Embedded MP3 modules made in Germany
Fallguy ULTRA MP3 module
Universal embedded MP3 module with 3 serial High-Speed interfaces
The Fallguy ULTRA MP3 module is an universal and compact embedded module for playing compressed audio data (MP3). The MP3 module was designed for use in embedded systems and for integration in customer specific environment. It is a versatile audio module for working in rough industrial applications.
The module is equipped with a SD-card slot for using with SD cards type SD or SDHC.
Controlling the module could be done either by buttons, digital and analog inputs or via the different serial interfaces. A connection for additional electronic to connect to a RS232-, RS485- or LAN-network (XPORT), as well as to a LC-display is provided.
The internal firmware of the module could be adapted to the customer needs. The playback behaviour is defined through the programmed firmware.
Fallguy ULTRA Carrier Board
An optional adapter PCB with RS232-, RS485- and LAN-interface, as well as connections for buttons a LC-display and a headphone plug is available (Fallguy ULTRA Carrier Board by LOETRONIC, Article-No.0201)
Optional: Casing Kit for the Fallguy ULTRA MP3 module
The Carrier Board with the ULTRA module attached to it is being put into the casing kit and fixed via screws. The interfaces of the Carrier Board that are in use are connected to the back panel of the case via cables included in the casing kit.
