This is the Revision A verion of the OOPicHub15 RoboBrick. The status of this project is work in progress.
This document is also available as a PDF document.
The OOPicHub15 RoboBrick is a master RoboBrick that can control up to 15 slave RoboBricks. It uses a OOPic (or OOPic II) microcontroller from Savage Innovations. It contains a battery connection, power switch, and a 5 volt linear voltage regulator with fuse.
There is no programming specification for the OOPICHub15 RoboBrick yet. However, the table below allows you to figure out which pins on the OOPIC II go to the connectors on the OOPICHub15.
The ribbon cable that connects the OOPICHub15 to the OOPIC II has a 34 pin female (2×17) connector on one end and a 40 pin female (2×20) connector on the other. Pin 40 is connected to pin 34, thereby offsetting all of the pin numbers by 6. is a 34 conductor ribbon cable where pin 34 on hte
