The CCBB is a plug-on board designed to make your life easier during development of a CC16\/18 controller application. It features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Screw terminals for all 16 digital I\/O points, with several convenience connections to V+ and 0V;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Screw terminals for feeding power, with reverse polarity protection;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • LED indicators on all I\/O points;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • DIP switches to allow you to force inputs ON;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Convenient plug-on\/plug off to the CC16\/18 board;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Supplied with mounting hardware.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Using the CCBB<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

    When you receive the CCBB, the mounting hardware will be loose. You need to assemble it yourself. Use the picture above as a guide. The breakout board is not permanently fixed to the controller. The screws simply act as locating pins and feet. The CCBB is intended only as a temporary attachment while you develop your program. When plugging the two boards together, take care to align the connectors properly. It is perfectly normal for a small part of the pins on the controller to be visible when the two boards are connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The above picture shows the CCBB from above. You can connect power for the whole assembly through the pair of screw terminals on the left. That connection has a polarity protection diode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also use the\u00a0regular power connector<\/a>\u00a0on the CC16\/18 itself, if you prefer. It is not advisable to feed power in to the V+ terminals on the long edges of the breakout board, as these are not polarity protected. They are intended as a convenience for supplying power to external devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While you are experimenting with a program you can use the DIP switches and indicator LEDs to stand in for real external I\/O devices. Just remember that each I\/O point is actually an output wired in parallel with an input. To use it as an input the corresponding output must<\/em> be OFF. If the output is turned ON, the LED will turn on and the corresponding input will register as ON. In all cases ON means there is a connection from the pin to 0V (ground, circuit common).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    External input and output devices are connected using the same principles as\u00a0connecting directly to the<\/a>\u00a0controller board. The only difference is that the plug-in pins of the CC16\/18 have been extended to screw terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you do connect external devices, make sure that the DIP switches are turned OFF.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


    The best way to become comfortable with the breakout board is to hook everything together, connect to SPLat\/PC and experiment with the I\/O window in SPLat\/PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The CCBB does not <\/em>support the CC18 analog inputs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
