Electronics

The key to the successful use of microtechnology is well-designed and flexible electronics that enable easy control of the system. Our goal is to provide an electronics solution for your microtechnology application.

As a result, we now have a rich portfolio of electronic components for microtechnology, from laboratory applications to integration into mobile devices. In other words, from large-scale control to accompanying your series electronics, we offer a complete setup to turn an idea into a real success.

And to go one step further towards series production in microtechnology, we also offer an electronics briefing that enables the savvy professional to integrate our electronics into their own application in a cost- and space-saving way.

mp-Mulitboard

Evaluation board

The mp-Multiboard is an evaluation board that allows controlling one of our I²C controlled pump-drivers (mp-Lowdriver, mp-Highdriver, mp-Highdriver4) through an Arduino microcontroller.
Up to four mp6 micropumps can be directly connected to the board. An external power supply connector is available, but the board can also be powered through the microcontroller USB port. The board has multiple auxiliary connectors for future use with active valves, pressure and flow sensors. The mp-Multiboard comes preprogrammed with an interface software and windows application. Arduino source-code is available on our website. Interface protocol will be available soon.

Dimensions (circuit board):
100 x 50 x 17 mm
Adjustable parameters depens on the used driver
Amplitude range depens on the used driver
Frequency rangedepens on the used driver
Signal form depens on the used driver
USB Power supply 7.5 – 12 V, 500 mA
