Embedded Artists' Experiment Expansion Board is packed with on-board peripherals for more advanced
experiments. The board has direct expansion connectors for the LPC2103/2138/2148 Education Boards.
The board can be used for education purposes as well as for experiment and prototype projects.

Description |
| Expansion Interface |
• LPC2103 Education Board - via the 20 pos expansion connector
• LPC2138 Education Board - via the 50 pos expansion connector
• LPC2148 Education Board - via the 50 pos expansion connector
|
| On-board Peripherals |
• 128x128 color LCD (interface via SPI bus) with backlight control
• 3-axis accelerometer (MMA7260 from Freescale)
• 10M Ethernet interface (ENC28J60 from Microchip, interface via SPI bus)
• Joystick switch

|
| Dimensions |
122 x 78 mm
|
| Power |
Powered with +3.3V from expansion connectors (either 20- or 50-pos connector).
Needs at least 200 mA.
|
| Connectors |
• 9-pos male DSUB (RS232 interface)
• RJ45 connector (Ethernet interface)
• uSD/transflash memory card connector
• interface to GPS module ()
• 20 pin input expansion connector
• 50 pin input expansion connector
|
| Other |
• Four layer PCB (FR-4 material) for best noise immunity
|
|
The board has two (input) expansion connectors for direct connection with some Education Boards.
The pictures below show the LPC2103/2138/2148 Education Boards connected to the
Experiment Expansion Board via a 20/50 pos flat cable.

In order to ease the experiments and development of application programs Embedded Artists'
Education Boards are delivered with a lot of software/sample applications.
-
Pre-emptive Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) - the RTOS is
delivered as a binary package together with some sample applications
that illustrate different functionalities of the RTOS.
- 3-axis accelerometer demo
- 130x130 pixel color LCD demo
- Game demo with display and joystick
- LED control demo
- Ethernet (ENC28J60) interface demo
-
Analog to Digital Converter - Demonstrates how to convert the analog inputs into digital values (for processors with built-in ADC).
-
Code Protection - Demonstrates how to enable the code protection functionality (for processors with built-in code protection functionality).
-
In-Application Programming - Demonstrates how to invoke the IAP functionality from an application program (to program the internal FLASH memory).
-
UART - Demonstrates how to use the UART in an irq and a polled implementation (i.e., with or without using interrupts).
Includes a general print number function.
-
Polled I2C - Demonstrates how to use the I2C as a master in polled mode (i.e., without
interrupts). Reading and writing to an i2c-eeprom is used as sample application.
-
SPI - Demonstrates how to use the SPI as a master in both a polled and interrupt
implementation.
-
SWI - Demonstrates how to use SWI interrupt (software interrupts) and how to
create a customer SWI handler.
-
FIQ Handler - Demonstrates how to create a customer FIQ handler.
-
IRQ Handler in SYS Mode - Demonstrates how to create an IRQ handler that execute interrupt handlers in SYSTEM mode, instead of IRQ mode.
-
PWM Examples - Demonstrates how to vary the frequency of a PWM signal and how to vary the
duty cycle of a PWM signal.
-
Timer Interrupt - Demonstrates how to use a timer (in interrupt mode) as system time counter
and how to register timer callback functions.
-
Timer Delay - Demonstrates how a timer can be used to implement exact (polled and irq)
delays.
-
Power Save Mode - Demonstrates how the idle mode can be used to save power.
-
Power Down Mode - Demonstrates how the power down mode (lowest power mode) can be used to save power.
-
Real-Time Clock - Demonstrates how the real-time clock can be used.
-
Watchdog - Demonstrates how the watchdog can be used.
QuickStart Build Environment
In order to be able to build the sample applications (and your own applications) the Education Boards
are delivered with Embedded Artists' build environment. It is based on GCC
v3.4.3 + newlib as the compiler.
Embedded Artists' Experiment Expansion Board is not just another education / prototyping board.
The many unique features and experiments have been developed in cooperation with universities.
