Hardware for in- and outputs

EXPANSION III adapter

The Expansion III adapter has to be sticked simply on the Fallguy MP3 module and has connections for a keyboard matrix, a LC-Display and a RS232 interface.

External series resistor

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) could not connected directly to the module, but require additional hardware.

An external series resistor (mostly one of 270 Ohm) between the module output and the LED is enough.

CDSR adapter

The CDSR adapter was customer specific developed and is used to connect a touchpanel from Solitudes or Technovision to the Fallguy MP3 module.

The CDSR protocol was developed originally from Pioneer to connect CD players as audio devices.

IR receiver

By using an IR receiver a Fallguy MP3 module could be remotely controlled by an IR remote.

The specific IR remote selection and the button assignment is done through the specific customer firmware.

Additional hardware (RS485)

Using an additional RS485 driver hardware some Fallguy MP3 modules could be connected together via a RS485 bus.

This hardware also requires a small adjustment of the internal firmware (serial interface).

1x4 bis 6x4 Tastaturmatrix

1x4 to 6x4 keyboard matrix

Controlling of a MP3 module could be done either by the button inputs or an optional keyboard matrix (1x4 to 6x4 buttons).

The photo to the left shows a 3x4 keyboard matrix using the EXPANSION III adapter.

2x20-zeiliges LC-Display

LC-Display

If some information has to be shown on a LC-Display, double spaced LCDs could be connected using the EXPANSION III adapter.

The photo to the left shows a 2x20 double spaced LC-Display.
