Overview

This is the 1/3 chapter of IGEP BERLIN Expansion Tutorial Guide.

In this first chapter, we will learn how to connect some expansion peripherals.

Requirements

In these tutorials we are going to need the following components:

  • IGEP COM PROTON or IGEP COM MODULE.
  • 5V DC power supply with a minimum of 3A current capacity.
  • Seiko 7" screen if you need a touch screen.
  • Ethernet cable for network communications.
  • A monitor compatible with DVI-D.
  • An USB keyboard and a mouse (optional).
  • 4 pin connector for CAN Bus with another IGEP Board with CAN peripheral to follow CAN Bus communication tutorial.
  • SIM card with an antenna to follow Telit modem tutorial.
  • Composite video cable, composite video output peripheral (PAL or NTSC) and a screen to follow TVP5151 tutorial.
  • Li-on battery with 3V3 (optional).
  • A PC.

Getting started

Ethernet Network cable

Basic
