We where wondering why we couldn't get any new processors for our USB sticks, now we know:

The jailbreaking software "psgroove" has been released. Its based on Atmels 8bit USB processors, we also use on FUL/CUL/CUN. Therefore the "global shortage" is effecting our CUL availability.

At least one good news: gsgroove has been confirmed working with our AT90USB162-Evaluation sticks.

Happy if you got one!

You might know the problem. A guest would like to connect to the internet within your office. Shall you allow or deny it?

Potentially there is a big risk of giving foreigners access to your local LAN. Therefore "bitbridge" has been designed. It makes sure your guests traffic will be safely tunnelled to a destination outside your LAN before it is accessing the internet.

So the guest and you are not effected by any harm. Your LAN and WAN connectivity is just used to tunnel guest data. But the guest won't be able to access any of your inhouse systems.

Just plug in the network cables and the 6 volt power supply and feel safe.

The CC110x-Serial-Module CSM enables you to prepare 868MHz radio data and feed it to the host using ordinary serial ports.

The new Basic-USB-Interface: BUI module was developed in need of a affordable programmer for our busware gadgets CPM-BS, CSM or CUN.

It features a 8-bit bidirectional low voltage translator down to 1.0 Volt. Busses as SPI, I2C and UART are available on the 2x5 100mil pinheader. The module can optionally power the target with 5V. This will make the creation of user-specific-adapters (JTAG, RS485, 1wire etc.) easy.

i.e. LUFA project AVRISP runs on it, makes it a AVRISPmkII clone ...

Proper covers are also available ;)

To speed up applications and minimize cost we have started evaluating Luminary Micros Stellaris processors in conjunction with CPM module.

This 6LoWPAN enabled gadget is displaying twitter or facebook feeds on a 7x50 LED matrix. Just power it up and enjoy ...
Watch the 15 sec. clip here.

BTW: The device will also act as 6LoWPAN-router as it is permanetly powered. This will help to distribute the WPAN for homeautomation.

The CUL has got a big brother - called CUN with additional I/O capabilities as additional FLASH and RAM memories and: TCPIP

This will allow you to access wireless airdata "worldwide" simply using the internet!

Have a look at our YouTube-movie about a CUL21 gets hand soldered while prototyping.

We just started the BAP-project. Busware AVR Programmer. This is probably the smallest native USB programmer for AVR processors. The board is equipped with an AT90USB162 and bidirectional levelchangers for all of its PORTB I/Os available on the 10-pin 100mil connector.

The module itself can be flashed via USB (dfu-programmer/FLIP). So its possible to implement any other interface (like JTAG) at a later stage.

Forgot: a LED and switch for multipurpose is also available

... and making very small series cost effectiv and fast to market, we have invested into a Essemtec EXPERT half-automated Pick&Place machine with Dispense- and Videosystem.

Especially low volume, startup projects will benefit from inhouse production.
