6.2.2 Implementing your Hardware

1) Connection to the HelloDevice

The user can directly connect his device to the HelloDevice using the 20-pin connector (2.5mm pitch) instead

of connecting through the demo board. The users can access the 5V power supply from the HelloDevice

through 20-pin connector, or provide their own power supply. The state of the input or output contact points

can be initialized to run as the High Active or Low Active. The I/O contact points of the HelloDevice run at

5V TTL power, and can recognize high or low inputs depending on the hardware design, or can set the output

status as high or low depending on user design.

2) Input Unit Design

The user device can send high or low signal of 5V TTL level to the input interface unit of the HelloDevice

through the photocoupler. That is, when the photocoupler (PC345) connected to the input terminal of the

external device becomes an “ON” status, the input contact point unit of the HelloDevice can receive the signal

and drops from high to low.

3) Output Unit Design

The 5V TTL level signal generated by the HelloDevice is set to match the voltage level of the user device.

When the status of the output point is changed from high to low by connecting the photocoupler (PC817) of

the HelloDevice between Vcc and the output point, a relay can be used for on/off control of the connected

device Figure 6.8 shows an example of a circuit to use an output contact point.
