BrainStem GP 2.0

The BrainStem GP 2.0 is Acroname's next generation of the popular GP 1.0 module. It has much of the same I/O, connectivity, and internal TEA program multi threading as the GP 1.0, with a set of new features, including:

Infrared I/O in either NEC or RC5 protocols.
Much expanded program space, the GP2 stores one 16k and 11 1k TEA programs.
5V Vcc ouput at up tp 1A maximum provided regardless of input voltage; 3.2V to 28V input voltage accepted.



GP 2.0 New features:
Infrared I/O in either NEC or RC5 protocols.

GP2.0 features in common with GP1.0:
40 MHz RISC processor
5 channel, 10 bit A/D
5 digital I/O lines
1 MBit IIC port
IIC routing
Heartbeat status LED
Runs up to 4 TEA programs concurrently
UART serial port
Reflex architecture
4 high-resolution servo outputs
Execution of 9000 instructions per second
Access to I/O features via built-in serial command set
Convenient power and ground connections for each I/O pin

The GP2.0 is currently supported on Windows, MacOS X and Linux, and can be accessed through software developed by Acroname, including the Console and GP applications. In addition, SDKs are provided for C and Java development. A TEA compiler, the GP and Console programs, support libraries, and example programs are available on multiple platforms. The TEA compiler is also integrated into the Console. The BrainStem software can be downloaded from the
Acroname download center section for free.
