at the input of the microcontroller. It is often used to measure the PWM signal, but we […]
