A Sub-circuit is a stand alone circuit function consisting of a software module and schematic.

I2C card reader (ST14C02)

Description
I2C smart card reader based on the ST Microelectronics ST14C02 I2C memory smart card and equivalents. This sub-circuit utilises the Molex 91322-0004 smart card socket as the physical interface to the card. Use is made of the card detection switch contacts to apply power to the card through a current (approx. 50mA) limiting resistor. Series resistors to the SDA and SCL line limit I/O current to approx. 5mA.

Software functions

int ST1402_READ( int address )
    Read and return data from address.

void ST1402_WRITE( int address,int data )
    Write data to address.

int ST1402_PRESENT( void )
    Returns card presence state 0=absent, 1=present


Example: Read 16-bytes of card data

    if (ST1402_PRESENT()) {
        for (i=0 ; i<16 ; i++)
            CardData[i] = ST1402_READ(i);
    }

I2C real time clock (PCF8593)

Description
Real time clock based on the PCF8593 with battery backup.

Software functions

void PCF8593_ENABLE( BYTE state )
    Stop or start the clock according 
to state as follows:
0=off, 1=on.

void PCF8593_SETTIME(BYTE item, value)
    Set value of clock item. See table 1.

BYTE PCF8593_GETTIME(BYTE item)
    Get clock item. See table 1.

BYTE PCF8593_READ(int addr)
    Reads data from addr. Consult PCF8593 
data sheet.

void PCF8593_WRITE(BYTE addr,BYTE data)
    Write data to addr. Consult PCF8593 
data sheet.

Stepper motor MOSFET drive

Description
Stepper motor driver for uniphase stepper motors. Three stepper modes: half, full hi-torque, full lo-torque. Call SETP_DO() at regular intervals, set STEP_STEPS to move stepper motor.

Software functions

STEP_DO()    : stepper motor drive state machine. Call at
regular intervals e.g from timer tick interrupt service 
routine every 1ms.

STEP_STEPS   : 16bit variable for setting the number
steps the stepper motor is to move by, also indicates 
the number of steps to complete. The motor can be 
stopped at anytime by setting this variable to zero.

STEP_DIR     : 8bit variable for setting the direction of
rotation. 0=clockwise(default),-1=anticlock.

STEP_SPEEDT  : 8bit variable for setting the speed of the
stepper motor by setting the length of time in ticks between
steps (default 100). Eg if STEP_DO() is called every 1ms, a
value of 100 would cause a step change every 100ms.

STEP_MODE    : 0=half step(default), 1=full step 
hi torque, 2=full step low torque.

Example: Move clockwise 20 steps. This example assumes 
STEP_DO() is called at regular intervals by a timer 
interrupt routine.
STEP_MODE = 1;          // single step, hi-torque
     STEP_DIR = 0;           // rotate right
     STEP_STEPS = 20;        // 20 steps
     while( STEP_STEPS );    // wait until steps complete

4-bit port

Description
4-bit port built from individual port bits

Software functions

PORT4BIT_READ()  : returns value of 4 bit port
PORT4BIT_WRITE() : write value to 4 bit port

• 1-bit port
• 2-bit port
• 3-bit port

Piezo sounder (4 tones)

Description
Audio tone generator with tones SOUND_BEEP, SOUND_BLIP and SOUND_BUZ. Use SOUND_REPEAT to set the number of times the sound is repeated.

Software functions

SOUND_ENV(count, halft) : produces train 
of count pulses with a period of 2*halft
(units of microsecconds)

SOUND_BEEP() : ~1Khz tone for 250 
cycles

SOUND_BLIP() : ~1khz tone for 10 cycles
followed by 10ms pause

SOUND_BUZ()  : ~400hz for 4 cycles followed
by 10ms pauses repeated 14 times

SOUND_REPEAT : set this variable to specify 
how many times the sound is played. Does 
not appy to SOUND_ENV()
