Freebus to USB module

Prototype V1.2

This module has been discontinued - see new version

General

This small module will give you access to Freebus. The on-board Atmel AVR will handle the native USB link to the host PC and the fieldbus protocol.
The module is optical isolated and powered by USB. It ships with a DFU-bootloader. Use dfu-programmer to upload new firmware. Alternately you may solder an 6FPC-pinheader and use serial ISP programming.
