• RXI – High voltage input to voltage divider from high-voltage device. Signal will be shifted down and sent to low-voltage device on “RXO” pin.
• RXO – Low voltage output from voltage divider to low-voltage device. Signal is shifted down from “RXI” input.
• TXI – Low voltage input/output of MOSFET circuit. This pin interacts with “TXO” on the high side. Bi-directional, but this is the only shifter that will shift from low to high.
• TXO – High voltage input/output of MOSFET circuit. This pin interacts with “TXI” on the low side. Bi-directional, but this is the only shifter that will shift from low to high.
• To send a signal from the low-voltage side to the high-voltage side (e.g. from 3.3V to 5V), the signal must be input at “TXI”. It’ll pass through the converter and come out as a higher voltage on the “TXO” (transmit output) pin.
• On the other hand, a signal that strictly travels from high to low-voltage should pass from “RXI” to “RXO”.
• Sending a signal from the high side to the low side is less restricted. We can use either the bi-directional channel or the voltage divider, but we may need to leave the bi-directional channel for converting from low-to-high.

All of these ‘RX’, ‘RXI’, ‘RXO’, and even ‘RX0’ labels can get confusing. Remember ‘I’ stands for Input and ‘O’ stands for Output. If the Electric Imp sends a signal out of it’s ‘TX’ pin it’ll go into the ‘TXI’ pin on the LLC, get shifted up to 5V and come out the ‘TXO’ pin, and finally run into ‘RX’ on the Arduino.

• First go-to source for information and software for most popular micro-controlled motors / motor modules.

To rotate the stepper motor you provide a sequence of “high” and “low” levels to each of the 4 inputs in sequence. By setting the correct sequence of high and low levels the motor spindle will rotate. Reversing the sequence results in the direction being reversed. Note the jumper is only used to isolate the motor - leave jumper 'on' even when using external 5-12V to motor).

• High power dual stepper motor module

The board contains an L298N mounted on a heatsink, a 5 volt voltage regulator to “optionally) provide power for logic circuits, supporting diodes and capacitors and connectors as follows:

• Logic inputs for each H-Bridge circuit
• Power supply inputs for the motor power supply
• An optional 5 Volt power input for the logic circuits.
• Outputs for each DC motor

You’ll notice that the board also has a number of jumpers. Most of the time you will leave them in place, with the exception of one. They are as follows:

• CSA – This is the “current sensing” function for Motor A. If the jumper is in this function is ignored. Most of the time you’ll leave this jumper in place.
• CSB – The “current sensing” function for Motor B. Again you’ll usually just leave this in place to disable this function.
• U1 – Input 1 pull-up resistor. You will usually leave this in place, which enables a 10k pull-up resistor for the input.
• U2 – Input 2 pull-up resistor.
• U3 – Input 3 pull-up resistor.
• U4 – Input 4 pull-up resistor.
• 5v-EN – IMPORTANT: When this jumper is in place it enables the boards internal 78M05 5 Volt regulator, supplying logic power from the motor power supply. When this jumper is enabled you will NOT supply 5 volts to the 5 Volt input terminal.
  • When the jumper is removed you need to supply 5 Volts to the 5 Volt input terminal. If you do use the internal voltage regulator, then the motor power supply must supply at least 7.5 volts - due to the internal voltage drop in the transistors in the H-Bridge circuit. The combined voltage drop is 1.4 volts. So, if using 6 Volt motors the board requires at least 7.4V and 12V motors require at least a 13.4V supply.

The board has four input terminals plus two enable terminals. You will use these terminals to control both direction and speed or each motor. They are as follows:

• IN1 – Input 1 for Motor A
• IN2 – Input 2 for Motor A
• IN3 – Input 3 for Motor B
• IN4 – Input 4 for Motor B
• EN1 – Enable line for Motor A
• EN2 – Enable Line for Motor B

Here is some information about how to use the Raspberry Pi server to control the Internet Of Things:

Some examples of 'things' to connect

Using the information supplied below, create your own web page and add code that can control the remote 'things' (devices and multimedia content) via the Internet.

• Each coder has their own private website and their own private password:
• There is a real-time video streaming service that you can use to monitor the changes that you make, in real-time, at the remote site.
• There are also real-time sounds which you can be played when you make a change to things connected to both the bbpi and the thingypi server.

To create links to 'things' is like finding the route through a maze: you need to start at the beginning and 'join the dots' that take you on a clear path to the end of the maze. Yoiu can figure out how to join the dots by using a table, such as Table 1. below. When used this way, you are starting to learn about some very useful things that are more commonly known as Truth Tables

For example, start by 'joining the dots' (creating a valid URI) to the correct site name, server name, switch type and the switch action:

• Private server address (direct): 10.145.169.17
• Public server address (proxy): flipster.tv

• Private link to 34Spi server: 10.145.169.17 * Public link to 34Spi server: flipster.tv

You must create a link to 'join the dots' by using forward slashes “/” to join each part together to make a link from your browser to the remote device:

1. To turn Relay 01 on/off from within school: http://10.145.169.17//gpio/5/flip
2. To turn Relay 02 on/off from within school: http://10.145.169.17//gpio/5/flip
3. To turn Switch 2 on from within school: http://10.145.169.17//switch_02/on
4. To press Button 1 2 from within school: http://10.145.169.17//gpio/7/click

You don't need to know this but it may help -see information about:

• The Raspberry Pi General Purpose In Out (GPIO) pin/device numbers
• Radio Frequency (RF), remote control power switches

You must create a link to 'join the dots' by using forward slashes “/” to join each part together to make a link from your browser to the remote device. You must also place your link within the correct HTML5 multimedia tags.

This is some example HTML5 code that you may add to your web page to create a link to play a remote sound:

<audio controls>
<source
    src="http://flipster.tv/34sfiles/sound01.mp3"
    type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

And here is some example HTML5 code that you may add to your web page to create a link to play a remote video:

<video
    src='http://flipster.tv/34sfiles/video-01.mp4'
    type='video/mp4' width'210' height='210' controls>
</video>

Here are two working example of files that include the above code: - Play remote sound - Play remote video

Also, see WC3 Schools HTML5 video and HTML5 audio coding tutorials.

NOTE: It may take a few seconds for a sound and/or video link to appear in the page…! If the link(s) fail(s) to appear after one minute, try refreshing your web page.

MOSFET's have good switching characteristics and are widely used to control almost any DC load. This 4 channel IRF540 MOSFET is perfect for switching DC loads up to 10A. The module is optoisolated - note that the GROUND connections are in common so there is not complete isolation. The module is basically a “Solid-State Relay” for DC. Up to 4 individually controllable loads may be connected to the (+) and (-) switched outputs, all fed from a common power rail. Being a low side switch, when the switch is on, it connects the load (-) terminal to ground.

• Max Control Voltage (signal) : 6V
• LED indicator for each channel
• Chipset : IRF540
• Opto Isolator used : PS2801-4
• Max Switch Current: 10A (absolute max 33A with heatsink)
• Max Switch Voltage: 100V
